THE safety of the country stands
above all other sacrifices and no mat
ter what the cost, the safety of the
country must be secured
This was the ground upon which
Reginald McKenna, first lord of the
admiralty. justified the increase OF
nearly SIS 10000 in the navy cs-
Inmates when they We're introduced by
him in the house of today.
No II could suppose went on
Mr.. Mekenna. ''tha. the present gov
eminent assumed the responsibility OF
these estimates with q light heart. but
there are cases whom even the most
determined economist would have to
make sacrifices
1t was axiomatic. the speaker con-
tinued. that Great Britain should
maintain q navy strong enough TO
insure Britain's shores from invasion,
protect the empire from hostile at
tacks and safeguard trade from de-
struction during war. The limits Of
the navy must be fixed by the prog
ress Of toregn powers Several pow
ers were rapidly developing their naval
strength at present but not one at a
pace to be compared to Germany.
Mr.. McKenna explained that he
only selected Germany as Il standard
by which to measure British require
ments for arithmetical purposes and
he did not presume to any expression
Of feeling or opinion except one of
respectful admiration for Germany's
administrative and professional eff
cheney. The present difficulty of the
goVernmcnt lay in the fact hat ii did
not know the rate at which German
construction was going ON. 1t esti-
mated hat thirteen German Dread
noughts and InVincibles might be
completed by 1911. as against twelve
D~readnoughts and four Inyincibles
which Great Britain would have by
November. 1911. If Germany ac-
celebrated her construction work she
would have seventeen OF these ships
by April of 1912.
Great Britain could not afford to
risks and If she was to maintain
her superiority the admiralty must be
in a position to obtain the delivery of
-four additional Drcadnouehts by
of 1912. thus giving Great Brit
twenty such vessels against Ger
manv's possible seventeen
Mr.. McKenna said he considered
that the maintenance Of superiority
denended unon sunerio"it.- in Dread
thoughts alone. He eaid - tribute to
"~extraordinary growth" in the con-
etruotinn of sbips of the largest size
in Germany. Two Years a~o there
were no ships cauablo of campcting
with the British Dreadnoughts while
today GERMANY has several such Ves-
sells besides three in course OF con
struction. In view of these facts, if
