AN ADMIRALS VIEW’S
ON A RESTRICTED NAVY
rUnited Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] LONDON, January 11. “Wars come suddenly” says Admiral Sir Richard Phillomore, commenting on Mr Alexander’s cruiser speech. He quotes Mr Lloyd George as saying early in 1914 that he did not see a cloud on the horizon. Phillmore adds that peace produces fantasies and war gives facts. We started war apart from battleships, battle cruisers and submarines with 125 cruisers built or building 260 destroyers and sloops. We. had lost twenty-five cruisers 101 small craft by the end of the War when we had 130 cruisers built or building, 558 sloops and destroyers 68 armed merchantment. Nevertheless submarine attacks confronted us . with starvation which Hon. Bridgeman last year promised should not be risked again.
