the

to tranquilize

London,
March 27th.—The
Govern-
ont
Leaders
have
been
"asked
very
1
~tedly
why the
country
should
build
tw
post-Jutland
Battleships,
as allowed
in the
Washington
Naval
Treaty.
One
line of eriticism,
based
on
Governments
admission,
is that there will be_no
fight-
ing use
for such
vessels,
a-
leashfor
ten
years,
and by thattime
the ships
will be
obsolete.
Other
riticisms
based
on
the
cry,
are that battleships
have
out lived
their
usefulness,
and
that
a
9,000,000
pound vessel coald
be
easily
destroyed
with one
uppéer
