Tho most important administrative decision of the past month has been the acceptance of the naval construction programme prepared by the Japanese Council of National Defence. The programme briefly is the laying down of one battleship of 31,000 tons, two light cruisers of 3800 tons each, four destroyers of 1000 tons each, and a submarine of 800 tons. These vessels are to be completed and afloat within four years. The appropriation is some .C 4,700,000, and this has been included in the Budget. In this way, says the Far East, the Government has for the time being disposed of one of Ihe most serious problems facing Japan—the maintenance of a navy of sufficient strength to cope with the navy of the nearest great Power. If Britain had her two-Power standard, Japan must have her onePower standard, and that she has not got. Japan is far behind America in naval strength; despite the wastage of war she is not, as some publicists seem to imagine, likely to be relatively stronger compared with the other Powers at the end of the war than she is now. At the present time in one British yard alone there are nine dreadnoughts oil the stocks, and the British navy is very much more efficient and stronger than it was a year ago. The. only hope of I .Japan keeping pace with other Powers in construction is by buying abroad.
