Naval Supremacy

The S3,446,585,144 appropriation
recommended for the Navy by the
House Appropriations Committee is
designed to speed construction of
the two-ocean, three-fleet Navy
which America must have to meet
the potential threat of expanding
axis sea power. As aid Is being rushed
to England in the effort to sustain
her in her resistance against the
very combination Of aggressors
which menaceS our own peace and
security, our navy yards and arsenals
are accelerating work on the 729
new ships which are included in
our emergency construction pro-
gram. If the British Navy should
be eliminated as our ally on the
seas, those aggresSors-to be specific,
Germany, Italy and Japan-could
mobilize tripartite fleet far greater
in strength than anything that we
now possess. AS of January l, &C
cording to the naval high command,
the combined tonnage of the Ger
man, Italian and japanese NavieS
was 1,835,000, as compared with our
own tonnage Of 1,250,OOO. If the
French fleet were added, the axis
strength would be much greater.
Today we have fifteen battleships
to a tripartite total of twenty, six
aircraft carriers to eight for the axis,
thirty-seven cruisers to seventy-five
for the axis, 159 destroyers to 271
for the axis and 105 submarines to
284 for the axis. Within the next two
months our new $4,000 ton battle
ships, the North Carolina and the
Washington, will be commissioned.
bringing our capital ship total to
seventeen. The appropriation hear
ingS disclosed that we are building,
In addition, six fast and powerful
battle cruisers, similar to those which
japan is said to have under construc-
ton. Japan is scheduled to commits
sion two big battleships this year,
which would raise the axis total to
twenty-five. BY January 1, 1e43,
we will have eighteen capital ships
against twenty-eight for the tri-
partite alliance. At that time we
will have seven aircraft carriers in
commission, forty-five cruisers, PIG
destroyers and 1873 submarines. 1t is
estimated that by 1943 the axis will
have eight aircraft carriers, 101
cruisers, 325 destroyers and 500 sub
marines.
Britain has sixteen battleships in
commission and probably will add
three more late this year or early
in 1912, barring unforeseen delays.
If two of these new ships are COM
miSsioned this year, Britain and the
United States will have a total of
thirty-flve capital ships against the
axis twenty by the end of the year.
AS long as this naval superiority
continues, America will feel reason
ably secure. These figures show how
vital it is to American safety that
Britain should carry on-that her
fleet should remain an active bull
wark against axis naval power.
Meanwhile, we will be making head
way on our two-ocean Navy, which,
by 1946 or 1947, will be unquestion-
ably the greatest naval force in the
world-with a battleShip line of
thirty-two ships. Once that formi-
dable fleet comes into being, America
will be in position to defend her
self successfully against almost any
combination of enemy sea power
that can be envisioned today.

specific proposals the r. N. Z. c.

With the country engaged in a gi-
gantic rearmament effort, it is to
be hoped that Congress will take no
action at this time to extend exist
ing Federal controls over business in
a way that might discourage private
enterprise. Consideration of pro-
posals of this kind should be deferred
until after the present emergency
and should then be weighed in
terms of the needs and problems of
our postwar economy.

To the Editor Of Ths osar:
What appears 10 be fast becoming .

motorist Is subjected to the narrowing

refrigerators at will seemed TO have an
unusual gift Of intelligence and human
understanding, so much 30 that his sd-
miring friends said he was more human

Catching fish from neighborhood
pools, digging moles out of the ground,
drinking out of a spigot in kitchen or
bathroom, making regular trips to meet
his owners automobile each evening,
following his master around like dog,
are just few of the many interesting
and unusual things he did.

LOS ANGELES, June 4.-The

Blond jam will roll tonight in
singles only. Tournament officials

pounds lighter than standard.
The pins, however, must be of
regulation weight-slightly over
8 pounds.

do much more than lift a ball.
So, nonchalantly. jam stepped

more than a little bearing on how

No sir, none of us are gifted with
foresight, but we do know what is
going on and where the best fishing
is to be found with favorable con-

others interested in the game. And
after all, fishing for fun isn't gagged
by the size of the catch, but in what

Well known shippers at many

the Coast Guard or with the Navy.
Baymen are working on defense

there will be a noticeable shortage
of the normal facilities that anglers

and in increased expense of opera
ton. In order to pay these boat
captains more without passing the
cost on to anglers, the minimum
rate OF week ends will prevail
throughout the week. In other
words, parties should consist of
seven, instead of five, persons in
order to keep the charge of rs
cents per person per hour for a
4-hour trip.
Increase Appears Justified.
SolomonS has one of the largest
fleets of charter boats on Chesa-
peake Bay. There is no doubt
about the individual boats being
larger, finer and better equipped
than are to be found at any other
bay port. Seven persons on any of
them could not be counted a crowd
by any stretch of the imagination,
for they can carry Is to 20.
We believe they are justified in
an increase beyond what they ask
adding two persons to the party to
work to the best advantage. We're
for them-hook, line and sinker.
With their modern boats and up
to-date equipment, their rates still
are the most reasonable to be had
from one end of the Chesapeake to
the other.
