These professors are direct- ly employed by the provincial gov- ernment and their salaries are pro- vided for in the annual estimates. An agitation for increased remuneration was commenced by the professors a year ago, but the government post- poned taking action from time to time, until the professors, shortly after the summer vacation, laid down their tools and went on strike, As the result of the intervention of an intermediary, the professors agreed . to return to their duties-oa the un- ~ derstanding that = their demands should be granted in full at the end ot October. This was not realized and the professors continued at work until the Christmas vacation, being led to understand that their increases would be granted and arrears paid in January. The monthly cheques were received, however, without the addi- tion alleged to be promised, and so the professors decided to give the government final notice that unless .their demands were acceded to they would walk out on strike again.

His interview in part follows: "There aré now but three nations tht can be considered as naval powers--Great Britain, the United States and Japan, in the order named. We have now more than double the naval strength of Japan. Consequently, so far as that coun- try is com€erned, Tere is no urgent need for® great naval expansion. This narrows the contest to the. United States and Great Britain. Great Britain's vulnerable point is Canada.
