THE AUSTRALIAN NAVY.
ITS PERSONNEL. QUESTIONS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. BJr Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received 7, 0.60 p.m. London, October 7. In the House of Commons, the Earl of Winterton asked Mr. Reginald Me> Kenna (First Lord of the Admiralty) whether the Admiralty intended to lend the Commonwealth of Australia 2000 men in connection with the Navy agreement, and whether the personnel of the Navy would be increased to make good the loss in the Imperial Navy. Mr. McKcnna replied that it was premature to make a statement on the subject. He did not know that 2000 would be the number sent. The Earl of Winterton was in error in assuming that the personnel ol the Imperial Navy would be decreased, since many British men were already on the Australian station. . Replying to Major W. AnstnitherGray, Mr. McKenna declined to discuss whethi> r the Admiralty would diminish the number of men on the Australian station or that they would be replaced by colonials.
