Because the naval front seems the most important current phase of the war already demands are being made in congress and among military leaders to speed up these schedules and make even more additions to the fleet. Protection of the sea lanes, to keep critical materials flowing to America from the Far East and to protect American shipping across the Atlantic to our Allies makes a strong navy a most vital factor in the war.
