SECOND TO BRITAIN
New Program Puts County
Well Ahead Of Japan,
Experts Believe.

Although the American Navy's an.
nounced policy Is - Navy second to
none." actually President Roosevelt's
program for naval building. announced
yesterday, will find this Nations Navy
below that OF Great Britain when
completed.
In the opinion of naval observers,
the new naval building program will
put the United States well ahead Of
Japan, providing she has not since
1896 constructed more vessels than the
Roosevelt administration has knowl-
edge Of. Japan has not ofncially
made known her naval strength since
1896.
A study Of President Roosevelt's S
proposals indicates the American
Navy will be built up 20 per cent above
the limitations laid down in the Lon
don and Washington naval treaties.
At present, the United States has a
greater tonnage Of warships that are
over age-obsolete, as gauged by treaty
standards-than has Great Britain.
AC NAAAAAAA6 PAO6i OIL dlAUuISCO yES~
terday is not so extensive as that upon
which Great Britain has launched.
Similarly, the American Government
does not possess so many recently CON-
structed vessels as does Great Britain.
Authorities said they seriously doubt
if the new program will bring the feet
up to the strength Of Great Britain.
Over-Ase Tonnage.
Just now. the United States is ahead
OF Japan in effective warships in COM
mission that are under age. but not
markedly 20. in the judgment of OBJ
servers. The United States has more
over-age tonnage than either Great
Britain or Japan, which means that
the Roosevelt administration is operat-
ing with fleet that is largely obsolete,
measured by treaty standards.
Japan has a modern fleet aggregat-
ing 69l ,395 tons: the United States a
grand total tonnage in this category OF
9l9.355. while Great Britain possesses
1.O76.l23 tons of the latest ships in
all categories.
Battleships are deemed to have a
useful life of 26 years from the time
OF their commissioning; cruisers are
considered under age until they reach
20 years; the span of effective life of
destroyers is l6 years and submarines
l3 years.
Other Side Of Picture.
The other side Of the picture Is that
Japan has only l22.O36 tons OF obso-
lete warships, Great Britain has lsO..
l55 tons, while the United States has
226.53O Warship tons that are over a3e.
as measured by the 1886 London treaty
which replaced pact of six years pre-
Vious.
Under the 1896 treaty. Great Britain.
France and the United States agreed
to over-age standards, limits Of size
OF battleships and guns. but no guam
titative limitation as to types Of vessel.
These three powers agreed to exchange
information regarding their warship
building
President Roosevelt's newest pro-
gram will build up auxiliaries in the
Navy in which the service has been
deficient. The latest Vinson measure
provides for 1900 additional officers
and 10000 enlisted men for the Navy
The Navy now has about s.84O officers
and 100000 enlisted men.
