FEDERAL POLITICS.
LABOR'S NAVAL POLICY.
STRON'.; CRITICISM,
By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Melbourne, February 11.
Mr. Joseph Cook, Federal Minister for Defence, commenting on Mr. Andrew Fisher's speech, says it was so much moonshine for Mr. Fisher to try and create an impression that the naval scheme was his party's. The two schemes were quite distinct, and had a different purpose and a different objective. They were only alike in this that his vessels were almost an infinitesimal item in his scheme. \\ nat the Fisher Government did in the way of inaugurating a new navy was to order three small boats, and instead of getting the best advice of naval authorities in Britain, put the matter in the hands of a private naval architect, who was being paid two per cent, commission to supervise them.
