There were, however, differences between British naval power and that of a great friendly empire which he trusted-would Jong remain friend= ly the empire of Germany. ‘(Great applause, ) ; ‘| For Great.

He believed that a considerable body of public opinion favored thé flotation of a great naval loan. This could be presently the best of terms; but. what use would it be to the navy? - Great Britain has built enough ships to secure effective com- mand of the sea, and it was were necessary for that _ Purpose in any one year. - What was wanted was. steady sensational or violent departure from existing methods Was re- quired.

There was’ no need of any -anxiety as-to our shi subclone capacity, It. was cient to say thatit was wi- equalled i in the world. There was without fear or ‘arrogance, but Great Britain, said Mr, Church- ill in continuation; would be the first power to welcome a retarda- | § tion or slackening of naval rival- ry. She would meet any such slackening not with words, but with deeds. But if there were to be increases on the continent, she would have no trouble in meeting them, Naval competition was becoming more acute, but Great Britain would not only in- crease the number of her ship: but the ratio of her naval strength to that of the other great naval. powers, Germany was a great power, respected and honored all over the world before she had.a single ship. These facts ought to he clearly Stated,. because the sugrestion that the navel risks of Great Britain and-Germany were- on an equality. were utterly untrue, The government hadresolved-te maintain the naval supremacy which “the “country enjoyed.
