NAVAL STRATEGY.
(To the Eaitor.) Sir, —Under this heading there appeared in a recent local paper a cable message of advice by Admiral Lord Chars. Beresford. Speaking at the Salters' annual dinner, he insisted that success in war now depended upon the strategy of the navy, which must be kept up°as a condition of efficiency in war. They would then be able to pulverise an enemy. Let brotherly love continue, however. I do not wish to deal at present with the matter from this aspect; only permit mc to ask to whom is this important aefviee directed—any nation, or Britain alone? If so, why publish It broadcast. Is it wisdom to acquaint friend and foe alike of our weakness. Sauce for the goose, sauce for tho wander. Surely this in itself is a poor attempt at strategy; diplomacy nil.—l am, etc.. . .
