BRITISH NAVAL EFFICIENCY. I # Dresden ^ New York §|A controversy of the greatest significance, which has been before the British public for some time in the shape of rumours, has during the past week reached all but a climax. It is notorious in many circles, high and low, that Lord Charles Beresford, the Commander-in-Chief of the Channel Fleet, is opposed, on many grounds, to the policy of the Board of Admiralty and the regime of Sir John Fisher; it is less notorious, and although it is not absolutely verified there is every ground for be lieving the report, that these differences of opinion have led to a personal breach between Lord Charles Beresford and his superior officer, the First Sea Lord, on the one hand, and one of his sub ordinate flag officers, on the other. A discussion has been raised, in the Press and later in the House of Commons, as to how far such action on the part of Lord Charles Beresford is detrimental to the service and dangerous to the safety of the nation, and as to whether it is not the duty of the Cabinet to take cognizance of these differences in the interests of the State. It has been held by Mr. Arthur Lee, who was a Lord of the Admiralty in the Balfour Government, that if these controversies actually exist among the senior officers of the Fleet, they must “imperil the efficiency of the first line of defence, so vital to the safety of the Empire;” and the Times in a weighty article, as just as it is severe, maintains that Lord Charles Beresford would outrage the good sense of his countrymen and alienate their good will “if by his action and his attitude he should leave the country no alternative but to believe that he deems himself entitled to flout the authority of the Board of Admiralty and to set a deplorable example of indiscipline and insubordination to the Fleet.” It was on the same day as this article appeared that questions bearing directly on the Government’s proposed action were raised in the House of Com mons, and elicited from Mr. Asquith a brief, digni fied, and, as it is universally agreed, statesmanlike reply. Mr. Bellairs asked whether the Government would devote their consideration to alleviating the dissensions among the senior naval officers; and, if so, whether the Government would impartially endeavour to arrive at a complete knowledge of the method of introduction and the value of the changes in administration and organization which originated this antagonism. Mr. Asquith replied that the Government had no knowledge, apart from un verified rumours, of the dissensions alleged. If they found reason to believe that a state of things existed which was in any way detrimental to the discipline or smooth working of the Fleet, they would not hesitate to take prompt and effective action. “As regards the latter part of the question,” he added, “I must repudiate emphatically the sugges tion which it appears to convey. The direction of tiie policy of the country lies with the Government of the day, and it is the business of naval officers on active service not to discuss or criticize that policy, but to carry it out with loyalty to their superiors, in harmony with one another, and with a single eye to the efficiency of the great service to which they belong.” The attempt on the part of opponents of the Present naval regime to make use of this oppor tunity in order to attack a method of defence or ganization which they believe to be wrong will be regretted by people of all shades of opinion. As Mr. McKenna, the First Lord of the Admiralty, Pointed out later in the afternoon, to subject the toard of Admiralty to an inquiry would be tanta mount to a vote of censure incompatible with its Peculiar position among the permanent depart ments of Government. An inquiry would, in act , imply a vote of censure on the Go vernment itself, for, although the Board of dmiralty does actually originate naval policy m a great degree independently of the House of ^ommons, the ultimate responsibility for naval Policy rests with the House of Commons.

To this question there is only one answer consistent with good sense and good dis cipline, and it is held in influential quarters that not all Lord Charles Beresford’s personal popularity and great merit could save him from repeating in its culmination the late Sir Redvers Buller’s unfortunate career, to which his own has so far borne a striking parallel.

Mr. Walters asked whether, in view of the lack of employment in the East-end of Sheffield among workmen chiefly dependent upon Admiralty orders the Admiralty would expedite the distribution of contracts ? Mr. Macnamara said " the amount of money the Admiralty could spend was limited by the amount Parliament sanctioned, and no fresh expenditure could be incurred this year without a supplemen tary estimate. Mr. J. Hope: Will the hon. gentle man propose such an estimate in view of the ex ceptional distress in Sheffield, and the fact that a larger Naval programme will have to be undertaken next year? Mr. Macnamara: Not as at present advised. Mr. Walters pointed out that if these specially trained men were thrown out of work and scattered, great difficulty would be experienced in carrying out the increased Naval programme which was in evitable next year. Mr. Owen Philipps asked if the Admiralty had sent a letter to Pembroke Dock, expressing appre ciation of the fact that the first-class cruiser “Warrior,” built at the Welsh dockyard, was built cheaper than any other ship of her class, and com plimenting the officers and men who contributed to this creditable result. Mr. Macnamara said the Admiralty had sent such a letter to the superintendent of the dockyard. Mr. Philipps asked whether in view of the sav ing effected by building ships in Welsh dockyards, m the larger programme of the near future . he would see that one of the large ships was allotted to the Welsh dockyards. Mr. Thorne: And will he consider the Thames and the East-end of London (hear, hear). Mr. Jenkins: Is it not a fact that this is the in variable result with all ships built in His Majesty’s dockyards; and will the hon. gentleman advise the Admiralty boldly to nationalise the building of like ships in order that this money might be saved and put towards the Old Age Pension Fund? Mr. Markham: Does the Admiralty employ any commercial travellers in the dockyards ? (laughter). Mr. Macnamara asked for notice of Mr. Jenkins’s question. As to the others the representations would have respectful consideration. Mr. Rees: How can the distribution of these con tracts matter if, as the Labour party have con tended, all Admiralty expenditure is unproductive ? (hear, hear, and laughter). Mr. Asquith announced that the House would be prorogued on August 1st. During the next three weeks various financial measures, the Irish Uni versities bill, and other measures will engage the attention of the House. This period will also afford an opportunity for the debate on the Licensing bill. All oither subjects of importance must be held over for discussion during the Autumn Session, which will commence on October 12th. (Continued on page 2.) jl
