The board’s conclusions follow: “The Navy of the United States should ultimately be equal to the most power- ful maintained by any other nation of the world. It should be gradually increased to this point by such a rate of development year by year, as may be permitted by the facilities of the country, but the limit above defined should be attained not later than 1925."

A navy in firm control of the seas from the outbreak of the war is the prime es- sential to the defense of a country situated as is the United States bor- dering upon two great oceans. A navy strong enough only to defend our coast from actual invasion will not suffice. Defense from invasion is not the only function of the Navy. It must protect our sea-borne com- merce and drive that of the enemyv from the sea. The best way to ac- complish all these objects is to find and defeat the hostile fleet or any of its detachments at a distance from our coast sufficiently great to prevent interruption of our normal course of national life. The current war has shown that a navy of the size recom- mended by this board in previcus years can no longer be considered as adequate to the defensive needs of the United States. Our present Navy is not sufficlent to give due weight to the diplomatic remonstrances of the United States in peace nor to enforce its politics in war.” The report lays stress upon the proposal that seven of the sixteen new ships, four superdreadnaughts and three battle cruisers, be authorized in 1916. Secretary Daniels has recom- mended to Congress, however, that only two dreadnaughts and two battle cruisers be authorized at this time. Under the board's plan the total ex- penditure for the flve vears including $7,000,000 for the aviation service and $11,000,000 for reserve ammunition and material would be $499,876.000, the last apropriations for which would be made in 1922:; the Secretary's recommendations call for a total ex- penditure of $502,482,214, the last appropriations shown being for 1921, and increases being made over the board’s estimates for submarines and reserve ammunition. The board pro- gram contemplates the building of thirteen fleet auxiliaries while the sec- retary recommends only six. Continual Building.

The board reviews the course of the European war so far as it involved naval actions, to reach this conclusion: “As to types of ships, ship is still the principal reliance navies, as it has been in the past.” Because of the great naval su- periority of the entente allies, the report says, their control of the seas has never been seriously challenged and “they have securely held the objective of all naval effort,” Naval warfare has been confined, by reason of this superiority, it states, to ‘a double series of minor incidents.” In the first group it places German commerce raiders “which have finally been destroyed or driven from the seas by systematic pursuit,” and in the second, the activities of Germsan submarines, first against allied war- ships, where the “high score obtain- ed” is asserted to have been due to surprise attack, not to “inherent com- the battle- of batant superiority,” and second, against commercial vessels of the allies. Of this campaign the report says: As to Submarines. “After six months of war the sub- marine form of attack drew renew- ed attention by its direction against hostile commerce. American public attention was redoubled toward this side of the war owing to the human- itarian interests involved, and to the diplomatic questions which were rais- ed thereby. To hastily formed public opinion, it seemed that submarines were accomplishing great military re- sults because little else of importance occurred in the maritime war to at- tract public attention. Yet at the present time, when the allies have learned in great measure how to pro- tect their commerce, as they learned a few months previously to protect their navies from the submarine men- ace, it is apparent that the submarine is not an instrument fitted to domin- ate naval warfare. It appears from British returns that the first eight months of this submarine warfare against British commerce resulted in the loss of 188 merchant vessels and 175 trawlers, The total British mer- chant tonnage lost was not greatly in excess of one-half a million; the total loss under all flags was about 650,000 tons. In the same time the total arrivals and departures in Brit- ish ports averaged from 1,350 to 1,- 400 per week, or nearly 50,000 in all. Allied commerce is continuing under a loss in no way vital. “The submarine is a most useful auxiliary, whose importance will no doubt increase, but at present there is no evidence that it will become su- preme.” The report discusses at length the need and mission of battle cruiser: and other fast ships for scouting work ‘ but warns against an exaggerated val- ue being placed upon the battle crui- sers. It then takes up the question | of personnel and finds that any small- | er force than 27,000 officers, 67,000 bluejackets and 13,400 marines would be inadequate for the navy in 1917 even on a peace footing. The ships then in commission and the shore | stations would need a minimum nt‘ 74,700 bluejackets, it states, in time of war. Turning to the question of conges- ted lower grades which confront navy officers under the present system, the board urges that congress establish the number of officers in any grade on the basis of the total number of officers in the navy and not by pro- viding for a fixed number in each grade except the lower ones. Addi- tional legislation should be sought, it says, to secure a proper flow of pro- motion for all officers or the efficiency of the service generally will suffer. HEAR GROTON (ASE.
