A despatch from London says:—
Announcement that Admiral Jellicoe

subject of free discussion in the Lon-
don press, many papers having art-

naval activities by the Dominions

to the adoption of a policy. It notes
the prompt attitude with which the
Dominions placed their' naval resour-
ces nt the disposal of the Empire,
but adds, `=that should not obliterate
the fact that the prohlam- of the . Do-
