The Toronto correspondent of the Times said in a message

published on Wednesday that in conjunction with the emergency contribution of Dreadnoughts to the Imperial Navy the Laurier Naval Act will probably be repealed. The Naval College at Halifax, however, will be maintained and developed. The emergency contribution will be voted in the coming session, but the permanent policy will require further consultation with the Admiralty. The final programme will be submitted to the country at a general election after redis- tribution has been effected.
