Britain's Naval Reduction Gesture Unanswered
VISCOUNT JELLICOE URGES RETURN TO SAFETx. Received Sunday, 7 p.m. LONDOJN, Aug. 5.

Britain had new 50 cruisers and 150 destroyers, compared with 100 and 350 respectively in 1917. Her gesture in the direction of naval reductions remained unanswered, and it was time to think of ceasing such gestures and considering a return to safety.
