THE NAVAL PROBLEM.
AMERICAN ADMIRAL’S VIEWS. By Telegraph Press Assn —Copyright New York, Jan. 18. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune interviewed Admiral von Scheer, who said that the proposals throughout the world to abandon building . capital ships were unwise. It was true that submarines must be developed to the utmost, since the destruction of enemy trade afforded a hitherto undreamed of defence but a great fleet of dreadnoughts was also needed to safeguard coastlines and submarine bases. Each weapon had its uses, each nation its own coast problems, and each must adopt its individual programme; but the great lesson learned from the war was this, that nations owning submarines were practically secure against invasion by sea. Submarines, however, had not killed the capital ship.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
