Every day that this ratio Of losses
continues contains n threat against
not only the power Of the allies TO
sustain themselves during the war,
but against their capacity to reas-
sert their supremacy in shipping
after the war. II peace shall be
made on terms that restore TO Ger
many her informed ships. then she
will be equipped with n vast tonnage
ready TO reassert her place as a great
shipping power. Germany's mer-
chant marine grows larger, in COM
parison. every time a ship Of some
competing nation is sent down. I'M
restricted submarine warfare might
in another year Of war cripple the
ability Of Britain so greatly that.
once peace was restored, she would
occupy a poorer place than ever
since America dropped out Of the
race for maritime supremacy.
These things are not being over
looked by statesmen Of the entente,
as they contemplate the possibility
of peace. The British navy cannot
be maintained as a guarantee Of
superior power at sea, unless British
shipping retains its old position of
superiority. Without the British
navy, the entente would have been
beaten in the first few months Of the
war. Without that navy. likewise,
in future, the enemies OF Germany
would have poor chance to sustain
themselves. The destruction of Brit
ish merchant marine supremacy
means the breaking of British naval
power; and that means the establish
ment of Germany in a position she
has long sought to attain, seemingly
with little chance to succeed. Let
the naval and shipping balance be
dangerously menaced, and Germany's
chances in her bid for world-power
will be UNNECESSARILY bettered. The
most casual thought on these con-
ditions will make apparent one rea-
son, not always given its due weight,
why peace on any terms less than
decisive German defeat would be
ruinous to the allies.
