BRITISH NAVY

IS “PITIFULLY INADEQUATE.”

“EMPIRE DESERVES ITSi FATE.”

(United Press Association—By Electrio

Telegraph—Copyright.)

(Received this day at 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, December 18. The navy can no longer guarantee the safety of food and oil supplies in the event ot war as tile cruisers available are pitifully inadequate m respect of numbers and strength, says a preface to Jane’s “Fighting Ships.” The programme is so limited, and the concessions that Britain made at the London Conference so one-sided, that th, s constructors are faced with the disagreeable necessity of providing ships, inferior and opposite in number. Abroad, the Empre will be unable to defend itself, and deserves its fate. Efforts of professional pacificists should no longer be tolerated. The desire for peace may be worldwide, but rapidly growing virile nations demand new markets a «d teiritory. The League has degenerated into' a debating society, anxious and impotent. The preservation of peace in the Pacific depends upon other factors than pacts and treaties.
