While battleship and cruiser con- struction among major nav, powers proceeds at an unprece- dented peacetime rate, the sinister submarine, used with great effec- tiveness by Germany during the World War, is not being neglected The charts, which in the opinion of British naval authorities under- estimate the figures, indicate that there are 639 submarines built or under construction for the sevei chief navies of the world. According to the charts, compara- tive submarine strength is as fol- lows: In Total Service United States 100 84 Great Britain 0 b2 Japan 62 60 France (28 % Italy 106 86 Germany 61 36 Soviet Russia 148 112 Although the chari would seem to show that Germany is the ap- proximate equal of Great Britain, from the standpoint of tonnage, the Nazi navy is less than 50 percent as strong in its underseas protec- tion.

Great Britain, more dependent on 1"\"3 communication than any other ation, views the increase in sub- ‘marines of the world with consider- |able anxiety.
