Washington. D. c. Saturday. N view of the American decision to pro-
 ceed with a giant naval building pro- gramme. based on capital ships the controversy now raging in England over the British naval policy is of intense interest It instantly raises the question of whether those responsible for the United States pro- gramme involving total of s679,515731. large part Of which is to go for construction are right in their determination of what type of war vessels are required to keep the American Navy in the foreground with the other nations of the world.
 The dispute in England is over the ques- ton of whether it is better to build capital ships. such as dreadnoughts and battle cruisers, or smaller craft, like submarines and submarine chasers.
 The clash has assumed tremendous pro- portions so great, in fact. that the Admi- ralty programme for the construction of large fighting vesesls has been set aside until a complete survey can be accomplished. The investigation is to be conducted. accord ing to the information in Washington. by the British Committee of Imperial Defence. United States and Japan Going Ahead
 With Construction of Capital Ships
 Meantime the United States and Japan are going ahead on the theory that capital ships. as they always have been, will continue to be the dominating force in naval warfare. Both nations are going ahead with large building programmes. with the result that the British fear their fleet will rank third among the navies of the world It is to retain their pre-war policy Of maintaining the most powerful navy afioat that the British are so lleenly concerned about the type of vessel that should be built
 Vice-Admiral Sis Percy Scott, of the Brit ish Navy, the originator of modern naval gunnery. first raised the cry against the bettleship when the British Admiralty an- rounced its programme of battleship con- struction. He based his objections to the construction of large fighting craft on the record of the war. in which submarines. not battleships, predoninated in the action.
 Tn the war we kept battleships for four years in port" Sir Percy argued. "and the Germans kept their battleships for four years in the KieI canal. When they were taken out they had to be guarded with whole fiotillas of destroyers and treated as if they were made of glass
 "Other Powers may be building battleships. They may also be making mistake in so do ing. That is no business of ours. But if there is a risk that they mistaken. the Admiralty ought to explain very clearly what use it has for the battleships before we build
