Ships Needed in War “Future wars must be fought largely by vessels already completed at the beginning of the war. Great Britain announced at the Geneva conference that she needed about 600,000 tons of vessels of the cruiser class. Our original proposal at Geneva was for cruiser tonnage of between 250,000 and 300,000 tons, a tonnage lems than we felt neceasary for our fleet. We were willing to ac- cept the hasard of building less ton- nage than wo needed if the other powers would accept _ similar hazards, “Great Britain was not willing to accept this limitation but feit her needs for the larger tonnage of cruisers she proposed to be impera- tive for the protection of her na- tional interesta .
