FUTURE NAVAL RIVALRY.
LORD NORTHCLIFFE'S VIEW. REPLY TO MR. DANIELS. Times. LQNDON, Dec. 21. Lord Northcliffe, replying to the American Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Josephus Daniels, reiterates the impossibility of any naval combination against the United States. He says Britain would welcome any action by the League of Nations Or other association of nations with the United States to form a buttress against the evil of naval competition. He urges" the senselessness of competitive naval building, particularly now when the best minds are at variance as regards future sea fighting. Lord Northcliffe adds that he intends to continue to investigate the question of big ships or small until he ascertains the best protection for our commerce which now, and in the future, will be the sole object of Britain's navy.
