Other nations, clamoring for supremacy and ambitious for power. hzve inaugurated similar programs, until this nation. confronted with a delicate situation in the Pacific has been forced to look to its own defenses. An idea of how the nations line up in naval strength and their present plans can be gleaned from a'recent article by Hanson Baldwin in the New York Times. Pointing out tk struction year, Mr. B dwin writes In this great and quickening race for sea supremacy Great Britain holds a clear, and apparently, an inc sing lead. Britain has scme eight) ships, totaling more than 500.000 tons, actually on the ways today, five of them 35,000-ton battleships. She has sev- eral thousand more tons of fighting ships ap- propriated for and her shipyards are proba- bly turning out men-of-war at a far faster rate than those of any other nation. Her re- armament program been concentrated primarily in the navy, secondarily in the air force, and her shipbuilding program is re- markable for its speed The United States, second to Great Britain in total tonnage, has two battleships, two carriers and some sixty-seven other fighting ships building, but many of the lighter ships are intended as replacements for obsolescent vessels, and our entire shipbuilding program has been materially delayed by technicai and administrative difficulties, price-fixing pro- visions and labor difficulties. However, we still retain our lead in naval aviation, although it it being cut down by the intensive efforts of other powers. Japan still ranks third in totals, but her construction program has been surro ed with so much secrecy that little authoniative $6.00 weather.

May cory of adequate defense ich many bel is inevitable This, says one our friends, is sneczir say we, as we cheer for Japan and Our Fish ppear again in the report from Wash gton that the Tokyo government has offered sub- tantial concessions in the dispute over Alaska fisheries, It wil be good news, indeed. if fishery resources otected from ruthless exploitation, and smoldering ill-feeling be- tween our fishermen and those of Japan, in northern waters, can be eased before it results in a clash There can be no satisfactory settlement that does not prevent aliens from taking fish, spawned in our streams, from our own water: There is every indication that the subject of alien fisheries operations, along our entire Pacific Coast. recently has been given the most intensive study by various departments of the government. From the most distant islands in the Aleutian chain to the southern border of California, aliens, largely Japanese, have been fishing off our shores. It is generally believed that many of the Japanese fishermen are naval reserve officers or have other connections with their government. or is their knowledge necessarily confined to our waters and coas San Pedro, Calif., is a base for many fishing boats . in the adjacent outer harbor the warships of the United States battle fleet lie at anchor most of the year, If there is any spot in the United States which deserves adequate safeguards against espionage it is this. Under the Washington agreement for limitation of naval armaments the contracting nations made thern Italy; 3858 feet high. public their naval building programs. The United States and those nations participating in the later London agreement continue this practice, but Japan which recently denounced the Washington treaty, is no loue<r bound It would be unfortunate indeed if our secrets of naval design should become known to nations which refuse official information as to even the broad ou(-‘ lines of their own armaments. The steps already taken by naval authorities m guard against espionage, and the action by civil de- | partments against a Scuthern California fishing ves sel allegedly owned by alien Japanese indicate that | our government recognizes all angles of the problem. The nation owes a vote of thanks to the men in menace of Japanese invasion of our fisheries. And as to the Federal officers, who appear to be painstaking in° following the leads that have been | uncovered, America can say: “More power to you!” | ine. For the inner harbor at!
