Mr Archibald Hurd says Britain’s supremacy at sea has temporarily passed to the United States which has thirty-one battleships in commission reducing to twenty-nine in 1920.

The basis of the majority of the ships of the Home fleet (already cabled), reduces our force ready for battle to

sixteen battleships ami cruisers, of which ten are in the Allantic, and six in the Mediterranean. It is ridiculous to suggest the Admiralty has done nothing to economise. There will not be a single man of war on the slips by ChristmaS - —an unprecedented post tion in modern limes. Already two hundred ships have been scrapped.

Th?, new order to the Home Fleet suggests the whole of that force will soon dis--3 appear.
