EMPIRE SECURITY.
VALUE OF THE NAVY, BEATTY REPLIES TO CRITICS, By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright Received May 9, 5.5 p.m. 'London, May 8. Lord Beatty, speaking at Glasgow, said J sea power was as essential to the secur- ! ity and prosperity of the Empire as ever. j The fleet in commission represented the minimum compatible with our superiority > and supremacy of the seas. He said crities declared we must hare ships which would disappear under the surface one minute and be lost in the [clouds in the next, and while he dared say i they were right, the time for such ships was not yet. ' He disagreed with the statement that the day of the capital snip had passed. The capital ship was still the unit upon which the sea power of the Empire was built, and nothing had yet been devised by the critics, outside a few windy paragraphs in the newspapers, to take the place of capital ships. The Navy, he declared, must continue the connecting link between the Mother Country and the Overseas Dominions.— Times Service.
