Cabinet Denounces Politics in Defense Plans
The piece argues that Britain, with a strong navy since 1888, remains Europe’s top power until the Royal Navy is broken. It cites Hitler’s military might, the waiving of French forces, and the need for a new U.S. sea power to counter a potential German victory. It warns that American preparation is essential as a second navy could cost about 5 billion dollars to replace Britain’s reach in the Atlantic.
