“NOT TO BE HUMBUGGED”

American Hypocrisy. BY BKITISH ADMIRAL. ARMAMENT CONFERENCE A “POLITICAL STUNT.” (Received January 12, at 8.10 p.m.) LONDON, January 11. Rear Admiral Ernest A. Taylor, who commanded the Renown on two voyages with the Prince of Wales, made a remarkable attack on America in a speech in London. He declared: “The sooner America knows we are not going to be humbugged, the better. Make no mistake about by words. I am attacking America. One can only hope America will abandon her attitude. ■ If we and the United States could only pull together, wc could rule the world and enforce peace. I believe the whole of the Armamnts Conference convened by America is a political stunt. I do not believe America went into it meaning to reduce armaments. ”
