Yet there is no need to minimize what the suetmitiee's programme actually contemplates in the way of substan- tial increase of naval strength merely because that increase is not at once all it ought to be. | It is something to be thankful for that the experts convinced the | committee siembers of the importanoe of battle cruisora in modern naval defense. Five thirty-five-knot vessels of this type, each carry- ing ten fourteen-inch guns, would put the United States well to the fore in the battle-cruiser class, and the need of battle cruisers is ad-' mitted to be more urgent than the need of dreadnoughts. ‘The rest of the programme—twenty submarines, four scout cruisers, ten de-) stroyers, one hospital ship, one fuel ship, one ammunition ship and) 16,500 more men—is a step, though a sl 1 one, in the right direction. Moreover it is a good sign, as Secretary Dan points out, that) members of the naval committee who voted for only one battleship! Jast vear are wow voting for five battle eruisers to cost over $20,000,000 each. Tt cannot be said that the country’s growing dentand for adequate defense has had no effect upon its legislators. | The Senate will have a chance to amplify the House commit-! tee’s plan, and maybe the final measure will be still nearer what it! should be. Yet nobody can well maintain that there is no prepared-; Ness in the programme ag it stands. ———_—__—- 42. —__--—_— Boat Issue Closed, View ‘Taken in Berlin Headline | »y know there how to keep it so SING SING DOOMED.
