If we contemplate the manner in which ilnring the early 3'ears of the contest, tlie strength of England was paral^'sed by tlie miserable parsimony which haii starved its naval and military forces in former years (as in 1888), we may well feel astonisliment. Dnring the course of this long continued strugj^le the British Xavy obtained a decisive superiority in every sea, and the British commerce gradually acquired an extension unparalleled in any former age of the world. " I believe that I have s...iiown above how the British Navy, when not starved, ensured the safety of the Nation, extended its trade, the tru. ' wealth of our Islands, its Colonies, etc. , etc. How barbarous the FrePich Republic and Empire were to our Trade, and below is what we are jtromised if we continue in a. Course of wickedly mad parsimony to the Xavy. The above mentioned, which has been my constant study through a long sea service, and my Tactical knowledge of Naval combats leave me no possible escape from the certainty that the least that can make the British Empire at all safe is to increase our battle ships to twice those of France, and the cruisers to thrice her cruisers, also that with the Navy as it is, defeat is certain and the ruin of our food supply and commerce is inevitable.
