list OF England are II battle ships and .

our Navy, that is, before 1884. While they
are in the figures, they do not, l say like
ours. represent actual offensive strength.
In her total of 757 tons. France has
10000 tons of these ships that were built
before 1854. or twenty years ago. and not
one of them can be used for offensive
purposes. Deducting this 10000 tons
makes her about 81. 4S2 tons ahead of us.
This deduction of old and comparatively
obsolete ships from Frances effective
navy, with another table which l shall
give. brings us up with our naval program
with France and with her next to Great
Britain, which has got Of these old ships
built before 1884, 10000 tons. Germany

Mr.. MALLORY. We have some ships

Mr. HALE. 1 am only taking now the
ships not of that kind; 1 am only taking
new ships of other powers that were built

Mr.. MALLORY. Even conceding that.

Mr.. HALE. Well. l do. When VIC come
to the number of ships that Great Britain
