FREEDOse "a OF SEAS STILL
IS b!::yNE OF CONTENTION
England And Anne Agree
Prefectly Upon sM
OF Nations,
By Lowell Mellett

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent.)
London, Dec. 2S.--Britain and the
United States have not yet reached a
common basis Of understanding relative
to freedom of the seas. With an agree
ment. achieved on every essential OF
laegue of nations, leaders of the two
great English speaking democracies are
today striving for solution Of the sec
ond os the most important factors IN
the peace negotiations.
The basic friendship with which the
two nations are approaching the sub
ject cannot be questioned. But Great
Britain, as well as America, is frank
ly taking into account the material fac
tors in the case.
From a very high British official the
United Press today obtained the fol-
lowing outline of the British point of
view with permission to present tho
statements as authoritatively repre-
senting the attitude Of the British gov
ernment:
Britain Convinced.
Great Britain is absolutely convinced
that no international authority on the
sea is able to take the place of the
British navy in safeguarding british
interests.
The government agreed readily to
drastic retrenchments in its building
program, providing other powers do
likewise.
The government wishes to start this
retrenchment by sinking the surren-
dered German fleet.
1t wants the opportunity to maintain
it sown navy at the smallest possible
strength consistent with the safety OF
its mercantile marine,
/ its mercantile marine, and its colonies
and its dependencies scattered over the
world.
II insists the British navy is oniy a
defensive weapon and cannot be used
! aggresively and therefore is not u
threat to the rest of the world.
Aside from these facts, the admiralty
naturally is keenly considering the pur
pose behind the. new naval program
Frankly, the admiralty--in the light q
its own conception of Great Britain .
necessity for maintaining the prepot
derance of its own navy-fail to SEE
the object in America s proposed great
increase in building.
Discussions Frank.
! British and American naval Officers
whoscs mooth cooperation at sea wa'
one of the wonders of the war, formet
the useful habit of speaking plainly tt
one another. This was what made thu
smoothness possible. So now their dis
cussions of future development arr
equally frank.
The British do not disguise their hon
est belief that any building program b,
America directed toward naval suprcm
acy is unwise. They say America, du
to physical reasons, need never becom
essentially a maritime nation, will
Gieat Britain cannot avoid it. Tlcrc
fore, they reason, if America builds I'll
biggest navy in the world it would b
an artificial creation, while WA. ~
ain, 1t has been a natural growth. A
. least, that will be the case of the mex
two centuries, they say.
The most hopeful feature of the sit
uation is the fact that the two countre
are able to discuss the issue in such
, manner, without suspicion or ranco'
without fear of motives other than III
desire to reach solution that will b
/ the most helpful to each other and t
the rest Of the world.

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT
In GUILD HALL,
LONDON.

London, Dec ss.-Presidcnt Wilson,
speaking in the historic Guild hall, de-
clared today his conversations with
British statesmen had revealed COM

SALEM TO HAVE AUTO
. SHOW during JANUARY
VIII Be First Ever He'd Here
And VIII Rival Those OF
Larger Cities.

Salem is going to put on as mucn
style as Portland or Chicago and will
have a fine automobile show all of its
own. The auto dealers of the city met
last week and delegated Lee Gilbert
as general manager and already things
are moving towards the biggest auto
show ever held in the state outside Of
Portland.
The entire armory has been rentel
and will be appropriately decorated in
regulation automobile show style. The
spaces for showing ears will be appor
toned off and arranged under the gal
leries around the main drill room. This
will leave the center of the large room
for the crowds and in the evenings
two dances are to be given. The first
dance will be the opening night and
the second, closing night Saturday,
January IS.
Making Arrangements Now
Already the auto dealers are max
ing arrangements with Mr.. Gilbert for
space. The. Valley Motor Company,
representing Wick Bros, have made ap-
plication for six spaces and the Max
well Motor car company of Portland
this morning telephoned for three
spaces to display their 1919 cars.
Besides the showing of all that is
latest in cars, there will be program
each evening. Governor Withycombe
will speak and members of the legisla-
ture from all parts of the state will
be called on for addresses at the pro-
gram of each evening. Mr.. Gilbert
announces that he has several interest
ing stunts that viii be pulled off to
add to the general interest of the
, show.
As the legislature will be in session
that week, Mr.. Gilbert will send each
4. lawmaker a special invitation to al
tend the show And as it will be to-
early in the session for the lawmaker'
to have gotten down to real business
it is thought that the automobile show
will be the means of introducing mem
bers of the 1919 legislature 10 the citi
zens of Salem. Anyhow, Mr.. Gilber
saws its going to be great show.
