THE CASE. FOR BIG SHIPS. KERNEL AND PIVOP OF NAVAL
POWER."
In the course of half an hour on August. 3rd, Colonel Amory contrived to make a very clear statement of British naval policy.
che
Colonel Amary announced to the House the recent decision of the Imperial Cabinet on the Naval problem. It turned out to be of a mark tima, order The Dominion Premiers
that the thought. minimum British standard of naval. power should be at least equal to that of
strongest single Power, but the mat ter was one for their Parliament to decide, and these should, wait and ser what took place at the Disarmament Con- ference. As for the Naval policy of the Home Government, it is not one of com- patition or of challenge, but simply one of replacing obsolete ships." The whole Grand Fear We have only one post- is obsolete, or at least all the capital Juland capital ship, the Hood, but the to have the new four kape Comaty

They will not require docks Of 49 incremed size..
They will be protected sainst torpedo attack by the new bulges below water. Leat any members might think that these four capital ships, on which nearly two millions will be spent this year, are a challenge to the other naval Powers, Colonel Amery reminded the House that:
Japan
will have. eight similar ships by 1028 and she has voted eight more to be completed by 1928.
America. in addition to four ships of 32,000 tons, will have twelve more finished by 1925, räch of 12.000 tons dis placement.
Colonel Amery, therefore, justly insist- ed that the British Admiralty could not possibly afford to run any greater risks than those which they are now incurring. and even these risks, he said, were only | justified by the general financial situation and the eager desire of the British Gov- ernrdent to avoid entering into anything, like a competition of armaments.
THE COST OF BATTLESHIPS, Colonel Amery did not go deeply into the question of cost. But Mr. Asquith and Admiral Sueter did. The Hooil has cost six millions, and as the new ships are to be improved Hoods. Mr. Asquith esti mated that there will be little change out of thirty millions for the lour. Admiral Sueter foreshadowed four more next year, and so on till sixteen were completed, vis Shanghai costing one hundred millions; and he suggested another hundred millions for Bouting,
docks and all the necessary ancil lary ships and other expenses. Both, therefore, fought shy of the Government's programme. Mr. Asquith was careful not to commit himself against the capital shin as such: Admiral Sueter, the other hand, seemed to do so, because be believes that the submarine and the nere. plane have immensely restricted its rôle declared that the capital ship still re in future

Mr. Asquith said they were not necessary; The invasion bogey, he said, had been laid the war; and even if the United States by was building capital, ships, that was no reason why we should.
