GIFTS TO THE NAVY.
ARE THEY DOING HARM? NEW ZEALANDS'S EARLY VISIT. By Telegraph..—Press Association.—CopyTisW London, Thursday. The Daily News, discussing the naval situation, says: —"What people are anxious to know is whether the ships presented or built by the Dominions are to be of real assistance or an additional burden on British people. "If the ships are an unnecessary expansion of an otherwise adequate programme, then the Dominions are doing good to nobody, but are harming themselves and Britishers." Replying in the House of Commons to a question by Mr Lee, Mr Winston Churchill. First Lord of the Admiralty, made it clear that there would be no modification of the naval programme on account of the offer of a ship by the Malay States. This would be in addition to the programme arranged. Mr Churchill added that the battlecruiser New Zealand was being quickly completed, and would go to New Zealand some months earlier than wag expected. She was practically in commission at the present time.
