JAPAN'S NAVAL POLICY:/

THE MASTERY OF THE PACIFIC... An article by the Japanese writer, Mr. Satori Kato; entitled, The Mastery of the Pacific," in which he describes very definitely Japan's naval policy, is oue of the leading features in The Navy League Annual published last month. Mr. Kato opens with a reference to gunnery practice, and says that the Japanese have proved that soientido gunery in the hands of calm, cautious, yet alert meu cannot be in Acourate. The gun need- never miss the ball's eye; it is the man who errs. The article proceeds: A Japanese naval captain on active service estimates the chiaf fighting units of warships belonging to various Powers as follows:-

1909. 1916, 1920. 81 78 74 .32 40... 37

28

40 Fnited States 37... 38...

...26 Sinco the above Agures were computed the altered British naval policy apparently adheres. to the unyielding position of her hi torical supremacy. But he (the Japanver officer) Karmisos that Oreat Britain may, should aacessity arise, despatch forty warships to the Far Eastern waters in 1916, and 37 in 1920; Germany, 10 in 1916, and 37 in 1920, France,

It cannot be therefore an exag- geration if we say that the naval funda possess three times their monetary value in Japan as compared to identical amounts voted in other countries. That is to say, a grant of four millions corresponds to twelve millions. economical is the disbursement of money for constructive purposes that the Japanese Govern mont may well be congratulated upon their achievement in building a battleship at one-third the morey previously found necessary for the purpose.

It is commonly reported that there are nine submarines in the Japanese service, bat in a very short time ordinary torpedo-boats will ba superseded by submarines designed and built in Japan.
