ENGLISH NAVY NEEDS TOLD
Lord of Admiralty Urges Keeping
Pace with Germany.
Situation Is Most Dangerous In Nod
ern History, Declares OpPO-
sitiOn Leader.

London, March le-In the House OF
Commons to-day Reginald McKenna. first
lord Of the admiralty, made the annual
statement on the navy estimates before
a crowded house.
He said that his proposals were Of ex-
ceprOnaI gravity from a financial point
Of view, but, no matter at what cost. the
safety Of the country must be assured
and the limits Of the navy fixed By the
progress Of foreign powers.
Several of the powers were rapidly de-
veloping their naval strength. but none
Of them AZ a pace comparable with Ger
many, he said.
Mr. McKenna then gave statistics show
ing that the British government has not
set the pace in the naval construction.
He concluded:
Our chief difficulty Is that we do not
know al what rate Germany is building.
and when her programme Will be
finished"
Mr.. McKenna's detailed account Of Ger
many's preparations greatly astonished
and impressed the House.
Mr. BaIOufi the opposition leader, said
he approached the subject in no alarnist
spirit, but for the first time IN modern
history. Great Britain was face 20 face
with a naval situation so dangerous that
It was difficult TO realize all It portended.
The programme of the government was
utterly insufficient. he said. and he asked
the government 10 use to the utmost the
enormous resources at its disposal TO re-
store not a two-power standard. but a
one-power standard in the matter OF ships
OF first class power.

be their guest at the dinner which is
being planned to celebrate the union OF
