This is due to the progress made in aviation, to the cireumstance that within the last few years the mass production of aero- planes has commenced and also to the attention which has been devoted of the future”.

Diving- suits might possibly serve as protec- tion against gases of this kind, and! consideration is being given to the! issuing of diving-suits for artillery- men during the next world slaughter, Such protection is, however, unsuit- able inasmuch as it would greatly hamper the mobility of the troops ‘to aviation by the “military science #”d diminish their fighting capacity. | | Anything for Profits.

The Washington agreement of '1922 by no means put an end to, nor) leven “curtailed”, but only regulated, | the construction of dreadnoughts. In! addition, the agreement applied merely to battleships and aircraft carriers. The construction of cruisers, destroy- ers and submarines was not limited }and has, in fact, developed greatly since 1922. The present tonnage of the battleships of the United States of North America aggregates 525,850 | tons, of Great Britain 680,450; Japan 801,320; France 194,554; Italy 133,- £70. Race for Aircraft. As far as the building of aircraft carriers is concerned, it must: be stated that Washington “curtailed” their construction in such a manner |that the Powers will have to “work” very hard in order to reach the so- called “norm” prescribed.

It is not for noth- ing that the imperialists are creating | ing these tremendous land forces; ‘it is not for nothing that they are doing everything to perfect long-range ar- tillery with the utmost power of de- struction, But still there can be no doubt that the tendency of modern science of war is to make the war of the future a gas war.
