.■•■■■ GERMAN VIEW. The January number 'of the ■ marino "Rundschan," which is thiS m4hthly ■publication of tho Gdrnten Imperial Navy Office, contains a politico-strategical article on tho North Sea. Tho argument is that in the event of an Anglo-German war. .English strategy would aim at blockntlo, that this blockade would bd carried out by bindings on Gerraaii, Dutoh, or Danish territory, and'that consequently vendiuciss for war at sea and stroug coast defences . are indispensable on the German sido of the North Sen. Tho writer calls j tho North Sen tho threshold commanding tho economic life of Middln ami Eastern Europe. To keep tho North tfca open is it vital nocossity for'the State which lies behind it. Control of tho North Sea fa u strategic task for the Kuxlish fleet and for carrying out this task the future baso of Rosyth possesses an ideal control position, which, however, is not favourable for the immediate object of. English strategy, in wnr, n closo blockade of tho German North Sea const. Even tno Wash nnd the Humber aro too far away, and it would become a nocossity to sock bases for tho blockade of German ports on tho German North Sea Islands.
