BRITAIN AND AMERICA.
NO FEAR OF CONFLICT. In a leading article on the naval negotiations, the London Times says that the dominating consideration from the British viewpoint is that, even if the negotiations break down and America increases her already huge building programme, Britain need not be disturbed, because it is impossible to imagine any contingency bringing the British and American navies into conflict. Canada and Australia were quite as closely interested in the balance or Pacific power as Britain, and therefore no solution of the naval problem was possible that did not involve their consent and co-operation. This did not mean that the Empire and the United States desired to form a common front against Japan, but both Britain and America were intimately concerned to maintain the pnnciples of equality, of security and integrity in China. If Japan continued to challenge these, she must ultimately find herself face to face not only with Britain and America, but with other countries as well.
