DEPLORED BY MR. DANIELS
NO SUSPICIONS BETWEEN BRITAIN AND AMERICA.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPIRIQHT.)
(AUSTRALIAN-HEW ZEALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, Ist May.
Mr. Josephus Daniels (United States Secretary to the Navy) was the guest of honour at a luncheon at which H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught presided. Mr. Daniels sajd that it would be a calamity worse than a crime if the United States and Britain entered into naval competition. It would not be for the world's good if any nation possessed a Navy capable of dominating the world. Britain, with her great Empire, needed a great Navy, as did America, with her huge coastline. Neither country need entertain suspicions regarding the other. There must never be competition between Britain and America. On the contrary, he felt assured that there would be a combination of navies, as there had been during the war.
