A POWERFUL FLEET Her’ Naval Policy Purely Defen- sive and She Must Be Pre- pared to Strike the First Blow in Event of War. LONDON, Feb. 29.—In introducing the naval estimates in the House of Com- mons to-day Ernest G. Pretyman, Sec- retary to the Admiralty, made the umal explanatory statement. He jus- tifled the increase in the estimates on the ground that the two Powers stand- ard must be mainatined. The Russian hattle-ship programme as well as the programme of the other friendly naval powers had been taken into cbnsideration In framing the esti- mates. Russia and France together had built or were building 64 first and second class battle-ships, and France and Germany combined were building or had built 61 battle-ships, while the British total was 63 battle-ships. So Great Britain was close up to the two Powers’ standard. Tin considering the crulser programme continued Secretary Prettyman, the wovernment was not governed by this standard, but by the Immense prepond- eranice of British sea-borne commerce. While regretting the increased expendi- ture.the Admiralty regarded it as being insurance. . After relterating the details of the expenditure, the construction proe- framme, &e., the Secretary, Pretyman, concluded with saying that despite the| “Ppears to have entered the postal car, heavy estimates the naval policy of Great Britain was purely defensive.

The greatest power for peace throughout world, ihe added, was the British Navy, which was also the most powerful instrumen of war in the wirid. The debate was initiated by J. H. Roberts (Liberal), who tmoved a reso- lution ‘valling on the Government in the interests of international peace to com- municate with the other great Powers and ascertain whether they are willing to “diminish their shipbuilding pro- Bramme and adjust the balance of their relative naval strength on a permanent basis. Mr. Arnold-Forster, Sccretary of War, af a member of the Defense Com- mittee, said he was of the opinion that the British Government had. done enor in the direction of the proposal to the Continental Government for a reduction of armaments. . The Government was prepared’ to consider proposals from any foreign government for a reduction of naval armaments, but Great Britain's naval strength was a vital nevos: There was not a single country of Europe which coul@ not abolish its fleet. to- morrow, so far as any danger of an invasion by Great Britain was. con- cerned but the moment Great Britain's maritime, supremacy gone she might be invaded any day.
