Protest Against Reduction
of Naval Strength
Protesting against any proposal to
reduce the sea-going strength of the
Australian Navy below its present
limit, a letter has been sent to the
Prime Minister cMr. Scullin) by the
president of the Navy League (Sir
Edward Lucas).
"My commirtee holds the view." the
letter states, "that important savings
can be made in the cost of naval ad- !
ministration, which last year amounted
to £80.537. that the defensive strength
of the navy has already been reduced
to a minimum, and that further re
duction would not only engender a
; sense of insecurity among our people.
I but also prove a source of danger to j
the nation,"
