THE NAVAL ESTIMATES.

MUST BE NO REGRETS. By Electrto Ttj.koraph—Copyright" l [United Prkss Association.l (Received 9.55 a.m.) London, January 25. The Rt. Hon. C. E. H. Hobhouse 1 Financial Secretary to the Treasury), it Bristol, declared it was the wealthy people who were calling for increased armaments, and lie iioped they would not regret it if Mr Lloyd Qeorge called upon them to pay a ittle more if the increase were decided upon. THE INCREASING INTEREST. London, January 24. The Spectator, in view pi the coming deficit, recommends Mr Lloyd George to reconsider the naval loan on the ground of the enormous political advantage from regularising our expenditure similar to the German method under naval law, and also of frankly advertising our intentions to the world. The Lord Mayor states that the proposed city meeting will be nonparty, inasmuch as it will favor the patriotic and non-political object of supporting the Government in its measures for the supremacy of the navy and protection of merchantmen.
