This program went into effect, giving Great Britain
United States and Japan the respective standings OF o5
Lately you have been reading lot of controversy about
the navy having fallen behind the DOS standard
Just what its actual fighting strength is must be con-

ships than in others. Elevations Of guns determining
how far shell can be fired, also enters into the dis

The thing to keep in mind. however, is the navy as

Some experts go far to claim that the ratio Is

third as strong as Japan's and fifth as strong as
Britains This is the extreme view.
The fact remains, however that navy Is claimed
to have become weakened-faen below the relative stand
