The battleship will be about the same type as the Tuso and Yamasriro, which was recently launched, and will carry twelve 14- inch guns and sixteen 6-inch guns. The two ecruisers will have a speed of 28 knots. They will probably | be in the nature of light scout ships. Their armament has not yet been dc- cided. The submarines will have a | displacement of seven hundred tons each, a speed of 18 knots on the sur- face and 10 knots in the water and will carry one gun. Admiral Kato expressed the opin- jon that the war in BEurope would not ! necesistate any considerable alteration | in the naval armament of the great powers. He fully recognized. he sai-l. | the effectiveness of aircraft and suh- marines as weapons of offence as de onstrated in the present war but these facts hardly af- fected the position of the battleship as an engine of war. If the Kaiser's warships dared not venture from their own sheltered waters it was because of the powerful British squadrons awaiting them outside. The absence of any great naval engagement in Europe must be ascribed to the ver great difference between the RBritist As for subma- rines, however, actively they -might work their activities were confined within certain limits and they could hardly be expected to place the great battleships hors de combat.

The admiral further said that in de- ciding the armaments for new battle- ships the naval authorities preferred the twelve 14-inch guns principle to the eight 15-inch of the Britisn and German navies because they deemea the former more advantageous than the latter from the viewpoint of naval tactics. Furthermore the authorities believed that there would occur nu change in the shape and size of war- ships and naval guns in the near fu- ture. The minister's remarks brought out the fact that Japan’s eventual pro- gram includes the establishment of a first line fleet of eight battleships and eight great battle cru Admiral Kato was larly by K. Kobayashi, a member of the committee, as to the comparative strength of the Japanese navy and those of Great Britain, Germany and the Unitea States. The member also wanted to know whether the naval authorities were confident of victory in case of war—for instance, in case of war with the United States. He asked what plan the navy had in case the United States attacked Japan with Her naval strength twice that of the Japanese navy. To this Admiral Kato replied that figures do not al- ways decide the issue of a battle. He is quoted as having added. “If the American navy invades Japan we have only to encounter it with the best tactics and art of warfare, to the :ast vessel and last man, meanwhile relying on the dignity of the august Emperor and the strong support of a sixty millions nation.
