Closing of Navy Yard

Interesting Proceeding. a
The closing of the Esquimalt navy yard by the Dominion

Government may mean the saving of expense or it may mean
the opening of another navy yard in a strategic position. Ksqui-
malt has been a navy yard since the beginning of white settlement
in British Columbia and an immense amount of money has been

substantial character.

be scrapped.

Curious Action
Regarding Defences.

The navy yard was turned over years ago to the Dominion
at the time when the Laurier Government was in power, It was
kept running and an attempt was made to form there a base for
a Canadian navy. Contracts were let for war ships and the Niobe
and Rainbow were purchased from the British to train men in
readiness for the completion of the more modern vessels. The
Rainbow came to Esquimalt and the Niobe to Halifax. The mest
prominent speaker at the official welcome given the Rainbow was
Sir Richard McBride, who expressed pleasure at the attempt to
establish W Canadian navy.

Soon after that the Laurier Government was defeated and
the navy was dropped, the Esquimalt yard closed and the Rainbow
put out of commission, the policy of the Borden Government being
to make a donation to the Imperial Government instead of having
a local institution.

At the time of the close down the Esquimalt forts were also
closed and the two big guns which were just ready for mounting
at Signal Hill were lying in the yard at the base of the hill. - ‘There
they lay for years although the excavation and cement work
ready for mounting, which had taken years to complete, was
now all ready. When war broke out there was still delay in
mounting the guns, but when eventually the authorities at Ottawa
recognized that there was need for this, a part of the breech
of one of the guns was missing and it was many months before
the gun was ready for use. This was at the time when enemy
ships were hovering in the offing.

Curious Action
Of Authorities.

Another curious action of the authorities in connection with
naval matters was that during the time when the yard at Esqui-
malt was closed a guard was always set at the gate and no
citizens of the place were allowed to carry a camera inside or
io go near the forts. A German ship visited Esquimalt, however,
and the officers were taken around and shown the forts and
the young officers handled the mechanism of the guns and were
fully informed of the obsolete character of the defences and of
the poor little four-inch guns that were mounted there.

New Navy Yard
Very Expensive.

The establishment of a new navy yard would be a very
expensive affair, especially at a time when the finances of the
country are in a bad way. If it is necessary, we must have it,
but the people who are already being heavily taxed and whose
taxes will have to be still further increased to pay for the wilful
waste and profiteering in connection with purchase of war sup-
plies, will be very careful about sanctioning any further large
expenditures. The navy is undoubtedly important, but the Borden
Government has not yet done anything but shut down, Possibly
a constructive proposal will be made in time for the coming
election.
