Show SAYS AMERICANS CAN BRING CHANGE Naval Erpert Declares German Law of Sea is Ruinous and can Be Stopped. LOXDOX, March 10. " Americans, if they will, can create new conditions at sea and convince Germany that the German law of necessity is ruinous." So writes Archibald Hurd, the naval expert, in the London Daily Telegraph. He adds: "Let us anticipate that Americans will stop work on all large ships, concentrate con-centrate on the destroyers now in hand and put in action a programme of 2000 standardized patrol boats to be turned out almost as swiftly as are Ford motor mo-tor cars. "Were American industry devoted to such a task, the delivery of destroyers destroy-ers would begin in two or three months. After that American firms would send to sea such vessels much faster thaja Germany can produce submarines." |
