ed the naval programme in,the house Of
commons to-day. In doing so hessaid
that the estimate OF the admiralty was
not proposed with any alarm, although
he hoped he might be relieved from the
necessity OF dwelling upon the critical
nature OF the times. In any case the
first lord of the admiralty hoped that
the estimates proposed would be ac-
cepted by the country as adequate for
the occasion. The increase IN the num-
ber OF the ships must necessarily be

rections 1t meant more armaments.

and ratings of every kind, entaiiinE
more centres for training, hospitals and
barracks.
Continuing, Mr.. Goshen said It was
not necessary TO look far ahead nova
days, as ships could be built - rapidly
as guns, officers and men could be pre-
pared to handle them.
Mr., Goshen then said that the ad-
miralty proposed TO Increase the navy
by 1900 seamen. etc, and by 500 extra
marines. For guns and ammunition,
the admiralty proposed q supplement-
ary estimate OF 100000 pounds tsi,ooo,-
000} for the present year and for the en-
suing fiscal year, the admiralty pro
posed an increase of $S50.000. M
The admiralty also proposed an in-
crease OF 2,250.000 pounds for docks, and
explained that the proposed dock works
would Increase the amount to s,soe.oOo
provided by the last estimates, to a.
900 900 pounds, and the chancellor OF the
exchequer had placed the surplus, after
satisfactory supplementary estimates
had been applied, to these works.
The government proposed that the
estimates this year should amount to
2s,O0o, 900 pounds,
Mr. Goshen submitted the substitutes,
he said, not in a spirit OF bcastful ex-
agEeration or provocation. They were
