BRITAIN AND AMERICA
NO NEED FOR NAVAL COMPETITION. MR DANIELS’S SPEECH. (By Telegraph, —tress Assn. —Copyright) (Australian <fe N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, May 1, Received May 2, 7.40 p.m. Mr Josephus Daniels, U.S. Secretary of the Navy, was a guest of a luncheon at which the Duke of Connaught presided. Mr Daniels said that it would be a calamity worse than a crime if the United States and Britain entered into competition in naval construction. It was not for the world’s good if any national possessed a navy capable of dominating the world. Britain with her great Empire needed a great navy as did America with her huge coastline. Neither country need entertain suspicions regarding the other. There must never be competition between Britain and America. On the contrary he felt assured that there would be combination of the navies as there had been during the war.
