.ST|MSON EXPLODES
NAVAL POOL BELIEF
Secretary'S Formal State
ment Denies AngIo-U. S. Sea
Forces Were Joined.

In a formal statement issued today
Secretary of State Stlmson denied that
there had been any suggestion of pool
ing of the navies of Great Britain and
the United States to maintain the peace
of the world in the conversations which
took place here during the visit of Pre-
mier Macdonald.
The statement follows:
In reading comments upon the prime
minister's visit and the Joint statement
which was issued on his departure
have noticed a statement which so COM
pletely misconceives and misrepresents
the actual facts and the spirit of our
conference that 1 cannot let it pass
without correction
Mr.. David Lawrence says that
Great Britain and the United States
have, in effect, agreed TO pool their
navieS to maintain the peace of the
world During the whole of our con-
verSations there was not a syllable of
such a suggestion. The tenor of the
conversations was exactly the reverse
and believe that the Joint statement
makes that perfectly clear The under
standing which we aimed at was a
moral understanding The influence
which We are seeking to exert is moral
influence and not military one. The
basis of our discussions was the Kellogg
BRAND pact of peace, which aims at
outlawing war and all forcibie means of
compulSion of nations, and which relies
wholly upon the public opinion of the
world as its sole sanction. This
breathes throughout the entire joint
statement made yesterday from the
beginning where we say that we dis
cussed some of the means by which
the moral force of our countries can be
eXerted for peace down to the final
sentence where we said that we were
endeavoring to take steps which would
be contribution toward efforts for
peace, not by military organization. but
by peaceful means rooted in public
opinion and enforced by a sense of
justice in the civilized world
Nothing could have been further
away from the truth than to suspect
that we contemplated any joinder or
pooling Of our navies No such idea
was even preached or discussed"
