LIVERPOOL Saturday, March 30 England's navy must be prepared for the future, said Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, commander Of the grand fleet, speaking here today on the services of the navy during the great war.
 The navy learned many lessons during the four and a half years just past" he said. We made many mis- takes and it is our business today to see that those lessons are taken to heart to face the greatest crisis with improvised methods
 Admiral Beatty paid tribute to the efforts of Liverpool in fitting out the tenth cruiser squadron, which during the war maintained the rigorous blockade of Germany.
 That blockade" he added, was one of the most important factors in Bringing about the defeat of the en- emy. Stretched across the waste of water from West of Hebrides to the Arctic ice fields. these ships kept their watch and ward in weather that had to be experienced to be understood. Every ship sighted had to be boarded and examined
 We of the navy know full well our own defects and it is our business to efface them and to avoid the repeti- ton of mistakes from which we suf- fered in the past. he work Of recon struction has 10 be taken in hand with q knowledge of our requirements 1 learned by bitter experience in the past four and half years.
 ''The navy is today what il has been for the past POO years, the sure shield of Great Britain and the British em- pire. That shield must be kept sure by clear thinking and concerted eff fort on scientific lines. In the nee essary struggle for retrenchment such economies as cedtainly will be re- quested by applied with wisdom and proper understanding of the prob i lems before us.
 The navy is shield and not a rattling sabre. The navy and the mercantile marine have learned tC know and respect each other as never 1 before. It must be their care to foster and strengthen that feeling so that in future and for all time the roya
 navy and mercantile marine will pro- vide sure shield which will enable the empire to continue to prosper
