“KEEP COOL AND KEEP OUT.” ADMIRAL’S ADVICE TO BRITAIN. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) < Received February 22, 2.25 p.m. LONDON, Feb. 21. “Keep cool and keep out.”—This is the Daily Mail’s editorial advice to Britain in connection with intervention in Shanghai. In a letter to the Times, Admiral Sir Sydney Fremantle, Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff, 1918-19, warns of the danger' of adopting the League of Nation’s Union proposal to attempt an economic blockade of Japan, which would quickly develop into. mainly , a naval war and 75 per cent, of the operations would fall on Britain’s shoulders. Britain would thus drift into a firstclass war against her old tried ally Under disadvantageous conditions. The onus of dealing with neutral rights'' which would be claimed by America and Russia, would fall chiefly on Britain' with far-reaching results, which could only be contemplated with the utmost apprehension.
