“FAR-SIGHTED POLICY”
AMERICA’S BID FOR SEA POWER NAVAL WRITER’S WARNING (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Friday. The naval correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph” sums up the effects of the United States Navy estimates. He says that in the next fiscal year the American Navy will equal the British Navy in capital ships, and will he superior in the number of big guns, and immensely superior in destroyers, submarines and aircraft. The American Navy, he says, will be inferior only in cruisers. When her new construction programme has been completed, America will gain a pronounced lead in the number of large, modern, ocean-going cruisers. “The United States Government is following a far-sighted policy as regards air power,” says the writer. “Compared with her figures, our air fleet arm dwindles almost to insignificance. America’s sea power, as represented by ships and men, is increasing practically at the same rate as British sea power is declining.”
