NAVAL SUPREMACY.
BRITISH EDITOR'S STATEMENT.
:Elec Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.', !Australian and N.Z. Cable Association." NEW YORK, Feb. 10. Henry Nevinson,, editor of the London Nation, in a speech on the Armament Conference, made tho astounding statement that if the 1916 naval programme of the United States had continued, there doubtless would have been war between the United Slates and England. He added: "We cannot endure to think of any other country being dominant on the seas. It is most surprising to me that public opinion in England was not aroused over the proposal to equalise the fleets of Britain and the United Slates. I am not such a _ fool as to say that we should have wiped you out, but, at tho least, we would have had a good try at you."
