DEMOCRACIES' LEAD
POWER ON THE SEA
TONNAGES COMPARED
WASHINGTON, November 25.
Naval intelligence officers have completed tables showin fa that the great Powers, Japan excluded, are at present building 1,82^000 tons of ships. They already possess, including Japan's 1936 figures, 6,700,000 tons, of which Britain has 2,133,000 and the United States 1,618,000.
Adding France's total, this gives the democracies a total of 4,545,000 tons, compared with 1,253,000 for Italy and Germany—a three-to-one advantage, or, if Japan's 898,000 tons are included, a two-to-one advantage for the democracies.
