There is a good deal of food for thought in the statement made by Mr. Hugh Gibson that when the Washington Agreement expires in 1833,America may adhvider necessary, for technical reasons, to build bigger battleships than 35,000 What technical reasonat tona." The obvious answer is that such an increase in fighting power, will be sought as to render it impossible to compress all the, aggressive and defensive features into a displace ment of 35,000 tons. As we must assume that Mr. Hugh Gibson had very good grounds for making this statement we
can only conclude that the United States aaval au thorities are thinking in terms of very distinct rivalry against the time when they will be free to ex pand capital ship tonnage as they For it is only the may choose. spirit of rivalry which can justify any decision to "go que better" than any other Power. True, this has been a governing principle in naval construction for untold years. But it only became accen- tuated with the progress of mechanical development. The in- evitable result was
to carry the competition to a stage, when the tacticians cried "halt wonder- ing" where the materialists would ultimately land them if the insen- sate competition were not checked.
