Unless the reduction in battleships is undertaken there seems to he no large economy in view, and one is dis- posed to ask why our Government have selected the one type of ships which are needed for the protection of our trade for so drastic a measure oi reduction. The argument in the First lords speech that the drop

from 7D to 50 cruisers is due to the.

signing oi the Keliog Pact is, not con- vincing. War was no more imminent in i927 than it is now. The British delegation in Geneva certainly did not contemplate in 1827 that either America or Japan, or any of the large Powers ,was likely to go to war. The Kellogg Pact merely embodied
