DISCUSSED BY WINSTON CHURCHILL GROWTH OF OVERSEAS FORCE. (Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock ) LONDON, May 16. Speaking at the Shipwright's Companies banquet, tho Right Hon. Winston Churchill said that it would be his duty to again ask Parliament for men, money and materials, if the additional estimates were not so large as he hoped, or as others feared. The Government hoped to convince Parliament that what was asked for was necessary and sufficient. It was essential that the fleet should be concentrated in a decisive theatre in European waters, thus creating a new want and affording a new opportunity for tho overseas Dominions. "We could, if need arose," continued Mr Churchill, "despatch strong squadrons to aid the Dominions which were menaced or attacked, but the main development of the next decade should b© the growth of an effective ■ naval force, which would then be able to iwike a true division of labour—tho Motherland to maintain the .supremacy at a decisive point, while the daughter States euard and patrol the rest of the Empire."
