DOCKYARDS AND ARSENALS
A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION'. By Cable.—Press Association.—C'opyrign London, September 8. Sir Benjamin Brown, in an article in The Tiraea engineering supplement dea' ing with colonial arsenals and dockyard <. suggests that colonial shipbuilding, steel works, marine engine ajid ordinance yards, should be encouraged to improve tlieir methods and enlarge their shops by offers of a share of the Government's contracts. He proposes that colonht firms should get in touch with oldestablished English houses willing to find some capital with additional management and to supply designs and drawings. He suggests that colonial firms might arrange to buy out the English element after a term of years. Such a method, he contends, would develop local experience and patriotism better tlwn asking English companies to start colonial branches.
