By Cable—Pras3 Association—Copyright,
London, December 4.
Lord Roberts, in a letter to the Times, said that Lord Haldane talked loosely of our command of the -sea as a profounl strategical principle.

The expenditure of an additional four millions would provide an adequate army and give freedom of action to the navy and the overseas expeditionary force.
