S. Naval Program le (Cable Service to The Times by Canadian Press) London, Jan, 4--The London weekly paper "Truth" is ironical with a reference to the two torpedo boai destroyers which the Canadain Gov ernment proposes obtaining from Great Britain at an approximate cost of $2,700,000 to take the place of the destroyers Patriot and Patrician and to be delivered within three years, The Truth says: "The Canadian sea going navy, consisting of two cruisers, the Patriot and Patrician, is almost worn out, so Parliament at Ottawa is to be asked to vote money for the building of two more. There is to be no indecorous hurry over the matter, as the new destroyers are to be three years under construc- tion, or about three times as long as 18 necessary for normal construc tion of vessels of this type, How- ever, as they are to be built in this country we must be thankful even for small mercies, The idea of war does not seem to worry the Domin- ion.
