It is already build- ing 230,000 tons of cruisers in prep- aration for the next war. British imperialism proposes spending $1,000,000,000 for naval war arms by 1936. While the an- \tagonisms between all the powers has been growing by leaps and bounds during the past few years, the onset of the sharp world crisis has intensified these rivalries. The specter of war looms larger than ‘ever before between the capitalist powers on the one hand, and against the Soviet Union, on the other. Though the conference has not ended, the critical point has been reached, with all the delegates clearly announcing that big in- creases in all navies are certain. There is shown the complete debacle of the announced purpose of the con- ference and a newed wide-open naval race between the imperialists.
