session of the diet. No official state
ment is made by the government but
the public accepts this estimate as ap-
proximately true. The necessary cred
its, estimated at 19O,0000O0 yen or
$50, 100000 would be spread over a
period of four years for 1916.
The original plan prepared by the
national defense council last year
was understood to have been eight
battleships, eight battle cruisers, six
scout ships, sixty-four destroyers and
twenty-four submarines during a term
of eight years. This, however, was
greatly modified.
Military authorities are quoted as
saying that it would be better to post
pone naval expansion until after the
present war, as the war will alter
naval tactics and naval construction
to no small degree. However. rno
army is not opposed to naval develop
