IMPERIAL POLITICS.
THE NAVAL DEBATE. [ j,y Electric Telegraph—Copyright' l [United Press Association.] Ottawa, May 6. The House has resumed the naval debate. Mr White declared that Britain would bo compelled to build additional ships for the defence of the Empire if Canadian vessels were not built. “A COMPLETE FARCE.” (Received 11.0 a.m.) London, May 7. Replying to Mr Bonar Law, Mr Asquith (Premier) said there would be only a formal committee stage in the Home Rule disestablishment, and Scottish Temperance Bills. The usual procedure would be a waste of time since any amendment would destroy the identity of the Bills. Mr Bonar Law retorted: “Then our discussion will be a. complete farce.” Mr Birrell and Mr McKenna re-in-troduced three Bills, which were not discussed.
