NAVY LEAGUE
AGITATION FOR MORE CRUISERS
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright)
LONDON, December 31
The “ Emdcn ” and “ Karlsruhe ” in-y cidents illustrate most clearly the indisputable fact that the cruiser requirements of the Empire are not measurable hv the naval strength of other nations,” says Lord Linlithgow, President of the Navy League, in his New Year message. He adds: —The length and importance of trade routes and the immense difficulties of bringing action against hostile commerce raiders must necessarily governour cruiser requirements. Our naval experts alone are capable of translating the terms of the British policy. The Empire needs fighting ships. The vital security of Britain demands her non-committal to any undertaking without the full approval of the Admiralty.
