TINGS, statesmen, und military leaders of the world take their eyes from the skies for a moment and look down to the seas.

Hier nunches the Bismarck. Hiller digs deeper the Kiel Canai. Hitler's Press boasts of Nazi Germany talking her place among the great

sea Powers.

In London our naval chiefs call at No. 10, Downing-street to talk with the Prime Minister. And more navn news breaks as £8,000,000 worth of steel, skill, thought, and labour slide from the slipway into the dark waters at Birken- head

Yesterday the Princess Royal launched the silver-grey hull of the Prince of Wales, second battleship built for the Royal Navy under the new programme.

When it was given out not so long ago in a semi-oficial Gennan naval handbook that she would mint her guns in groups of four, and other details, there was a hubbub in the House of Commons.

Members wanted to know why the Germans could print "secrets" when information was kept from the people of this country.

As usual, there was not much information coming from the Admiralty, for the gentlemen there, no doubt rightly, are never eloquent. A very silent Service.

WELL, what do we know about this new giant of the seas? The one certain thing you can say about her is that she is of 35,000 tons, and when you have said that you must rely For further information on the speculation of naval experts.

Now us for her guns. Probably she will have ten or twelve 14in. guns arranged in groups of four. Don't Bsten to the foolish who want to know why she hasn't got 16in. guns. Size is not the essence of strength.

She will carry Gin. guns, too.

What excites the naval man is the nature of the now battleship's anti-aircraft weapons, and They are the big secret.

The Prince of Wales is well protected by a recently discovered armour-plating, able to resist, It is argued, the new type of shell which travels mile after penetrating normal armour-plating. That's the sort of shell, weighing 1,500lb., the battleship herself will fire.

Hidden

away In the transs of steel that makes her are hangars for plades to be catapulted from her decks for directing gunfire.

Then the guess is that the Prince of Wales is designed for trimming down when she is going into action which means flooding the water ballust tanks sink the ship deeper for the protec- tion of her sides, and to show a smailer target to the enemy.

Most vital secret of the Prince of Wales will be her speed. You may take it she is likely to be capable of considerably more than the 30 knots oflletally given out as her muximum.

TOW across the North Sea there is the machine-gun-like tattoo of riveters, the clang of hammers, na two German battleships are being got ready to join the Bismarck.

At Kiel the Germans are doubling the width of the Canal, increasing the height of the bridges, to take the big ships.

The United States prepares to fortify new bases in the Pacific.

So it is throughout the world, digging in the harbours, building in the shipyards. Building. building, building,

The world knows what every country is doing, except Japan. From there come rumours of new fortifenitions, bigger-than-ever, capital ships.

Look there for the big question mark in the world's naval activity.
