ITALY AND SATA.
The Italian Navy has undergone marked expansion during the Faxrist régime. Five large craisers, twenty-four destroyers, mud twenty submarines are to be completed, in the next six years, and the Beet will eventually contain alatt 2 fighting hits. Both the Russian and German Navies remain vir tually stationary, the latter being rigidly dimensioned by the "Versailles Treaty while on the former a blight appears to have descended. Whether it be that the Svit authorities attach small import- anve to sea power, or that they do not mand the requisite technical re- sources for rebuilding their shuttered fret, the fact remains that the Russian Nury of tulay exists mainly ou paper. Thirty-five vessels are listed as building but there is good reason to believe that few, if any, of them will ever put to sea. Russian naval power has reached its lowest ebb, nor is there any sign of a revival:
OUR MALLER HATTLESHIPS. One of the many interesting points brought out in this White Paper is the relative, smallness of British battlships compared with American and Japanese, The largest British vessels are the five Que Elimbeth, of 27,300 ton, the others ranging from 29.750 tons to 20,000 On the other hal, ten of the American ships displace from 31,100 to 32.600 tons. and there are also six of 25,000 to 27,500) tons.

One of the conclusions suggested by this official view of naval strength is that command of the sea has become localised to an extent that would have been deem
