THE NAVAL PROBLEM.
DOMINIONS’ POSITION DISCUSSED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, April 12. The naval correspondent of the Morning Post commends Mr. Hughes’ clear lead in fav.or of the Dominions sharing the cost of the navy, and says Mr. Hughes implied that this would be made conditional upon the Dominions having a voice in the higher direction of the navy. This is only right, proper, and logical. The Admiralty has already tacitly admitted this in the proposed appointments of Dominions’ officers to the Admiralty. This agreement, based upon the Empire’s dependence upon the navy and the Dominions’ right to share control, augurs well for the naval part of the Imperial Conference. Although Lord Jellicoe’s mission was carried out before the war’s economic aftermath was thoroughly realised, his report contains elements for t’he standardisation of Imperial naval defence. After an agreement had been reached on the subject of proportionate contributions, the strategical peace distribution of the units will be essential, in respect of which Dominion representation at the Admiralty will prove of the greatest assistance. —Aus.-N.Z.
