He repeats a doctrine widely held in this country that Can- ada should have a navy of her own and controlled by herself. . .He reminds our people that ({t takes three years to build a cruiser; tnat it takes three times three years to train her personnel. What he says in this regard is an intimation that a policy of naval defence, on ade- qate lines, should now be in the making. In all he says there is not one word about which anyone can take offence. It is common sense and logical advice, if it may be called such. In a way, perhaps, it is mot advice at all. Sir Frederick has simply pointed to the. facts of the situation and in the light of them he asks Canadians if they feel safe.
