NAVAL DEFENCE.
j A PROPOSED CONFERENCE. By Cable—Press Association —Copyright. Received 20, 11.35 p.m. London, January 20. The Times says that Sir W. Laurier's naval proposals are not unpopular. Canada approves them as a sequel rather than as an alternative to Mr. Borden's immediate help. Doubtless Mr. Allen, whose arrival in London will be welcomed, will approve of Mr. Fisher's desire for a conference at Vancouver. The need for a conference will be greatly reinforced by the fact that all members ot the last Defence Conference, except Australia, have tacitly departed from the principles laid down. The Admiralty is rightly preoccupied by immediate needs, but it will endanger its reputation in the Dominions if it concentrates its attention exclusively on the circumstances of the moment and European affairs. The shortcomings of Mr. Churchill's predecessor compelled them to include the New Zealand in the navy's European strength. It is now obvious that a sixth ship must be laid down to replace her.
