A WARNING RAISED.
BRITAIN’S REQUIREMENTS. NAVY LEAGUE PRESIDENT SPEAKS (Australian Press Association.) (Received Oct. 9, 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 8. “We have no desire to disparage Mr MacDonald’s and Mr Hoover’s attempts to obliterate Anglo-American naval rivalry, but it cannot be too plainly stated that the time has not yet arrived when the British naval coat can be cut to America’s cloth, for the storms from which our garment shelters us do not threaten American shoulders,” declares Lord Linlithgow, the Navy League's President, in the course of a letter to the Times. He states: “Our requirements in lighting ships do not hear any relation to and cannot he compared with those of other Powers, and should be determined solely on standards of our security and the due dSicharge of our manifold responsibilities.”
