THE NAVAL SITUATION
REVIEWED 1!V WINSTON CHURCHILL ■ ANTAGONISM TU OERMANY DEiPRECATED. Received 15, 10.30 p.m. London, April 15. Mr. \Vin.->tuii ChurchiH, in u letter to his constituents, say* whether in .ship*, men or guns, Britain's superiority over (lermaiiy is overwhelming. Any colonial Dreadnoughts would be. additional to the British programme. The Admiralty was prepared to prove that llriltiin ill 1!>12 would be, effectively superior to the two next European Powers. The twoPower standard was now devoid of meaning, because it would lie absurd lo build agaium the United States. The panic, h:> said, was due lo sheer cowardice based on stupid and vicious errors. There was no antagonism between llritni u and (lermany, only commercial rivalry. It was therefore the duty :if wen of light, and lending lo deny to countenance the spirit of distrust. The Chronicle, miuimciiling on the letter, says poor Mr. Asipiith has f ome reputation for clear thinking anij lucid expression, jet his young colleague elinracterises his workable formula as a vickus and stupid error.
