ONE NAVY.

PSYCHE’S COMMANDER GREETED SPEECHES AT TIMARTJ. [From Our Correspondent.] TIMARU, February 27. The Mayor and other representative citizens having called on Commander Carr after the arrival of H.M.S. Psycho yesterday, the Commander returned the call to-day, and a little ceremony took place in the Borough Council Chamber. The Mayor (Mr W. Angland), proposed Commander Carr’s health, and Mr James Craigio, M.P., supported the toast. In concluding his remarks the member for Timaru said that on such an occasion he would not dare to talk politics, but he did just wish to say that he was a ono-navy man. Ho had no love for sectional navies or tin-pot navies. ' Ho believed in one great navy for the protection of the whole Empire. If Mr Massey thought the Empire wanted help and offered to give another Dreadnought ho would support the offer heartily, oven if it cost him the Timaru seat.

Commander Carr alluded briefly to Mr Craigie’s remarks. He said that as a Navy man he could not venture to talk upon political grounds. mo would like to say for himself, however, that he approved most warmly of what Mr Craigio had said. His idea, was one great navy that would uphold the supremacy of tlm seas and secure the peace of the world.
