THE BRITISH NAVY.
PACIFIC HOLDS THE FUTURE. AMERICA AND BRITAIN DOMINATE THE WORLD. By Telegraph.—Press Awn.—Copyright. London, Sept. 12. Lord Fisher declares that the problem of designing a new British navy immune from air attacks and coming economy of construction and the highest efficiency with continuously fresh ideas, is associated with the question where will the next battleground be and with whom will the fight be. Lord Fisher asks: "Is is /to be with the Chinese and Japanese?" and adds, "Personally I expect another Eastern exodus to Europe and a simultaneous movement westward across the PacificThat ocean holds the future. Every fourth baby born into the world is Chinese."
After considering America's ambitions and international strength, Lord Fisher points out there are historical proofs of kinsmen's liability to quarrel. Lord Fisher concludes that an Anglo-American fight is inconceivable, and asks: "Cannot the American and English navies dominate the world at any time and simply tell all others to build no more ships or we fight you here and now?" —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
