ESQ American Warshps Now
in Foreign Waters-Unity
Between u. S. and England.

LONDON, July 30-"There is no
branch OF AngloAmerican activity In
which cooperation and comradeship
are more marked and more complete
than In the navy" said Sir Eric Ged-
des. First Lord Of the British Ad-
miralty, speaking Monday at the
American Luncheon club.
There are more than 250 American
warships now based on this side" Sir
Eric said. land Mr. Roosevelt (Ameri,
can assistant secretary Of the navy)
has assured us this number will in
crease faster in the future than in the
past.
I'VE are glad to welcome all these
additions to the allied naval strength.
Sir Eric added. because every add
tional ship means a more strenuous
war against submarines.
Large numbers of ships are being
required nowadays for the work Of
escorting incoming American trans.
ports. IL ship Is on escort duty 1t
cannot be hunting and fighting sub
marines. So the additional American
forces will mean the release Of simi
lar number of British for intensive Of
fensive work against Uboats.'
In addition to Sir Eric Geddes and
Franklin d. Roosevelt, the American
assistant secretary of the navy, the
guests included the members of the
naval committee of the American
house OF representatives. Mr.. Roose
welt said:
II came over here with the object
OF learning. That is why came
across the Atlantic in a destroyer.
shall spend most Of my few weeks on
this side in actually seeing things be.
ing done.
"Sir Eric Geddes and myself have
visited Queenstown and we have found
things working there just as I had
dreamed they ought to be working
n keen. unified energy of British and
American forces aiming at a common
end. 1t has been a great pleasure to
meet Sir Eric, to travel with him on
an American destroyer and to find
him a he man. talking in our own
language.
THE United States owes much to
the untiring work of the British navy.
for it is a fact that about 40 per cent
of the troopships carrying Americans
to Europe are British ships and have
been escorted by British men-ofwar.
'The United States has. believe. t
last struck it's stride in naval con-
struction and we shall deliver ships
very rapidly henceforth."
