BRITAIN AND GERMANY.
BRITAIN'S'NAVAL PROGRAMME.
RADICAL OPPOSITION TO AN INCKUASE. ~ Received August 25, 9.20 a.m. LONDON, August 24. The "Daily News" and other Radical papers bitterly oppose an increased Navy programme on the lines stated in the "Westminster Gazette" and other paper?, which it is now considered tolerably certain will be put forward.
To match Germany's programme, the Berlin correspondent of the "Westminster Gazette" says it will be necessary for Britain in 1909 to lay down six more Dreadnoughts and to raise the naval estimates to fortyone millions sterling. The "Gazette" favours a loan which would enable the Admiralty to fix the snip-building programme for four yearp, subject to modification if Germany modifies hers.
