NAVAL |NFER|OR|!y
FEARED IN BRITAIN
Other Powers Are Accused
CT Failure to Live Up to
Spirit of Treaties.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 28.-Britain's de-
cision to build bigger cruisers and agita-
ton for an increase in naval building
next year Is generally justified here on
the score that inferiority on the sea
threatens the English navy.
Other powers are charged with failure
to live up to the spirit of the London
and Washington naval treaties. disap-
pointment Is also expressed because the
United States and other countries failed
to follow the British lead In building
smaller ships.
Naval experts assert this country will
be lucky if it has 40 effective cruisers
in 1886, instead of the so allowed under
the London treaty. 1t is pointed out
that Britain agreed to that limit only
with the provision that "other powers
reduce correspondingly their projected
programs"
Claims were advanced that no fewer
than 80 new cruisers have been laid
down since then by the other four
signatory powers. the United States,
France. Italy and Japan.
The British government in July, 1890
pointed out it accepted also maximum
total Of 100000 tons for destroyers SUBJ
Ject to reductions in submarine
strengths of other powers" Here, too, it
was claimed the treaty has been ignored
with lis submarines laid down by other
signatories.
Advocates of big navy have opened
a heavy bombardment.
Winston Churchill heaped Goals on
the fire with an attack on the dis
armament conference, in which he
charged the United States with max
ing the most beautiful speeches Of
all while making the largest increase
In its naval and air forces"
In one of his rare political speeches
the veteran Lord Carson was cheered
heartily when he declared Il am a man
OF peace with good navy"
StreSsing Britain'S unpreparedness at
the outbreak of the war in 1914, Earl
Jellicoe. admiral of the fleet. said
nobody can say, looking at Europe, and
indeed at the whole world, as 1t is
today, that 1t is impossible that an.
other war may come"
Vice Admiral Sir S. J. Tweedie was
reported to have said in recent speech
that England has only half a navy
and it's no damn good"
CRITICISM OF the program of increas-
ing the size of warShipS has come
from some quarters. Some critics con-
tend it is dangerous to world peace
At the other pole others believe it is
too feeble an attempt to improve the
navy.
Outstanding among foes Of navy
building is George Lansbury, Labor
party leader. who said it means race
in sea armaments.
1T is one of the most terrible be-
trayals by all of us who fought in
the last war" he stated
The London News-Chronicle. leading

that it is unjustifiable "at this critical

tional incentive toward a race in arma-
ments"
