SOVIET'S INTENTION TO BUILD "MONSTER"
BATTLESHIPS...
London, Nov. 27. The alleged intention of the Soviet to transfer its Baltic Fleet from Kronstadt to the new naval base at Polgarne, on the Murman coast, is arousing much interest In the Scandinavian countries, де- cording to a despatch from its Stockholm correspondent to the "Dally Herald.”
||
It is stated, says the despatch, that any such action on the part of the Soviet would necessitate entire revision of naval strategy relative to the Baltic Sea.
Danish naval circles are inclined to credit the Soviet with such in- tention, and are considering what effect it would have upon Danish naval policy.
Reports are appearing in the Danish press to the effect that thousands of Russian workers have been enlisted for the gigantic task of converting the ice-free port of Polfarno into the chief naval base of the Soviet.
Plans, it is sald. include con- struction of large dockyards and
entire chain of air-fleids along the Murman coast.
The Dally Herald" also speaks of the Soviet's intention to build "monster" battleships. Transocean,
