A LABOUR DILEMMA
SMALLER NAVY MEANS LESS WORK GOVERNMENT’S PROBLEM (Australian and X.Z. Press Association} Received 10.45 a.m. WASHINGTON, Thursday. The Secretary of State, Mr. H. L. Stimson, emphasising that Mr. Ram3ay MacDonald, the British Prime Minister, would be cordially welcomed it and when he came to the United States, stated that he had no ilformation that that visit would come soon. A London dispatch says: Nothing is causing the Labour Government greater anxiety than its naval policy. It is now understood that Mr. MacDonald will go to America in the autumn to confer with President Hoover. The “Daily Chronicle” says the. question of the dropping of submarines is presenting difficulty. This arises mainly from the point of view of strategy. The lesser naval Powers refuse to sacrifice what they consider to be an economical form of defence. As regards the building programme generally' the Government is on the horns of a dilemma. It is anxious to cut down expenditure, yet it realises that to reduce its programme would mean less work at a time when it is most anxious to increase employment.
