OONSERVATIYE LEADER'S GREAT
SI-EECH
'Lay Your Proposals Ile•fore the Peo-
Ple"—Immediate and Effective Aid
is Demanded
The feature of the debate oe the first
sending of tee Cote-rot:stent Naval Ste -
mice Bill was Mr. R. L. llordee's great
speech. Sir Wilfrid Laurier Introduced
the Pill, that duty having beer, Imposed
upon hire somewhat unexpectedly by
t: a fudge:: I1 ' €88 of Mr. I3rodeur. The
Premier gave the merest outline of the
policy of the Governrnerit, his speech
corlslning hotting hi the way ot ex-
iposition or defence of his plan. The
programme to which the Government has
romntltted itself is this, -
1. It will procure eleven ships, tion
of thern large as warships go. bu
aU of them of the most ezpenA:ve o
their sort. Four of them will be fan
• cruisers of about 4,800 tons displa
meat, of a type commonly known a
the "Bristol", that being the name p
the first ship of this class to be deaig
ed for the British navy. One will
a smaller fast cruiser, of about 930
tons of the "Boadicea" type. Six wil
be what are railed "torpedo boat des
troyers", of what to ealled the Improve
"river"class ; a torpedo boat deetroye
is a very fast vessel designed to fight
with torpedoes and given a very light
armen:ent of guns: a large number of
these vessels roc; ntly built for the Brit-
tah navy have been named after the
rivers in the Britise Isles. and so are
called the "river" class. If we were to
buy these ships In England they would
cost about $11,00n.000 ; if we build
then! in Canada the cost will be at
least $15,000,000, and in addition no
one can tell when they will be ready,
for before we tan build the ehipe we
must c metruc t and equip the dockyards
s
and that will be an enormouand ted-
ious labor. Thus dll that we are euro
about In these ships is that they will
cost a let of money, and we don't know
when we eha'l get theta.
2. There 1s to be a naval force. i art
of it is to be a Permanent Force. t'ar't
is to be a Volunteer Force. Service In
PermanentthPermanent Force Is to be for three
years. The officers for it are to be
trained in the naval college. Now, in
the Royal Navy the term of service is
such longer, and British naval officers
hold that it takes six years to imake a
se'i'.man gunner of the efficiency de-
manded in the /kebob Navy. Thur our
term, of service are to be different from
these of the British navy; they are to
be shorter than those whichthe British
navy finds necessary ; and our offieere
are to be kept .!part from the Matfettnaval office!e. it is provided that if
war breaks out the Canadian Government may if it choo'tcs turn our naval
.erticc over to the Admiralty for gee-
er.tl service tot:.e British Navy. If it
does so it trust sunniest: i'arliantent.If
that body is prorogued, within fifteen
days. 1f it docs trot feel like helping
the Mother Country it need not and if
it refuses aid to Great Britain it is un-
der no obligation to summon ParliamentThe fact that the terms of ecrvice are
eo unlike those of the Royal Navy will
greetly lessen the value of the Qtnadian
naval service if handed over to the Ad-
miralty. If we had officers trained under
the name traditions as British officers
and nen enlisted on the same terms a:.,1
tined in the sante manner, the fleets
would be interchangeable.
nut the Government refuses to do that,
so that our ehipe if tuned over will
be of the least possible service. le my
