SEA POWER.
BRITISH SUPREMACY. (Ey Cable.—Press Association. —Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) NEW YORK, January 19. Mr Bernard Shaw, in an article published in New York papers, says that England's Fleet must command the seas. No rival or combination of rivals must be capable of overcoming our fleet. If the United States builds 1000 new battleships, England will build 2500. England cannot permit a Continental Power to acquire such military predominance in Europe as to deprive England of her power of defeating,her by throwing British forces in the scale against her. No Great Power must be allowed to control the shores of the North Sea, thereby cutting off _ England's military access to tlie Continent. This is the English equivalent of the Monroe Doctrine.
