Most Fatal Mistake Of
Ages Would be Armament
Race With United States

LONDON. July 80. - Commander
Viscount Curzon. N p. eminent
authority on International politics
in an interview granted the Interna-
tional News service discussed the re-
cent announcements Of Lloyd
George and Gen. Jan SHUTS that a
rapprochement should be entered
nto with lhe United States on arm
a1ents.
Gen. SHUTS STAGED at The imperla,
conference, following Lloyd @ Gorge
.ogertures 10 America, that L Was
his belief that the most fatai mis-
take OF al would be a race in arm
alaents with America. Commander
Viscount CurzOn in his interview dis
cussed recent Limitation suggestions
end takes the view that the formula
% a naval agreement should be a
financial on, in opposition. pr-sun-
ably, 10 TIE admiralty view, witch
is that it should be expressed in big
ships" Lord Curzon said:
Although we have been discuss
ing this question OF naval holiday
for so long. the clear tact remains
that up TO now there has been Moth
ing but talk. Whether international
agreement is TO be arrived at still
remains TO be seen, for the lead that
we gave long ago has not been fol-
lowed.
Japan, ir is true. is credited with
views similar 10 our own. but Amer
lea is silent, and we can only specu-
late as TO the eventual outcome OF
It all.
NO good can come from recrim-
nation. 1 regard ii as absolutely
all-important in this matter that we
should not be empted, however
strongly we may feel. into any crit
icism of whatever action America
feels justified in adopting.
1T must be remembered that
America is perfectly entitled to take
any action she likes. We have no
right 10 cavil at her decision. even
If 1t should not agree with what we
may regard as the best. II were
were in her position We should re-
sent interference.
1T is obvious that there are some
Americans who want their country
10 possess the biggest navy in the
world, and to a nation that prldes
itself on going ahead, the ambi-
ton is understandable. They say
they can afford TO crafty their de-
sire, and they do not see why they
should not.
Il am quite certain there is no
aggressive intent behind such pans,
for America is not agsressive-at
any rate, in the sense that Germany
was. 1t is simply an expression by
wealthy nation of its national pride
in being able to say with regard TO
the navy as it does in other activi-
ties, that it possesses the biggest
thing yet
AT the same time. such views
have TO be reconcile ed wi h the idea
Of the League OF Nations and sim
liar schemes that had their genesis
on the other side of the Atlantic;
and I am afraid it is not thoroughly
recognized by all Americans that
there is a certain danger in owning
these enormous fighting machines.

those who create them must De A..
