I have no such fears as those expressed by the hon. Member for Greenwich (Sir Hamilton Benn), but I think it would reassure the public enormously if the Admiralty would publish their latest information as to the numbers of men in the American Navy and the Japanese Navy for the coming year. There was a statement in the press a few days ago that the American numbers were to be limited to about 55,000 men.
