NAVY SUPREME
IN FOUR YEARS
IF OTHERS (SUIT
BY COL. WINFIELD JONES
WASHINGTON, March 3.—.(Special
Correspondence).—'Agitation for dis
armament, or at least a reduction of
naval construction, has reached large
proportions, not only in this country
but abroad. The reason for this is
plain—a desire for reduction of the
crushing taxes that are caused by up
keep of armies and navies.
This propaganda naturally leads to
discussion of the naval strength of
the various first-class powers, partic
ularly the United States, Great Brit
ain, and Japan.
Accurate statistics ot tne strength
of the three nations named are hard
to obtain, but enough is known to
give a fair survey of the compara
tive naval strength of the three
great powers.
The British navy still holds first
place among the navies of the world.
The United States, next after Eng
land, has gained the place of second
naval power in the world. Next is
Japan, Germany, once the second
naval power, as a result of the war,
has been stripped of her navy, hasn’t
got as many warships as even the
Russian Bolsheviki.
In 1914, before the World war be
gan, the British had twenty-one mod
ern battleships and ivere then biuld
ing twelve others. In 1919, after the
armistice, Great Britain had thirty
five completed modern battleships.
In 1914 the United States had nine
modern battleships and was then;
building five. In 1919 the United i
States possessed seventeen modern j
battleships and was building six
more, which when completed gives a
total of twenty-three.
In 1914 Japan had one modern bat
tleship and was building three. In
1919 Japan had seven battleships and
was building two.
The figures quoted do not show the
number of submarines, battle cruis
ers, ordinary cruisers, and other
naval vessels, but the proportion of
these auxiliary ships, and also battle
cruisers, was about the same in the
three nations, compared with the bat
tle ships.
According to both British and
American authorities, in 1924—only
three years away—the United States
will be ahead of both Great Britain
and Japan in number of first class
battleships and naval tonnage. In
that year the United States will have
thirty-five battleships; Great Britain
will have thirty-six, and Japan will
have seventeen. But as only eight
of the American ships will be sec
ond class, while eighteen of the
British ships will be second class,
the American naval strength, in
capital ships, will be far ahead of
that of Great Britain.
Naval tonnage in 1924 will be as
follows; United States, 1,150,650;
Great Britain, 883,296; Japan, 497,
950.
These figures are not subject to
change because it takes three years
to build a first or second class dread
naught. If Great Britain or Japan
were now to lay down double the
number of ships they have on
the stocks the United States could
still keep the lead it will have in
1924 by simply starting construction
of an equal number, as laid down by
Japan and the British. In other words
the United States is destined to be
in a few years, the leading naval
power of the globe, if the present
building program is not halted by
anything so senseless, many observ
ers here believe, as the Borah resolu
tion to stop all naval construction.
A study of the figures for 1924
shows that in that year the United
States will be nearly a third more
powerful in naval tonnage than Great
Britain, and more than twice as pow
erful as Japan. American naval ton
nage in that year will be almost as
great as that of Great Britain and
Japan combined. The American navy
in 1924 will have arrived at the
proud position once held by Great
Britain—that is a “two standard
power,” meaning that the American
navy will be almost as powerful as
the combined navies of the next two
strongest nations. The “two stand
ard power” navy position was long
held by Great Britain, but the United
States is now headed in the direc
tion, where, in three years, our navy
will take the proud position on the
seven seas once held by England—
unless the Borah or some similar
resolution stops the goal of American
naval supremacy now in sight.
Great Britain has suspended her
building program. One reason given
is that there is doubt as to the
value of battleships in the next war.
The real reason probably is that
Great Britain is unable to keep pace
—M
with the United States in building
new naval ships.
The United States is now building
Sixteen great battleships and battle,
cruisers. Japan is building or pre-!
paring to build sixteen battleships or I
battle cruisers.
Patriotic Americans hope that the
Borah resolution will fail.
