Edtlsteln Washington (U.R) Naval lrs sons of the European war will lead inevitably to modifications in many aspects of general stra tegy at sea, experts agree here. These same lessons also will be reflected in changes in con struction. Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison made the first pronouncement on this aspect recently when he declared large warships would require streng thening of their superstructure for protection against large bombs. As 'for strategy, the hit-and-run type which has been brought to its highest develop ment in the Scandinavian con flict,, has emphasized the im portance of certain classes of warcraft. Experts said that the Euro pean war will have only limited application to United States naval strategy because of the vastly different problems in volved. The United States fleet patrols an entire ocean, the Pa cific, and guards only one en closed naval area, the Carib bean. Objectives Stated The main problem of the U. S. navy is to prevent any pos sible enemy from approaching the continental limits of the na tion, and to intercept and des troy its foe, which must ap proach by sea before it draws near the mainland. For this reason Oahu, most strategic Island of the Hawaiian group, has been converted into a fortress, and Pearl Harbor, 3.000 miles out in the Pacific, has been made into the most powerful naval base in the en tire ocean. But in the comparatively new defense areas of Alaska and the Caribbean there are problems which resemble those encoun tered In the European war. . There are narrow sea pas sages which can be mined, har brrs which can be stealthily ap proached, and landings which can be attempted secretly. The experiences in Norway, in the Baltic and in the North sea offer reference to possible hostilities in the Caribbean and in Alaskan waters, experts said. Stealthy blows by small nav al and aviation units have fea tured the European war at sea thus far, naval observers point ed out. Submarines, small tor pedo motorboata, aircraft and destroyers have carried a major part of the offensive effort. Haakon In Norway London, May 23. iiP) A spokesman for the Norwegian legation declared today definite assurances had been received that King Haakon, Crown Prince Olav and their Norwegian min isters still were in northern Norway and that the govern ment had no Intention of leaving the country.
