THE NAVAL HOLIDAY.
The outcome of the proposal of the British Lord of the Admiralty that Britain and Germany should observe next year a sort of close season, in which meither country shall expend money or labour in building war vessels, is being awaited with profound interest. The proposal has, so far, not met with the reception from Germany that Mr Winston Churchill had fondly hoped. On the contrary, indications ar<j >not" wanting that the Fatherland intends displaying greater activity than before in its naval and military preparations.. "What will the end be? The editor of the "English Review, in an article in Every Man, says
"This year—-1913—will see whether or 'iio Germany intends altering the course. This year thp Britain and Germany question will be decided; that is to say, either Germany will come forward as our friend, and we shall 'be able to discern what deal we can make with her about boats, or she will not do so, in which case the Anglo-German war will become inevitable. Inevitable, because whein two great forces prepare to collide collision ultimately is the only solution, and from our point of view the sooner the better."
