LRx Associated Press.l


NEW YORK, March 24.-The growing
tendency toward bigger and more
formidable navies shown by the lead
ing nations of Europe and now by tne
United States, was denounced tonlghe
by Andrew Carnegie at the lnterna-
tional Peace festival in Carnegie hail.
under the auspices of the Peace DO
ciety of the City of New YORK. 49,
''Never before in the history OF the
world" said Mr. Carnegie, have the
leading powers been engaged in hasten.
ing the construction of engines OF
destruction to the extent that they
are now.
IAN explanation of this deplorable
condition is to be found in the fatuous
blunder of the government OF Great
Britain in creating a new class OF bat
tIeships. the so-called Dreadnaughts,
which have a displacement OF 26'oOo
tons.
"A short time ago England had
navy which was estimated as being
five times more powerful than that OF
Germany. In order to remain the UNI
challenged mistress of the sea, all sne
had to do was to avoid increasing the
size and armament of vessels. with
the building of British Dreadnaughts
came the building of German ships of
equivalent displacement and destruc-
tiveness.
president Roosevelt exerted all his
influence to secure limit to the size
of battleships, but to no avail, and
now the United States and the other
world powers are all actively engaged
in turning out 26,000-ton battleships."
Mr.. Carnegie then took up the sug-
gestion recently made by writer in
the United Service Gazette of London,
that the fleets of Great Britain and the
limited States be used reciprocally, the
British fleet to guarantee American
possessions in the Pacific and the
American fleet to guarantee British
possessions in the Atlantic.
Mr.. Carnegie approved of the plan,
but suggested that it become operative
only after the nation involved with
either Great Britain or the United
States had refused to submit its griev-
ance to arbitration.
