TH!‘ tlfir Budget Tlioq miinland newspapers which have from yin... y.» 6mg been complimenting the Campbell i_,..r,-t1i>v~|tl tivviu its alleged prudence in ex- penditures, must have got a rude shock when tltcy learned of its $54,000 deficit on last ycfifl opera mus, and its anticipated deficit of $241.00? fwf‘ the currcitl yvar. In reviewing last years adynipdslflllltfill and submitting his budget for the Ctirfcllt year, Premier Campbell made i}! able and plzuisible speech. In a icntflflCfi l"! w-ltiiie stibtuission and argument could be sum- iriul up in this one sentence and question’: —- “We arc facctl with the proposition of ‘beep- z? i, Up With the Jones’, and ivhat are you going to do abort: it?"

The disappearance of the Ger- man battleship Scliaruhorst after being attack- ed by the British battle cruiser Rciioivti has led to the speculation that she may have taken re- fuge in Murmansk, on Russia's Arctic seaboard. In the fighting around Narvik Germany's losses were "t0tulitari:tn”, and lhc flllill official rccltou- iiig will doubtless show the iiaiiics of some ships not included in this tabtil:ition,—\vhicli, it is to be observed, is concerned only with actual “men- of-ivar,” not transports or other supply vessels which have been sunk. The uct rvsult, in any case, i5 that the ticrinnu flcct can no longer be regarded as an effective arm of irarfare. Although nearly all the naval fighting has been done by Great Britain, the war fleet of France must be regarded as a reserve factor of prime importance. (Qiirniiig the same authority, -—-the London Daily lr-lcginiplrs naval expert,- France has lost so far only one cruiser, out 0f s feet which, at the beginning of the war, con- sisted of 7 battleships, one aircraft carrier, 7 heavy and t2 other cruisers, 59 destroyers, 78 submarines, and i2 seagoing fflrpeflfi boats. France also had the follow-lug construction pro- gramme rapidly nearing completion when the war started: 3 battleships; 2 aircraft carriers, of which one has probably been launched; 3 heavy cruisers, of which one should soon be in commission; 4 other cruisers, of which 3 are al- most completed; I7 destroyers; 3o submarines; 12 seagoing torpedo boats and i2 motor torpedo boats. Germany, it will be seen by reference to the table above, is concentrating on submarines. a EDITORIAL NOTES -. H.R.H. the Princess Royal, Countess of Hare- wood born this date, 1897. a 1 I!
