Admiral's View Admiral Chan Chak feels however, that the plan should not be given up. No Chinese warship has been seen abroad for many years, he says, and the time has come to send naval units OR A long-distance cruise for, apart from the fact that the flag ought to be shown in ports where large num

The naval people feel that steps should be taken to reorganise the Chlaese navy and that new units should be built to replace the antiquated vessels at pre- sent owned by the country. In Can ton for example, with the excention of the gunboats recently built at Hong Kong, and of one or two of the larg er-aized gunboats, most of the vessels are "overgrown steam-launches," that is to say just a bit larger than the average steam-tug, with masts affix-to ed to give them a naval aspect. All of them are old vessels and hardly in la condition to put to HR.

Training the Personnel

New vessels could be order- ed eventually to replace the present unserviceable ships and in course of time China ought to be the posses- sor of a Navy commensurate with the great length of her coast. In short, thinks Admiral Chan Chak, the pro- posed,scheme to show the flag in the Philippines and the Straite is a most; appropriate one.

The Admiral also seems to think that the Chinese overseas could in this way be persuaded to contribute money MASTERS AND MATES for the building of now gunboats so much beeded by their mother country.
