Japan Places Smoke-Screen Over Activity

·

Japan, which is not a signatory of the London Naval Treaty of 1936, does not agree with the principle enunci- ated in Part III of the Treaty whereby, to prevent com- petitive building, the Naval Powers were required to ex- change advance information of their naval programmes, particularly in regard to the numbers, tonnage, arma- ment, and speed of future ships.

Indeed, a complete smoke-screen

In the meantime, America's two new battleships, one of which has just been laid down and the other is to be started early in the new year, are to be vessels of 35,000 tons each armed with nine 16-inch guns, the same armament as the Nelson and Rodney:

ADMIRALTY DECISION Anticipating general agreement to the 35,000-ton 14-inch gun limits sug-| rested in the London Naval Treaty, the Admiralty decided that the five new British battleships now under construction, the King George V.. Prince of Wales, Anson, Jellicoe, and Bently, are to mount 14-Inch guns.

It seems probable that three new battleships will be sanc- tloned In the Navy Estimates due to be presented next March, and others in 1930.

GUN CALIBRE PROBLEM The matter of the maximum gun calibre is most important, since in- creased gun calibre, with the extra weight of weapons, machinery, mountings, and ammunition, usually means increase in the size of the ship. Indeed, it may be impossible to con- struct a 35,000-ton "balanced" batile- ship carrying nine 10-Inch guns, which combines all the necessary at- tributes of speed. fuel, protection, anti-aircraft armament and the like.

Japan's secrecy and her insistence upon the 16-inch gun may therefore bring this weapon into general use and create a consequent demand for

In connection with this decision it must also be remembered that plans for future construction are prepared a long time in advance. The de- signs of a new battleship take at least a year to complete, and the main armament must be decided upon and the plant for constructing It assem- bled.
