ALL SHE CAN DO

The repeated announcement that the German Government intends io enter upon a strenuous programme of new warship construction need not create much alarm. Try as she may, Germany can hardly complete more than four battleships of super-Dreadnought dimensions in one- year, says tho "Sydney Shipping List." Tho production of gun-mountings and armour are tho controlling factors in battleship output. The whole of the resources of Great Britain are equal to turning out 60,000 tons of armour plates annually. Germany claims a productive capacity of 43,000 tens; she has been in the habit of importing considerable quantities of warship material froni the United States, which, of course, is now stopped. One-third of the displacement of a Dreadnought is made up of weight of armour. The armour alone for five ships of 27,000 tons is, therefore, more than Germany can produce in 12 months. The German yards may—and doubtless will—turn out largo numbers of destroyers and submarines. But these cannot transfer to Germany the command of tho sea, and Great Britain, France, Japan, and Russia should be able to turn out at least two torpedo craft for her one.
