NAVAL BUILDING.
BRITAIN’S POLICY.
NO ARMAMENTS RACE. KEEPING UP-TO-DATE. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—-Copyright. Received July 22, 5.5 p.m. London, July 21. Mr. Lloyd George, in the House of Commons, replying to a question, said the Government had neither committed itself to nor cont-'inplated any naval i building programme in answer to that ;of any other Power. On the other , hand, as the result of a frank and I friendly discussion between the principal naval Powers, it might be possible to avoid competitive building. It would be a dereliction of duty on the part of the Admiralty to allow the efficiency, training and morale of the navy to deteriorate through neglect of providing it with material equal to the best, and it was therefore essential to replace obsolete capital ships. This was not affected by the possible success of the Washington Conference.—-Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
