THE british FLEET.

THE BKITISH FLEET.
winston Churchill says that Great
Britain will retain It's navy. In any
internationalistIo scheme adopted by
league OF nations tho British em-
pire will guarantee the freedom ~
the seas and tho safety OF tho seas In
such manner M II has guaranteed
them "a date for tho purposes Of ita
own good az we'll as for tho general
good OF mankind.
We know the British will keep
their navy. and In keeping It retain
control OF the seas. The league Of
nations may az well begin with this
idea. Tho British intend to remain
In their own right able 10 protect
themselves In so far az control of
the seas Ia a protection.
We can see the British reducing
their navy and relying upon an In
ternational naval police force when
we can SEQ a starving man throw
ing away sausage. Freedom OF
the seas will mean freedom to do
any peaoable thing when the Brit
ish navy Ia not at war. and freedom
to do only what tho British navy
pleases shall be done on the seas
whom the British navy Ia at war.
This II British policy, and we cx-
pect TO see It emerge from the peace
conference triumphant In spite Of
attacks upon IT, in spite OF suEges-
tions that the greater humanitarian
ism lies in another direction. In
spite OF declarations that all nations
must be wholly at the disposal OF
the international force which makes
for good and preserves order.
Tho British indicate fully now.
before the peace conference begins.
that they Intend, in any league of
nations, to retain for themselves
what they think essential to their
security, and this is their navy.
Anything else can be information

main the British navy. II will police

Great Britain does not need It in its
