LONDON, March ID (By The Associ-

mates for 1921-'22 amount to G9l,l86.-
800 gross (normally about $455 900, ,O00)
and sS2,47o,000 net. it was announced
by Lord Lee Of Fareham, First Lord
of the Admiralty, to-day. Last year
the net estimate was s94,372 300
In statement explaining the esti-
mates, Lord Lee said they. were based
on the governments policy Of main
tanning "onepowcr standard.'
at is the duty OF the Admiralty to
carry out that policy as economically
as possible Lord Lees statement

policy
Four Capital Ships Omitted
Lord Lee pointed out that the econ

mum ber OF capital ships in full COM

pared with thirty eight in 1914.
"This is the smallest number that
will enable the essential sea-goine
technical training of officers and men
to be carried out properly" the state
mcnt asserted.
Other changes announced by Lord
Lee are the placing in reserve of one
of the four destroyer fotilas of the
Atlantic fleet, reduction of the North
American and South African squadrons
by one light cruiser each, complete
temporary withdrawal of the South
American squadron and the reduction
of the personnel of the feet during
1921 to 121. 700 men, as compared with
127, 800 men in 1920
These changes, dictated almost en-
trely by the need OF economy. accord
ing to Lord Lee, make it incumbent on
the Admiralty to maintain a reduced
navy in a state of the highest possible
etiiciency.' In pursuance of this policy
eight battleships armed with twelve
inch Guns, now in reserve, will be
transferred to the disposal list. The

Representative Kelley said the House
would object strongly to the increase

President Harding inclnes to the

Indications arc that the House will
insist on the more economical program.
