Washington, Nov. 28.
The Navy Department announces that the heavy cost of the manceuvres off Hawaii and the subsequent cruise of the Fleet to Australasia, together with other considerations, of economy, preclude the possibility of extensive naval manceuvres in 1928 and the proposed operations off the west coast of South America have been abandoned. It is intended to carry out extensive manceuvres in 1927, with the Army taking part. They will probably be held off the coast of the United States with view to testing the defences of Service.
