Nazis Build Bigger And Better Subs
 Capable Of Quick Transatlantic Trips
By MILTON BRONNER TEA Service Staff COrreznorsiIe

INEfkA 0CAVhCG 0N4AA GWAkVGHFWAAsAGAhu
 London, Jan. 23--While primarily Germany's sudden demand for parity in submarine tonnage with Great Britain is John Bulls headache, the chances are that before long Uncle Sam will begin to feel a throbbing in his own temples.
 There are two reasons for this: first, because Nazis are giving Am- erican plans for naval expansion as one of the causes of their own big ger navy program, and second, be- cause fleet of large ocean-going submarines will be as much threat to the American merchant marine as 1t will be to the British. A
 Adolf Hitler has often loved to dwell in his speeches upon the proof he gave of his pacific intentions by pointing to the naval pact he ne- gotiated with Britain in June, 1885
 In that pact it was agreed that Germany would limit its navy to 35 percent of that of the British Empire. The percentage was also to apply to categories. That is, if Britain had 100000 tons of battle ships, Germany would not exceed 35000 tons; if Britain had 50,000 tons of destroyers, Germany would have 17,500 tons, etc.
 The one exception regarding sub- marines. Germany reserved the right, if she thought circumstances justified 1t, to claim the power to have 100 per cent of the British submarine tonnage.
 The other day she made exactly that claim. As usual, when Ger many wants to do more. rearming, the Nazis make Russia the bogey.
 When German naval officers dis c,tssed the matter with British naval officers-as provided by the pact the Nazis set forth that they were compelled" to build more and big ger submarines because of the vast number Soviet Russia had con- structed. This, they claimed, was a menace to Germany in the Baltic Sea.
 In the first place, neither Ameri- can nor British naval authorities have any knowledge of 8 huge Russian submarine fleet. In the next place, and more cogently, 8 sub marine menace is not met by a counter-submarine force. If Ger many were genuinely afraid of this bogey Russian submarine fleet, her remedy would be more swift destroy CTS, cruisers and small, high-pow- cred boats designed especially to hunt down arid attack submarines.
 An officer of the staff of the German Baltic command, writing recently in the Koelnische zeitung, brings Uncle Sam into the picture. He speaks of the unprecedented scale of Americas proposed naval rearmament. The only reason, he claims, for the establishment of an American squadron of great strength in the Atlantic is as threat to Fascist states. He doubts whether
