Germany is now engaged in tU desperate attempt to break
ihe sea power of England. It- has long been: held'by military
and naval authorities that the power that controls the seas is
usually the one that’wins the-wars. **
Admiral A.lfred Malms- published a book in 1890 calls'll
"The ■ Influence, of Sea Power upon -History”,*-"which did
a great deal to establish this belief. It' led nations fti give far
more attention to naval development and their battle fleets.
The allied powers crushed Germany in the World war large*

th(Hr submarines and their tremendous air fleet. If they could
keep on at this rate, they might win the War.
The British have great staying power. Though sofnetjmes
slow In act, they have a wav of “muddling through”, as
they put it, and winning wars. When their great battleship,
the' Royal Oak was sunk at Scapa T'h/tfr, they had perhaps
felt over confident that in that well protected harbor, that-

Will submarines and airplanes* break the control of the
sea established by battleships and their auxiliary craft? The
Germans evidently thjitk'ko. If thnj- is so, the United States
will have to* modify its defense preparUtlofis. It. bad been
thouVht up.to a recent date that a strong navy could defend
itself against submarines, and that anti-aircraft guns amt
plenty of airplanes Could repel attacks from above.
