CHURCHILL WARNS ON NAVAL
Newest
Warships "May Be Inferior"
(Hy WILLIAM BARKLEY)
His run by Great Britain, the first naval Power in the world, In making International agreements on ifmila- tion of naval strength, were stresu- ously emphasised by Mr. Winston Churchill in the House of Commons last month.
He supported, on general grounds, the London Naval Treaty between Britain, U.S. and France, which Ger- many and Russia joined Inst Satur- day, but he argued that it is never to
Britain's advantage, to make treaties which hamper our freedom to design the ships we need.
the
Mr. Churchill fastened point that Drkain, the United States, Germany and Prance were all agreed that the maximum Kur in any of
their navies should be the 11-inch. When Japan refined to be a party to the agreement, the United States; announced that they a must have! power to build a 16-inch gun into) their stilps.
To his intrul that meant that the foreign Powers want to arm their ships with 18-inch gas breate int assinsed at America know, what! Japon is doing..
He emphasised that the five pee battleships which we ate now Ludel- ing, two laid down last year and three this year, have 14-inch guns as their biggest contion.
"A REPROACH"
"These battleships will," he said, ! "be magnificent ships. Under this agireraent un new buttleship van be built above 35,000 tons. So far the Admiralty have taken the view that it is impossible to built 16-inch guns

"It will be something of proach to the Royal Navy that our Avo new batileships, built at a cost of £45,000,000 to be the basis of our sea power for twenty-five years ahead, are definitely inferior to the contemporary vessels which in war they would have to meet."
Mr. Churchill, who knows navad matters from beginulag to end, there- | fore urged Mr. Duff Cooper, the First Lord, to make alternative designs for | the battleships.
He pleaded with him at least to make one experimental gun-mount- ing for a sixteen-inch nun so that if Foreign designers surrended where we failed the British Navy could swiftly alter the gun equipment of the new battleships from fourteen- inch to sixteen-lich.,
