Robinson oi the Royal Navy says: "The contract for the construction of two destroyers the Royal Canadian Navy, referred to in the 'Annual' last year, was awarded to Messrs. John I Lhorny- croft and Co. Ltd, and it was an- nounced in Fleet Orders on Junc 28, 1929, that the Canadian Government had chosen the names of Saguenay and Skeena for these vessels. The destroyers are due for delivery in the spring of 1931, and will embody spe- cial features to make them suitable for special duty in Canadian waters, They will have a tonnage of 1,320, a speed of 35 knots, and a length oi 310 feet, "Commodore Walter Hose, C.B.E, R.C.N., Chief of the Naval Staff of Canada, visited England in connec- tion with the placing of this con- tract, and at a luncheon at which he was entertained by the British Em- pire League, he reviewed the pro- gress of the Canadian Navy. The or- dering of two destroyers he referred as marking a new development in what was perhaps the smallest navy in the Empire. The Canadian Naval Service had passed through many vicissitudes and difficulties since its congeption in March, 1908, when the Canadian Parliament by an unani- mous vote resolyed that Canada should take a greater share in the defence of her maritime interests by the creation of a Canadian Navy. As a result, Canada in 1911 purchased two old cruisers from the British Navy, the Niobe and Rainbow. Two stools or schools of policy arose, and between them the Canadian Navy fell to the ground, but happily there was continued the Naval College, which passed its students on to the] Royal Navy. When the War came, the whole effort of Canada was put into her military contingents; never theless, the Niobe and Rainbow were brought out again, and for 214 years did valuable service in the patrol work carried on by the Royal Navy. "In 1920, it was decided to make a fresh start to form a Canadian Navy. and ships were placed in commission; but in 1921 there was another change due to the reconstruction of national policy, which imposed drastic ccono- my, the estimates being reduced from 2% million to 1%4 million dollars. In conformity with the policy stated by the Canadian Prime Minister at the Imperial Conference in 1926, the per- sonnel of the present Canadian Navy had been transformed from 450 offi- cers and men, borrowed or speciaily engaged from Great Britain, and 50 Canadians; to 40 borrowed ranks and ratings and 670 Canadians, The Royal Canadian Navy Volunteer Re- serve had been organized and was up to its full authorized strength of 1,000 officers and- men. There was also a Royal Canadian Reserve of 200 officers and men,- Commodore Hose concluded his survey by re- marking that the naval training cen- tres at Esquimalt and Halifax were sufficiently equipped to train the per- sonnel of the permanent and reserve forces."

SEER PREDICTS THE CONFERENCE WILL BE FAILURE Japanese Diviner Makes Pes- simistic Prophecy on Naval Parley Tokyo, Feb. ---On behalf of Admiral Takeshi Takarabe, Minis- ter of the Navy and one of Japan's delegates at the London Naval Con- ference, the most famous Divim€r in Japan has been consulted on the outlook for that meeting and es- pecially its Japanese participants and has brought in a forecast drip- | ping with gloom, The sage"s pre- | diction was mailed to the Admiral | in time to reach him soon after the | 20 eZ conference opened, | The diviner is Donsho Takashi- | ma, which, literally translated means "Takashima whose under- | standing encompasses the un! verse."

The powers should have waited until 1931.
