BRITAIN NEEDS
A LARGE NAVY
So Says First Lord of the
Admiralty in Answer to
Criticisms of Opponents

LONDON, Aug. e.-Replying to critf-
cisms Of the naval expenditure in the
House OF Lords to-day Lord Selbourne.
First Lord Of the Admiralty, warmly
defended the outlay. He said it was
more important now than ever before
that British battleships especially
should be of the largest and best type
Referring to submarine boats Lord
SeIbourne said their value for defensive
purposes had been abundantIy proved
They were a great addition TO the na-
tfonaI strength. He did not believe
submarine boats had reached their lint
Of Improvement or usefulness The les
sons from the war in the Far East
were the importance Of the personnel.
the necessity for having a margin Of
strength and the fact that without
battleshfps no power could hold nor
win command Of the sea.
Lord SeIbourne said the offer Of Lord
Goschen, made when he was First Lord
of the Admiralty that If other nations
would agree to diminish their rate OF
ship building Great Britain would not
be slow to join the movement had not
been withdrawn, but the conditions
now were more complicated. A few
years ago IT would have sufficed If
France and Great Britain had agreed
to diminish their shipbuilding, but now
there were almost half a dozen great
naval powers, and Great Britain and
France must consider the expenditure
OF other powers The two-power stand
was convenient as regards battleships,
but had never had its application to
cruisers or torpedo-boats.
Continuing Lord SeIbourne referred
to the newspaper comparison Of the
gunnery and strength of the German
vessels which recently had visited Eng
land and pointed out that the German
ships carried eighteen 6-inch guns COM
pared with twelve on the ships Of the
British channel squadron. But the
British ships carried 10-inch. 12-inch
and I31h inch guns, while there was
not a single gun on the German visit
ing fleet with caliber over 9 s.4-inch.
