AMERICA'S ROLE
ANGLO-FRENCH PACT OUTCRY A LITTLE SICKENING. ( By Telegraph—Per Press Assn.—Copyright ) [ United Service. ] LONDON, Sept 16. “Britons would like to know why America is raising such an outcry about the so-called Anglo-French naval agreement,” says the .Sunday Chronicle. “While the details of the arrangement are not public property, the sustained attack by the American Press, aided by misguided fanatics in Britain, are being aimed at England and France. America’s navy is now greater than Britain’s in numbers, and much superior in naval aircraft. Further, what of the close naval association between America and Brazil! Why all this pretence of seeking peace and of being alarmed at Anglo-French pacts when America herself is going on with a huge naval programme? Against whom or what?
“America’s role of the only ‘honest broker’ is a little sickening to every other nation, particularly England and France, which are presumed to be diplomatically intriguing. America alone is the fair, honest, and pacific party. The world of facts does not support such unctuous assurance. What we want from Uncle foam is a little less soap and more open dealing!’’
