BRITON ADVISES LS, 10 BULD CRUISERS “Future Will Take Care of It- self,” He Says, Commenting on Borah Proposal. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. “Build your 15 cruisers, take the ‘British propaganda complex' out of American naval discussion, and the fu- ture—including ‘freedom of the seas'— will take care of itseif.” Thus spoke to the writer a distinguished Briton in Washington who was asked to com- ment on Senator Borah's proposal to 2 the construction of. American cruisers until there has béen an at- tempt to recodify maritime law at an international conference. The person- wxe quoted is in position to reflect au- wioritative British opinion The Summer or Fall of 1929, when won administrations will be in office at %oth Washington and London, is named a5 the moment when Anglo-American maval questions ought to be approach- avle from a fresh angle. President Hoover’s regime will not have been in- stalled very long before the British general elections will take place. It is well within the range of possibilities that the naval issue may figure con- spicuously in the parliamentary cam- paign which will be fought out in Say, June or July. According to the present outlook, the existing Baldwin Conservative government will go to the country in a contest against a Liberal- Labor coalition, in which David Lloyd George and Ramsay MacDonald, both former prime ministers, will be the re- spective leaders, Borah Quotes From Periodical. In his speech in the Senate Thurs- day, pleading for an attempt to estab- lish the “freedom of the seas” before further expansion of the United States Navy, Senator Berah dwelt at length upon the changing sentiment in Great Pritain regarding maritime law. The | foreign relations chairman quoted the following paragraphs from a recent number of the liberal Nation: “An able English writer, discussing the American spokesman’s concluding speech at the abortive Coolidge naval conference in Geneva, drew the foilow- ing conclusion: ‘Reading between the lines, it is fairly clear that what lay behind American obstinacy on the question of the 8-inch guns was—at least in large measure—a fixed de- termination to challenge, in any future war at sea, the unlimited interference with neutral commerce, which was an essential feature of the British blockade of Germany. *“This does not, in our opinion, over- state the case. If ever again we at- tempt to exercise belligerent rights at sca, whether in execution of the covenant or otherwise, we shall have to reckon with that ‘fixed determina- tion’ to which the above-mentioned writer refers. It would seem wiser on every ground to reckon with it in ad- vance of any such contingency, by coming to a clear agreement with the United States and other powers on the definition of sea law. « “But that is not all. There is a big difference in kind between what we stand to lose and what we stand to gain. We stand to lose in the power to exert economic pressure on other peoples—a weapon of offense, and, if it ever operates effectively, a very cruel one. We stand to gain in the security of our own people from starva- tion. Is not this latter object one which we should rate higher than the former, even from a narrowly self-in- terested standpoint?” Lord Cecil May Lead Britons. ‘The expectation at Washington is that Lord Cecil tbetter known in this country as Lord Robert Cecil) is ready to take the lead in reconciling the British viewpoint about rights at sea ‘with,the attitude of the United States. It was just about a year ago when Borah first brought up his freedom-of- the-seas plan, that the British Con- _servative statesman, who helped to fashion the League of Nations, ex- pressed himself forcibly on the subject. He said: “Great Britain ought to let Uncle Bam know that, if Americans desired ‘it, we should be quite ready to discuss the whole question of rights at sea, just as we should be equally prepared to discuss schemes of internas tional arbitration and the outlawry cf war. Like limitations of armament, such & discussion would be a step lead- | ing to the peace mind and not to the ! war mind.” British representatives in Washing- | ton are confident that the recent Sen- ate debate will make a profound impres- sion in London and throughout th: Empire. Britons are aware of the high | status Senator Borah enjoys with President-elect Hoover. They seem prepared for a vigorous Hoover-Borah drive along the lines which the Senate foreign relations chairman laid dowa last week. Although the British know, Irom Hoover’s acceptance speech, that he is strongly in favor of an adeguatz American Navy, they believe he raflects in this country the 'feeling ‘vhich is| gathering momentum in Great Britain. ‘That feeling is that “the admiralty outlook” has got to be scrapped to make way for a viewpoint more in tune with Britain’s present-day position in the world. Lord Cecil, it will be re-| called, disavowed the procedurs of the ! British delegation at thc Geneva con- | ference, because—as it has been de- | scribed—"strategy was permitted to pre- | vail over policy.” Says England Unable to Compete. Men who are facing the Anglo-Ameri- can naval crisis, both in London and Washington, understand thoroughly that the milk in the coconut is Great Brit- ain’s utter inability to wage a naval building competition with the United States. That is why the British at the ‘Washington conference in 1922 sur- rendered their age-old supremacy at sea. ‘They surrendered it in terms of capital ships (battleships and battle cruisers) because the United States had in course of construction a program which John Bull could not equal with- out back-breaking burdens for his tax- payers. There is every reason to be- lieve that the moment the British are confronted with an American cruiser program actually in building progre such as the 15-ship plan now befq the Senate, they will be ready to talk both limitation and maritime law, as | they were when Uncle Sam had steel battleships—not blue prints—to argue with seven years ago. The popularity of the policy and the growth of pacifism in the United States have combined to & persuade many Britishers that they “economy” I B; SHIP BILL TO BE Annual Meeting Three Days to Open Here | Tuesday Night.

He was interrupted by questions from Senators Wheeler and Brookhart, who are against the bill. Senator Hale was also quizzed closely by Senator Wheeler as to just what cruisers it was p! to “replace.” Senator ‘Wheeler insisted these old cruisers had been “replaced” several times.

