BRITISH NAVY ESTIMATES TO SHOW BIG REDUCTION London, March 13.—The mavy esti- mates for 1921-22, to be made public to- morrow, will show a reduction of soree millions of ponnds on the net estimute for the last finuncial year, which was £34'72 300, according to the forecast of the poliiical correspondent of the London Times. He says there will be a reduction of possibly £10,000,000, and understands that, following upon the findings of the sub-committee’ of the committee of im- perial defense, the government has decid- ed in principle tl.at the capital ships must continue to be the main unit of an effect- ive fleet. Outlining the present position, the cor- respondent says there are now 38 capital ships, of which eight are obsolescent, if not ebsolete, and adds that it is regarded as uneconomical to man such ships with exXpensive, highly trained personnel; con- sequently these eight are: expected to be scrapped. Adhering tothe policy ol the “one- power standard” enunciated by Walter Hume Long, the former first lord of the admiralty, last summer, the government says the correspondent, considers that the remaining thirty capital ships consti- tute for the present an adequat: basis for the maintenance of the oic-power stan- dard. “But as at least four of these ships will presently necd to be replaced,” the forecast continues, “the construction of four vessels to take their place will event- ually be necessary.’ After consultation with the dominion governments next June. it adds, orders may be placed for the building of these four new vessels, “but it is possible that in the meantime a beginning may be made by laying down twe.” The correspondent refers to the esti- mates as embodying a comparatively moderate building program and says it would . hardly be pomsible o spend more than £1,000.000 on each new battieship laid down. He declares that erpert opin- ion tends strongly to i‘re view that delay in the comstruction oi¢ the new “Post- Jutland shi ‘would not be justified ow- ing to the mecesstty of urder'ns the mate- rial in advance and utllizing tae lessons of the war.
