voted
in favour
of

Govt’s.
programme
to build
warships
to
take
the
place
of obsolete
vessels.
Dis-
cussing
the
naval
estimates
in
the
House
of
Commons
tuday,
Lieat.
Col.
Amery, Parliamentary
Secretary
of
the
Admiralty,
announced
that
the
four
re-
placement
ships
Govt. proposed
to build
would
be
battle
cruisers
of
the
Hood
type armed
with
16
inch
guns,
design-
ed
to
obviate
the
need
of
larger
dock-
yards
than
at
present
exists.
He
de-
clined
to say
how many
guns
they would
carry,
on
the ground
that it was
not
cus-
tomary
to
give
such
mformation
in ad-
vance,
(ontending
that
there
was
no
element
of
challenge
or
provocation
in
this policy
of
replacing
obsolete
ships,
he said it
was
simply
a
volicy,
circum-
scribed within Jthe
narrowest
limits and
postponed
to
the
very
latest
date,
qon-
sistent
with the Empire’s
safety.
Allud-
ing
to
the
building
programme
of the
United
States
and
Japan,
Col.
Amery
argued thaf the Admiralty,
by proposing
the completion
of
only
these
four
ves-
sels,
was ilaying
it
open
to
the
charge
of accepting
the
risk
that
the
British
Navy
wauld
temporary
be
inferior
in
strength
to the
Navies
of other Powers,
but
the
Govt.
was
facing
this
risk
in
order
to avoid
any
step
tending
to
in-
vite fresh
competition
on the
eve
of
a
conference
for
disarmament.
The
ob-
ject of
the disarmament
conference,
he
said,
was
the
endeavour
to
secure
by
agreement
no
further
expansion
of
the
Navies
of
the
greatest
Naval
rowers,
but
as
it
was
qute
unlikely,
that
the
other Powers
participating
in
the
Con-
ference
would
offer
to
separate
the
ships
already
built
or
under
recon-
truction,
it
was
obvious
that
the
building
of
these
four
ships,
or
even
twice
their
number,
could
not
in
any
way
effect
the
problem
-before
the conference.
The
Secretary’s
state-
ment
was
followed
by
an
animated
discussion
involving
many
references
to the
relative
positions
of
Great
Brit-
ain, the United
States,
ana
Japan,
and
revealing
the
intense
interest
taken
in the
proposed
Washington
confereuce
Mr.
Winston
Churchill replying in
the
debate
for the Govt. made
reference
to
the big bujlding
programme
in both
the
United States
and Japan.
He contended
that
there could be
no
conceivable
reas-
on fora quarrel
with
either
of
these
countries.
Still, the fact
rem
ined
that
if
Great
Britain
delayed
another
year
the construction
of necessary
vital
units
she
would have
to
face
the
position
of
definite and perhaps
final naval
interior-
ity.
She
would
sink
to
a
third
Naval
Power
and
having
sunk
there,
might
never be able
to recover.
Col. Amery said
that the United States,
not counting four
battleships
of 32,000
tons
equipped
with
16 inch guns
which
were far more power-
ful
than
Great
Rritain’s-
latest
types,
would bave completed
in
1924
no
fewer
than
12 supreme
engines
of war,
each of
43,000
tons, yet Great
Britain
had
only
one ship building since
the battle
of Jut-
land, namely
the Hood,
which
was equip-
ped merely with fifteen inch guns.
There-
fore the programme
of repiacing four ob-
solete
boats
to be completed dii not
con-
tain any element
of challenge
or
provo-
cation.
Lady
Astor
d:clared
that
the
United
States
absolutely
is
earnest
in
saying they wanted
a
disarmament
con-
ference,
but like
Great
Britain they had
the right
of deciding
that
they
might
g 0 to
the
conference
as
a
first
class,
mot
a third class,
