declare war on Germany as promptly
as she did in 1917. 1t isn't that the gov

in the way of military equipment and
virtually no money.
The declaration of war is considered
essential to control the fifth column
There are Germans and Italians here.

on the side of the United States there
will be no legal excuse for herding the
enemy aliens into concentration camps.

Haiti is small republic and the num-
ber of Axis sympathizers is proportion

a diminutive island or control station
on the flight deck together with the re-

The United States Wasp, on the other
hand, generally continues the American
principle of large carriers. 1t has 14,7OO
tons displacement and an overall length
of 739 feet. The control superStructure

Seven in Commission.
The Wasp gives us the seventh carrier
to be in commission. Next will follow
the Hornet and then the Essex class of
IL ships.
The Soryu is the seventh in the Jap
anese list, with two to follow, believed
to be in the 14000-ton class. The re-
ported use of gyrostabilizers on the
Soryu is not entirely novelty. Our
old Langley was said to have had one,
and gyrostabilization has been tried on
at least one American destroyer.
japanese destroyers continue their
aping in appearance of their big sisters,
the cruisers. They still maintain stress
on employment of the torpedo, however
The Samidare, one of 10 in the Sigure
class. is 1851 feet in length and carries,
besides its complement of five 5-inch
guns, two machine guns and eight quad
ruple-mount torpedo tubes.
The United States Benson, first OF
the new Mayo series of destroyers, is
unusually we'll provided for spirited at

and represents a reversion to the two

Seagoing Submarines Big.
The japanese I-8 submarine is an
other example of the submarine which
challenges the destroyer in weight. 1t
is somewhat contemporary with the
Sarge (American) vessels commissioned
in 1899: The I-8 belongs to what the
japanese refer to as the improved, ocean,
going class One of the largest sub
marines ever built in Japan, 1t is rated
as making II knots on the surface and
9 knots when submerged.
Although the new American "T" class
Tautog does not equal the I-8 in some
characteristics, the Tautog is rated high
ly efficient as to maneuverability and
torpedo discharge.
Merely to recite the respective num-
bers and mountings of guns, tonnages
and armor thicknesses, is, of course, not

ties of the vessels.

enough to stand off an invasion from
the sea, to say nothing of invasion from
the air.
In Santo Domingo, as matter OF
fact, the pro-Axis element is large, much
more so than in Haiti, where the link
with France makes for pro-British SYM
pathy. Members of the British Legation
in Santo Domingo say that IS per cent
of the people in that republic are hop
ing for German victory. Americans
who are in close touch with the people
say that sympathy is divided equally.
Serious minded Haitians are convinced
that Germany knows all she needs to
know about Haiti. They believe that
many resident Germans and Italians
have their posts assigned to them. These
Haitians insist that it will be important
to break the pattern by getting these
people segregated and under guard. In
formed spokesmen say Haiti would
round up its aliens tomorrow if the
United States were to initiate such action
in the United States.

ish wanted more numerous lighter, g.
inch gun ships.
While the objectives of the japanese
and American schools of naval design,
generally, are identical, the means may
vary Initiative as the Japanese are
reputed to be, there are definite de-
partures from the Western powers in
structure of ships and, seemingly, in
theories of naval warfare.
Japans aircraft carriers largely are
OF the fush-deck pattern, with side
trunks for smoke. Nippon's battleships,
while employing hulls with layout not
materially unlike contemporaries, de-
velop superstructures particularly dis
tinctive in their high. pagoda-like fore
heavy appearance.
Indeed these foremasts, as in the
Kongo and Ise, would seem to be vul-
nerable targets exposing the personnel
to the dangerous splintering effects of
bombs.
United States Firepower Greater.
1t should be emphasized that the
drawing does not contrast the latest
United States battleship with the latest
japanese battleship. The North Caro-
lima was commissioned this year and
Japans Nagato was built in 1919
A better comparison might be between
the North Carolina with the Imperial
Navys Nissin or Takamatu, rated over
10000 tons, which are supposed to be
completed in the current year. But there
are no available pictures of these ships
for reference.
The Nissin and Takamatu, mounting
nine l6-inch guns, are more likely to
balance with our North Carolina types
However, it has been declared that the
firepower of the North Carolina will sur
pass that of the Nissin by some 900
pounds.
The Mutu, which was completed in
1920, and the Nagato are of 80, ,720 tons
slightly shorter in length than the North
Carolina and have beam of 95 feet
against the North Cardinals 108 feet
Despite the threat indicated by the
Nagato's torpedo tubes, our later bat
tleships eliminate the torpedo from their
armament The North Cardinals fore
mast appears an achievement in simpl-
| fed design with reduced target area and
minimum of splinterable accessories
Both are important considerations in this
! day of dive bombing.
japanese Carriers Smaller.
Regarding the cruisers, Japan COM
| pleted the Atago March 80, 1882, and
| the ship offers the interesting concen-
tration of three forward turrets. With
an overall length of $50 feet and ton
mage of $3.50 it seems to compare fairly
well in armament with our new heavy
cruiser, the Wichita, which is rated al
1924 tons, has an overall length of Ga
feet, has notable anti-aircraft defenses

|ROWING tension in the Pacific once
~ again has centered attention on
the fleets of the United States and Japan
and the comparable strength and ton
mage of their fighting ships.
For if war should develop between
these powers. the first and perhaps de-
cisive blows would be struck by the
navies. And victory in naval encounter
may be less a matter of personal valor
than the design of ship, the disposition
of its armor, the weight of its broad
sides and the placing of its turrets.
The accompanying sketch is intended
to give some contrasting elements of
the respective navies. perspectively scaled
so that some sense of relative proportion
may be determined. The comparisons
made are mostly of older ships, those
long in service, which form the backbone
of both fleets.
While secrecy enshouds details of the
United States Navy's latest construction,
it is known that the United States is
building II battleships in addition to
the IS already in service. OF the new
ones, six, including the North Carolina,
are of $4,000 tons; four are believed to
be around $4,000 tons and seven, not
yet started, may reach $1,000 tons each.
Ten Battleships in Service.
Japan has 10 battleships In service and
is believed to be building eight others
of 10000 tons or over, although the Jap
anese have been ultra secretive about the
program. Little is known of the 10 or
more japanese cruisers in the building,
but of the 54 American cruisers building
or ordered, at least five are to be super
battle cruisers of $4,000 or more tons.
The building programs of both nations
are changing the picture so rapidly that
the newest of the ships cannot be COM
pared because nothing is disclosed about
them.
The Pacific is broad arena and in
event of war, an arena which must be
crossed with ships-ships to fight, to
transport men and to carry supplies.
For 20 or more years the naval design
ing staffs of the United States and Japan
have worked as though in grim but
silent contest to be the first to complete
the ultimate in ship for designed
mission.
The cost has involved millions of dol
lars in experiments alone. The race for
seapower has mounted rapidly toward a
climax since Japan in 1895 abrogated
the last major treaty limiting the ton
mage and types of navies, and especially
since the European war lifted the lid
entirely on naval construction of all
kinds
Distinctive Super Structures.
In a different form, the struggle went
on between 1922 and 1885 when navies
were limited by treaty. 1t was carried
on by diplomats and around conference
tables in Washington and London. One
diplomatic engagement won by the
United States before 1880 was the right
to build 18 heavy cruisers of 10000 tons
each, armed with 8-inch guns. The Brit
