to be an immensely valuable concession

Naval Estimates Attacked.
During the discussion of the naval es-

Great Britain, he insisted, was not
richer than the United States, nor than
France and Russia combined.
John Dillon, Nationalist member for
East Mayo, in supporting the reduction,
said:
British statesmen who attempt to in
| duce the United States to abandon their
traditions by embarking in wild ca
| reer of naval competition with Europe
will bitterly regret 1t. For the day will
come when England will be hard driven
to maintain naval equality with the
United States alone. The first lord Of
the admiralty (AIr. Goschen) is trying
to compete with six powers"
Arthur ]. Balfour, the government
leader. denied that either the first lord
of the admiralty or the government had
any such insane idea. The first lord Of
the admiralty, he declared. had delib-
erately based his policy upon the ac-
cepteaprlnclple that Great Britain's ma
Wy should be equal to the force of any
two other powers.
The house rejected the motion for
reduction in the estimates by 147 votes
