ADMIRAL BEATTY TALKS LIKE OLD STAGE-COACH DRIVER

LONDON, May 8,

Admiral Beatty speaking at Glasgow said sea power to-day was as essential to the security and prosperity of the empire as ever it was. The fleet in commission represented the minimum compatible with superiority and supremacy of the seas. Critics said we must have ships which could disappear under the surface one minute and be lost in the clouds the next. He dared say those critics were right but the time for such ships was not yet. He disagreed with the satement that the day of the capital ship had passed. The capital ship was still the unit upon which the seapower of the empire was built and nothing had been devised by the critics, outside a few windy paragraphs in the newspapers, to take the place of capital ships. The navy must continue to be the connecting link between the mother-country and her qverseas dominions..