Questioned about the word “legal” penned upon the check, the pastor- bookkeeper replied it was there because that “was the best way I could think of to designate the expenditure.” It was before a crowd that far exceeded the limited seating capacity of the com- mittee’s special chambers in a down- town office building that the first move in the investigation thus was made today. * As ‘the committee, charged by the legislature to “disclose facts that will either vindicate Judge Hardy or give grounds for impeachment proceedings” adjourned until Monday, it curtly teld Mrs. McPherson that her proposed tour of Canada rmust be delayed.

Copyright, 1929, PARIS, January 26.—The debates in { the United States Senate on the pro- | an airplane carrier to protect the com- ! merce of the United States—that is to { parity with or even superiority to the | British Navy—dominates for the mo- | ment the entire international political situation. { People of every nation feel that ;somethlng is happening at Washington of the whole world. Europe remem- bers its history. It remembers that Britain, by destroying every powerful rival that arose, first Spain, then Hol- land, then France, then Germany, has | “ruled the waves” nearly four cen- | turies. ‘The United States takes its idea of naval parity with Britain as a matter, of course, but Europe considers it nothing more or less than revolution of the international status and is some- what worried about the possible out- come. ‘The continental press may laugh at the “ginger ale champaign” with which the new United States cruiser Salt Lake City was christened last Thursday, but it is far from laughing at the naval program of the United States. Looked Upon as Sea Rivals. Great Britain and the United States are looked upon as maritime rivals en. gaged in a vigorous peaceful struggle-— Great Britain to retain her position and the United States to attain world su- premacy. 8 In general the European public ignores the viewpoint of the United States. The Americans are not popu- lar. The rise of the United States to power has been so rapid as to inspire no little fear and jealousy. One Euro- pean statesman, = enjoying excellent sources of information, told a private audfence the other day: “The United States wants superiority in big cruisers in order to break the British hege- mony.” European liberals insist that they can see no difference between the spirit of Gen. Groener's memorandum, basing the German policy of fear of Poland and France's policy of fear of Germdny, and Britain's refusal to al- low the channel tunnel to be built for fear of French invasion and the United States 15-cruiser program based on fear of the British navy. People of Europe generally are be- wildered by the fact that no sooner was the Kellogg pact hailed as the be- ginning of an era of peace, than the United States Senate, after ratifying the Kellogg pact, rushed to vote for a great naval increase. Europe’s Interpretation. In broad symbolism this is taken abroad as a sign that the United States has little faith in her own peace de- vices. The situation is not only temporarily blocking the disarmament efforts of the league of nations, but distracting attention from land armaments and stimulating naval de- velopments of various countries, for example—France, Germany, Poland, Russia, Italy and Spain. For if the next great struggle for powers centers on vil':e seas, everybody wants to be in on s The suggestion that war can actually result between the United States and Great Britain is scouted; yet assertions that such a war is “unthinkable and impossible” are equally scouted. Col. House has been on record as saying - that such a war is not im- possible and now Ramsay MacDonald admits a similar misgiving. Senator Borah' himself, in Thursday’s speech, characterized such a situation as a “naval race,” and is reported to have said -that either Britain must accept, in the new conference on the sea law, the interpretations of the United States_or the United States will out- build Britain in naval matters.

The British continued to build and presently had 12 big new cruisers and the United States had | none. Before beginning to build, the United States wanted to try to reach the limi- tation agreement and accordingly cabled the Geneva conference. The United States claimed parity in cruisers, which Great Britain admitted only grudgingly. The British admiralty de- clared that it needed a total of 75 cruisers to protect the world sea routes, but gradually admitted her willingness to abandon eight-inch gun cruisers in favor of six-inch gun cruisers. Having a_ great merchant fleet, Britain was willing that this plan be agreed upon. The United States refused. The case for the United States was that she needed cruisers to protect her interests in the Atlantic and, in case of war, her interest in the Pacific, the Philippines and Hawaii. The United States proposed a parity in' global tonnage, with a provision that | any nation was free to build within | tHis tonnage any sort of cruisers it iiked, but the British refused, because if America built 25 big cruisers, then the British would be- obliged to build, the same. Various compromises were studied and rejected and the conference ended with nothing done. British naval offi- cers declared privately that the United | States did not need ships because if the United States had needed them, the United States would already have buiit them. Doubted Ability to Man Ships. They expressed grave doubts as to the |ablllty of the United States to hold, or man, or officer such ships, cr even to get the necessary appropriation through Congress. The delegates of the United States replied privately that the United States was fully determined to have parity and if the conference failed to effect this, then public opinion would instantly force through a big building program. The British at first thought this to be a bluff, whicch indeed it turned out to be, for public opinion, on the first presentation, instead of supporting, de- feated the new building program. ‘The British foreign office earnestly desires agreement, but the admiralty | still seems to believe that the best policy is to “wait and see.” | ‘What the British always wanted was | an alliance with the United States, which they thought would make the question of parity a secondary one. Failing this, they have outbuilt us. The passage of the present bill will virtually restore parity. i What some statesmen, for example, | Borah of the United States and Cecil | and MacDonald of Great Britain, seem | to want is a new agreement on sea | {law which, by removing the chances of naval friction in war time, will| facilitate naval limitation.
