London, 16 June. The British newspaper Westminster Gazette commented in
a leading article the articles earlier published in another newspaper the
Morning Post dealing with the German naval threat in the North Sea. The paper
denied that the British naval policy was not scientific and inefficient and
nothing more as a hobby. Even if German had a complete plan that would not
suggest that England had not such a plan. The Westminster Gazette didn’t agree
with the Morning Post that the German naval organisation was superior
because she was lead by just one man, something which was impossible in
England. The first newspaper thought even that such a naval dictator (1) was
completely out of the question in England.
Note
1. Presumably the German grand admiral Alfred Peter Friedrich von Tirpitz
(Küstrin 19 March 1849-Ebenhausen 6 March 1930).
