THE NAVAL FUTURE
COMPETITION DEPRECATED. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Assn.) Received May 2, 7.40 p.m. LONDON, May 1. Mr Josephus Daniels, Secretary for the Navy in the United States' Government, was a guest at a luncheon at which the Duke of Connaught presided. Mr Daniels said it would be a calamity worse than a crime if the United States and Britain entered the naval competition. It-would not be for the world's good if any nation possessed a navy capable of dominating the world. England with her great Empire needed a great navy, as did America with her huge coastline. Neither country need' entertain suspicions regarding the other, and there must, never be competition between England and America. On the contrary, he felt assured that there would be a combination of navies, as there had been during the war.
