It was the navies of the air| “grappling in the central blue”. that Tennyson saw as making war. so ter- rible that the only answer would be a “parliament of man” and a “feder- ation of the world.” In the hands of Germany the sub- marine has destroyed in one year ap- proximately 7,000,000 tons of shipping reducing the world’s: total by nearly 4,000,000 tons. The submarine has, substituted act- ual destruction of world wealth, such the older war practices of seizure and transfer of such wealth to other and new owners. In the words of the secretary of the navy, “no specific has been discover- ed for*the submarine.” By this is meant no. method has yet been dis- covered to meet directly the attack or to make a counter attack on the sub- marine. Convoys, arming merchant- men, and the construction of new ton- nage are. merely palliatives. They treat the symptons of a complaint whose origin is not removed. The grand fleet, that is the navy of battleships, cruisers and dreadnoughts has been driven to safe refuge be- hind barriers of mines. It remains mostly in harbor. It does not attack enemy harbors, cities or coasts pro- | tected by submarines. The phrophecy of Admiral Sir Per- cy Scott of the British navy that the submarine would put the battle fleets of modern times’on the shelf has been fulfilled. = The United States has not been /moyed ‘to stimulate production of sub- as fod and fabricated materials, for)> from invasion as. the.
