PRESSING ON WITH
NAVAL REARMAMENT
1938 PROGRAMME AS THIS YEAR'S
BIG ÄS
Large as was the 1937 programme of naval rearmament, it will probably be equalled by that for 1938, writes the "Daily Telegraph" Naval Correspondent,
In well-informed circles three to five further battleships are... anticipated, together with six or seven cruisers and' a proportionate quota of destroyers, subunarines and smaller craft.
Provision may also be made for another large increase in per- sonnel, the ultimate total of which is understood to be at least 125,000.
Apart from the necessity of pro- viding officers and men for the many new ships building and pro- jected, the Admiralty has to take into account the enormous expaT- slon of the Fleet Air Arm, for the manning of which it is henceforth to be solely responsible.
