the Estimates, which will be laid before Parlament shortly, has been made more difficult this year: by the number of new considera-] tions that have arisen.
The need for economy is still urgent. The international situa- tion has deteriorated. The navia of other Powers have grown, and continue to grow, at a great pace. The consequences of Japaneso policy in denouncing the Washing- tou Treaty have to be taken into account.
There is, too, another considera- tion. Some of the most stringent and on-sided clauses of the Lon- don Treaty with regard to cruiser limitations are now inoperative, since ships approved under the forthcoming Navy Estimates will not be completed before the ex-

OUR BRITISH CROSSWORDS
There is one fact that argues potently for a large cruiser pro- gramme. It is that the end of the Washington and London Treaties will precipitate the replacement of our battle fleet which, by the time of their expiration, will for the most part be overdue-for-replace--1-My-dictionary says it is a pro- ment.
monition, but surely not on the Ilnka..
But it is unlikely that the 1935 programine will provide for the building of more than four crui- sers, though it is possible that this number may be increased to five, since it is improbable that an air- craft carrier will be included.
In flotilla leaders, destroyers, and submarines there is no reason to anticipate any departure from the gradual, but sbiady, polley of replacement which has been pur- sued for a number of years.
