London,
Dec

for
Great

the United States
to
|
curtail
naval
expenditure
by
wmutual
agreement
wer2 featured
by
a number
|
o7 newsoapers
this morring;
in following
this
course
they give expression
to
a fear
which
has
prevailed
here
since
the
re-
ceipts
of
reporis
of
the
new
United
States
naval
programme
and
an
anxiety
|
which
may
be traced
to the
assumption
|
that
it
they
would
buiid
2
big
navy.
-
Great
Britain
must
do
likewise.
The
Morning Post remarks
that politicians
in
the Unite?
States
have
chousen'a
moment
when
the wartime fellowship ofthe
Brit:
ish and United
States
Navies
and chival
rous
courtesy
of
the
American
seamen
have
united
the
naval
services
of
the
two nations,
to declare
in effect
that
the British
Navy
is
a
potential
men-
ace
®*
to
America.
Os
the
essential
contradiction
between
American political
and
American
practice.
Professing
@c
desire
to deny the
right
of
the
United
States
to
build
as
large
a
navy
as
she
thinks
proper,
admitting
she
can afford
t7 do
so,
the Post
contends.
that the
con-
ciusion
of a working agreement
between
the
United
Sta.es
and
Great
Britain
woold
do
more
to
establish
the
peace
than any other
plan conceivable
and
urg:
es
that the
receirt
utterances
of Senator
Borah
and
others
encourage
the
belief
that
such
an
arrangement
is
possible.
Another plea for
an
agreement
between
the United States,
Japan
and
Great
Bri-
tain is voiced
by the
Daily News, which
urges
that
the interval
between
the pre-
sent
moment
and
.the
inauguration
of
President
Harding
should
be
utilized by
the statesmen
of
the three
countries
to
educate
the public.
The time
should
be
utilized by the public to stimulate
states-
men
to initiate conversations
with a view
to
arriving
at
the
most
desirable
and
most practical
step toward
relieving the
peopie of
a hurden
which
is condemned
universally i theory
as intolerable.
