In a leading article we have argued the need of

a more intensive Naval policy. As we write it seems likely that there will be much public discussion of an article vehemently advocating the some thing by Mr. Churchill. We must point out that this article, a large part of which was telegraphed from America and printed in the Morning Poet of Thursday, is not new. It appeared originally in the Sunday Pictorial, and was discussed in the Spectatorin a leading article on June 30th, 1917. We welcome again now, as we did then, Mr. Churchill's conversion to the necessity of an intensive policy. Bid we must protest against Mr. Churchill (who was not Minister

of Munitions, by the way, when ho wrote the article) being allowed to take any part in the innermost strategical discussions of the Cabinet.
