now Navy has been urged. In fact, some quarter of a century ago Sir Robert Hart recommended to the Chinese Government the creation of three squadrons, Northern Southern and Central, each roplets with battleships, cruisers | destroyers - "and" torpedo-boats. His scheme was, however, pigeon- holod, like so many other of those days and since:
In the meantime, great strides have been made in naval develop- ment in all parts of the world, and China will now be in a position to benefit from the experience of other nations. Incidentally, aviation has come to play a big part in naval activity, and in this respect we havo no doubt that China will keep well to the fore with seaplanes, for which there should eventually be no lack of trained officers. Although China auffered a heavy reverse in her war with Japan," It. has been acknowledged on all hands, that the personnel of her Navy acquitted itself with bravery and tenn- city, in a contest fought against overwhelming odds. That is not to be wondered at, for the men of the maritime provinces are of a healthy and robust type, with much knowledge of the son. We only need to think of the thousands of Chinese seamen serving in merchant ehips to realise that in men of this type China has the nucleus of a fine naval personnel. Alded by the skilled and friendly advice of Bri- tain, it will be possible to build up a Navy which should be a credit to the nation. Its functions will obviously be those of dc- fence, not aggression.
