THE CHALLENGE IN THE PACIFIC. AN AGREEMENT OR COMPETITIVE BUILDING,
The country is faced with a naval situation which, in its intricacies, prob- ably surpasses any other in its history, writes a naval correspondent in the Loudon Morning' Post.
Emerging triumphant from the late war with a Navy, calculated by the number. of ships, far superior to that of any other nation, the lapse of two years has brought about conditions which may

in 1928.
In his report to Congress on the Navy, the other day, Secretary Daniels, quoting President Wilson, said: There is no other navy in the world that has to cover so great an area of defence as the Ame rican Navy, and it ought, in my judgment, to be incomparably the most adequato navy in the world." It is significant that the words area of defence" should have been used. The United States not being an island power nor dependent on over- teas supplies, these words can have only one meaning and can refer to only one locality-the Pacific. The naval pendulum has swung from the North Sea to the Pacific.

The Pacific is a vast expanse of water.

Being dependent also on China, Borneo, and India for 'supplies of iron, oil, and cotton, security of communications is of great moment to Japan. -
The United States is, on the other band, practically independent of outside aid as regards supplies, but with the ex ception of one island in the West Indies, the whole of her territorial possessions are situated in the Pacific, being in the majority of cases separated by great dis tances from the mother country.

The result of this situation can be briefy: summarised as follows: Japan is ao developing her defensive system as to render secure all the strategio keys to the Sea of Japan, thus guaranteeing her com- munications with China. Besides ârst- class naval bases in Japan itself, she has established advanced ones at the Pesca- dores and Bonin Islands. Her main lines of communications, excepting those with China and Korea, run eastwards. Alto- gether her defensive situation is a par ticularly strong one

The same applies to Honolulu, Manila, and Guam; the former being the strategic key, to the Pacific. Docks, capable of taking ships up to a length of one thousand feet are in existence at San Francisco, Honolulu, and Balbao at the Pacific end of the Panama Canal. The Canal itself institutes a strategic factor of the highest import ance, playing a similar role to that re cently held by the Kiel Canal. In fact, a situation comparable with that which recently existed in the North Sea is rapidly developing in the Pacific, but with... this difference--enormous; distances.
