Canada May
Return Warships
To Britain

i
_ (Special to The Guardian) |
OTTAWA, May \Ll—It is stated |

on semi-official authority that the,
Canadian Government has decided
to ask Great Britain to. take back |
the three war vessels which were!
given to the ‘Dominion shortly af- |
ter the close of the war and whicit
were accepted with thanks by t! e
late Meighen government. The |
vruiser Aurora is of the Arethusa |
type which has been declared ob-
solete by the admiralty and some
of the same: type have been re-
cently dismantled at Southampton.
The government it ts stated locks
upon the vessels as a source of
upnecessary expense in upkeep and
personnel and shares the general
opinion of naval experts that they
would i any caso be useless in time
of war.
