leaders who saw the future security

there were American leaders who
feared for the future security Of
America unless American naval
armament was at least equal TO thu
OF Great Britain. Among the very
able reports submitted TO the Peace
Conference were those OF Admiral
Benson. American naval adviser,
and his argument, early and late,
waa that the United states should
have a fleet equal 20 that OF Great
Britain. In n strong memorandum
submitted to the President on April
2 he sets forth the case Of the

British naval supremacy was as

British policy. therefore. was merely
to preserve that supremacy.
Question Of tho German Fleet.
Only one thing Immediately
threatened to make Il less pro-
nounced--and that was the possible
distribution OF the great rival Ger
man and Austrian fleets among the
allied and associated powers. Most
of these ships were. safely interned
and guarded in the English harbor
OF Scape Flow. In total these con-
stituted n great and powerful fleet:
27 battIcships and battle cruisers.
including several great dread
noughts. 10 light cruisers; 1o1 de-
stroyers and about las submarines.
Admiral Benson estimated that the
distributioG Of these German Aus
trian ships would increase the

, than less sea power. The Morning
Post saw in the League of Nations
only an ''insidious scheme for inter-
Matchmaking the British Empire
and distributing its resources
among foreigners.
But there was another powerful,
lioeral-labor group in the Empire,
led by such men as General SHUTS
and Lord Robert Cecil, expressed by
such newspapers as The Manchester
Guardian, which strongly supported
the Presidents program While they
were never for weakening the secur-
ity OF Great Britain, especially In
time OF world turmoil. they shared
the Presidents vision OF world
safety not dependent upon the dom
inant military power of any one
state. not even Grea. Britain, but
upon generous cooperation OF the
nations In guaranteeing their mu-
tual safety. They looked forward
to the future limitation OF naval
armament and to a League of Ma
tions which Should discharge for
liberty some of the functions hither-

AS for Mr.. Lloyd George. he used
and played both of these groups at
Paris as the momentary exigencies
OF politics demanded. He took with

strength of the naval armaments of
the great powers about 80. per cent.
'khe American naval advisers had no
doubt what ought to be done with
them; they ought TO be sailed out
into the deep sea- the water cocks
opened. and the entire fleet sunk to
the bottom.
The destruction OF the German
Austrian vessels said Admiral
Benson, would be a practical dem
onstration TO the world of the sin
cerity OF the high contracting par
ties in their determination to reduce
armaments.'
Admiral Benson assumed in his
report (of April y that Great Brit
ain desired distribution rather than
destruction; but there is little TO
bear, out this assumption. The diff
ficulties would be too great. the
rivalries aroused too bitter. and in
the end the distribution might well
reduce the ratio of ascendancy of
the British. Besides. the German
ships were built on wholly differ
ent mechanical standards from the
British-by metric measurements
and maintenance might have been
almost as expensive as the produc-
tion of new ships. Although Ilovd
George APPARENT used the DISPOSE
ton OF the German ships strates-
icaily in the conferences, the de-
struction of the rival navy seems 10
have been the real policy of the
British Admiralty. 1t was the
French who stood out for distribu-
tlon; who desired to increase. rather
than decrease their armament.
The naval conditions of the peace
proposed by the admirals in the ses-
sion of March 6 provided for the de-
struction of all submarines and all
warships beyond those Germany
should be permitted TO retain. The
French reserved on each OF these
clauses and long tussle began.
1t finally headed up in a sharn
passage during a meeting on April
20 at President Wilson's residence
In the Place des Etats Unis. The
Italian Premier had gone home to
protest against the attitude of the
council regarding Fiume. Only the
so-called big Three were in at
tendance - Wilson, LLOYD George
and Clemenceau. but each had with
him his chief naval adviser. Admiral
Benson for America, Rear Admiral
Hope for Great Britain and Admiral
