The construction of armoured chips was stabilised by the Wash- ington Treaty, and it has been arrested for a further period of six years under the London Treaty. Should we be any worse off in those three ships, the most costly ever built in this country, had never been built? The day of such ships of enormous powers of offence and defence and enormous cost is over, as the French and Italian Admiralties recognised nearly twenty years ago, and as Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond and naval officers of standing concede. Admiral Sir Richard Webb among others, in agreement with the late Lord Flaher. Admiral Richmond, Recently in command of the Im. perial College of Defence, has. de- clared that "under present cir cumstances I cannot see, that we want more capital ships than Just enough to deal with the compara. tively email capital ships, strength of France and Italy.
