THE SAFETY OF THE REALM
It will be seen that, while there is no ground for panic and hysteria, there are good grounds indeed why every aspect of what is undoubtedly a grave situation should be calmly and fairly faced. There must be, of course, .an immediate increase in the shipbuilding grogramme, and there should be, we old, a careful and exhaustive investigation into the present management and administration of naval affiairs. Judging bv the evidence, all is not well with that force -“upon which, under God (to use the words of the preamble to the Naval Discipline Act), the safety and welfare of the Realm doth depend,” and when the present situation becomes a little less tense the Imperial Parliament will be discharging a plain duty if it appoints a representative commission for the -purpose of taking stock of the Navy and the Admiralty, of seeing whether things are or are not satisfactory, and of considering whether ; the administrative policy of the future is being shaped von sound lines.—-“Neiv Zealand Tablet.” j
