BRITAIN'S SEA POWER.
THE 60 PER CENT MARGIN. MAINTAINED BY APMTRAXTT. GUARDING THE SEVEN SEAS. (By Catile.—Press Association.—Copyright.) LONDON", August 4. The naval correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph," after a careful review of tiie position, admits that the Admiralty is maintaining the 60 per cent standard. It is pure sophistry on the part of the critics to say that Britain is six ships short. The correspondent argues that the British fleet is becoming too domestic, which is not suitable to a. fighting force with a world wide responsibility. It is incumbent to resume our supremacy of all the seas and not the North Sea alone. The "Telegraph's" correspondent adds that the reassertion of our prestige will moan more ships. If the Dominions do not come forward, the Motherland must make further sacrifices.
