April 12.—Admiral Sir Percy Seott, commander of the aerial defense of London in the world war, has no use for battleships. He be- lieves the British navy would be bet- ter off if it spent the 40,000,000 pounds intended for battleship con- struction in research and providing newer weapons of warfare. “The late war,” Sir Perey said, “showed that the only safe policy as regards battleships was to stow them away as far as possible from the en- emy. If we go to war now with France I do not think our battleshi will be safe unless we constru bor to contain them in lcel#m “Personally,” continved rey, in & newspaper interview, “I am fully in accord with Rear Admiral Adair told the house of commons that if wa bullt new battleships we shoula also have to provide mew bases av great cost at Halifax, Bermuda' and Jamaica, on the West Coast of Can- ada, In New Guinea, and at Singa- pore. [ say this nation,. with the in- come tax at six shillings on the pound, cannot aford 'this huge expenditure, when he said that we ought not to spend one penny omn battleships, but whatever money we may have to spare ahould be laid out on research work. Rear- Armiral Adair told the House of Commons that it golng to do with these battleships when we get them. “In the first fow hours of the next war Plymouth, Dover and even Lon- don, may be reduced to ashes unless wo ara prepared with aa adequate counter to the fleets of airplames that would attack us. It seems to me, therefore, nothing but plain common sonse that we should spend, what only we can spare, not on battleships that are ‘no d——d good' as the midship- man said, but in providing the very best we can buy of the newer weap- ons that will coun® in the war of the future.” Speaking of the latest develop- ments in death dealing instruments, Bir Perey explained the principles of the new Davis gun, which fires both ends and with which he said all Ameriean airplanes were to be armed. It would be possible for an airplane to carry a 12-inch gun and fire at battleships from 10,000 feet up. Bat- tleships could have no protection against such weapoms. Speaking of the progress that had been made in planning aerial attacks on warships, Sir Percy Scett said, In an interview in the Evening Stand- ard: “It is no secret now-—every man in the service knows it—that had the war lasted another fortnight, we would probably, by means of an aerial at- tack, have sunk all the German ships in the Kiel Canal" TO ATTEND MEETING Members of the New Britain Real Estate Board are planning to attend the quarterly meeting of the exacutive board and the officers of the National Real Estate Board which will be held at the Hotel Taft at New Haven April 27-28.

The. program would include presentations of the situation from the ylewpoint of public efficials having to da with public work, and the construc- tion, financial, and transportation in- terests. Each of the elements in the construction industries should not only deal with the discussion of the situation in general, but should come down to actual statements of costs of materials and other specific facts which must be considered in effecting a proper rencw- al of comstructiom activities. tion to the above subjects that of labor shouid be dealt with thoroughly, both as regards to labor costs and restriction of output efficiency.’” The executive committee advises that the direction committees should arrange for meetings of contractors, with or without their labor, for the purpose of going into the subject of reducing labor cests on & just basis. The primary elements of the meeting, subject to modifications as the local situation may indicate are as follows: “‘(a) Devclopment of wage bases accordance with existing conditions. “(b) Setting of standards of produc- tion which will at least equal those of pre-war time. *‘¢) Taking steps which will have in view the elimination of jurisdictional and sympathetic strikes and other stop- pages of work. ‘‘(d) The development of better re- lationships between employers and em- ployes primarily for making efficient work less difficult of accomplishment. ‘‘(e) Adjustment of profits, overhead and methods of doing business in a way to conform with present business condi- tions and improved efficiency.”’ LOARDS ACTS Yed in almost in POLICE.
