Strengthening the British Navy

LORD SELBORNE ON THE

SCAREMONGERS

Lord Selborne, in reply to a question by Earl Spencer in the House of Lords laid that at the present moment they were subject to a great deal of criti cism, and he welcomed criticism, pro vided it c&KQe from legitimate sources and il was reasonable. The depart ment of naval intelligence had no •dmiiastrativa duties at ail, Its only dttty wai to thitjk s it waa simply not the case that there was no provi sion in the Admiralty for thinking out naval problems. He did not depart from the old accepted two Power stand* urd at which the Navy shoald be main tained, bat he would express it in r different way. He would gay that the Navy ought to be so strong that it eoula have the reasonable certainty of success in the performance of any duty its was reasonably probable it would be Called upon to perform. On the qaes« tioi) of the distribution of the exiating chips, be said once and for all that the Admiralty alone had the information in its possession which enabled if to jttdge of this question. (Hear, hear,) ThH Admiralty had the information of the Foreign Office at its disposal, and knew tb® political state of the Drorldt sad if Parliament or the Press waa going to undertake the distribution of the ships of the Navy he, for one, declined to be responsible He found that eight Great Powers had 318 battleships and cruisers in common, •nd of that number Great Britain had more than one-third, namely, 120 These shlpa were ranged in squadrons with definite duty «ll over the world. | Ha declined to accept the view that the Mediterranean wai s strategical unit by itself. It wwa nothing of the kind. The sea was all one, and the W&vy was all one The destination of ships was governed by 'considerations of the moment, snob m the distribution ,of the fhips of other Powers and the calls on the Navy, They must never let the number of active service ratings &t borne fell below a certain propor tion^ Bud be thought it would have been iojorioui if any interruption had taken plaoe is the work of the guaaery schools. No political circumstances ftsistfld last year or at the moment which would justify any interrup tion of the work of these school?, and with the sew ships coming on they would be able to resume the Hitufal process of distribution. He itid» with the fullest possible sense of Mb responsibility, that the Mediterranoo fleet on » war footiag would be absolutely ftdequata to tny task that they could foresee would be assigaed to it; bear.) He could see no foundation for the idea that the Channel Squadron and other reinforcements would not be likely to reach the Mediterranean SqaiJron before any combination of hostile squad* rons had been affected. The suggestion that the Mediterranean Squadron should be kept at full war strength was an impossible suggestion. It was quite certain that in a ?ery short period the old position would have occurred, and the only natural result would have been additional expenditure. The real question was what proportion of the war strength should be main tained in the fleet, and he reasserted that no one except the Admiralty was really in a position to know the needs onjthe subject of distribution.

In the course of this statement Lord Selborae detailed the latest additions to the fleet, which were to be delivered in a short period. They included three battleship?, six cruisers, ton destroyers six submarines, and auxiliary vessels. The vote of £5,306,E00 for ship building, repairs, and maintenance, including the cost of naval docks at borne and abroad, was carried by a spujority of 144,

Mr Carnegie's University Scheme.

INTERIM SECRETARY ON

BENEFACTION.

Speaking at a meeting in Donferm line recently, Mr John Boss, solicitor, Dunferailinp, who had a good dealito do with the drawing up of tbe deed for I)r Oaroegie'a benefaction, and who is interim Secretary for the Trusfc, aaid that at first sight it might appear that the benefaction h»d little direct inter est lor tbe secondary schools, and at first it was gravely apprehended tbat It might be detrimental to the second ary schools aad the Universities. Happily the apprehended difficulty, had been entirely gob over, The authorities of the Universities, and of lbs secondary schools were, "alike. atfcisfied tbat the benefaction was likely to be of great benejit; to both classes of institutions, The effect which ifc would hj*ve on secondary scboQif won Id. bjethat no one would be entitkd to chare in it unless able to pass an examination qualifying for entry, to,, fche University, It was recognised by authorities that pre paratory work coald be done better in the secondary schools than in tbe junior classes of the Universities. The University authorities did not thank «ny one for students who went only partially pre ptreiJ; They would much rather confinff themselves to their work proper, and allow the preparatory work to be dona in the secondary schools. Then the scheme w*3 serviceable to the secondary Bchoo's in this w»y, that if students went qualified to the University they would get free admission to go through tbe whole course without having to pay a single penny of fcea,
