BRITISH RETAIN
POWER ON SEA-,
LETTER STATES
Head of u. S. Navy League
Expresses Fear of Great
Conflict.

Lieutenant Commander H P.
Burnett. United States navy, in
charge Of the recruiting Office in
Indianapolis, has made public let
ter from the Navy League Of the
United States TO the Navy League
of the British empire.
The letter signed by N NJ Hub
bard Jr, president Of the league,
states that the public mind in the
United States believes that the
world is swiftly moving toward SUI
preme conflict of arms, involving
the existence Of government con-
troll and our present civilization
This statement" the letter con-
tinues, by no means implies a
combatant participation by the
United States in the European war
thought to be imminent Unfor-
tunately, the trend of public senti-
ment in this country toward an I'M
derstanding has been checked, we
believe, by the implications Of Brit
ish demands and suggestions in re-
spect to our naval requirements. in
order TO attain that parity in sea
strength to which this naion is IN
quesionably entitled"
Asserts Sacrifices" Made
Going back to the 1921 Washing
ton naval conference and without
going into details. the nation in the
firm belief that it was contributing
to world peace, gave hostages to
fortune by disproportionate sacrifices
of established naval strength.
At that time, it had the capital
ship supremacy of the world. 1t
sunk that supremacy and voluntarily
restored control Of the seas to the
British navy. II renowned it's
sovereign rights to adequate naval
bases in the far Pacific in the belief
that Japan's signature to the nine
power treaty assured the territorial
and governmental integrity of China
and the Open Door.
Thus" continues the letter, 1T
denied to its own fleet the ability TO
operate in waters where it has large
commitments and important in
terests. This remuneration was in
duced by the hope that it would
convince the japanese people of our
dependable friendship.
Hopes Not Confirmed
Our people think these sacrifices
should have assured the British
empire of our belief that British
naval strength constituted no
threat to the United States and
should have convinced Japan that
the American mind tolerated no
thoughts of American aggression.
Subsequent events have not con-
firmed our hopes.
In brief, our people are being
forced reluctantly to a conclusion
that while your statesmen continue
to say that war between us is I'M
thinkable, they apparently keep in
mind always such a contingency
and that in the event of our en-
gagement in a war in which the
British remain neutral, Great Brit
ain is indifferent to the outcome"

tween atoms without touching anything.
Some hit upper floors. This was
shown by the fact that the same counter
outdoors registered about Is more rays
per minute
Those that hit, said DR. Swan, smash
ed the atom that stopped them. So
complete a smash, he added, that If
the vault around him were filled with
gold, the rays would ultimately disin-
tegrate it all.
But" he said, there's no cause to
worry, for the rays are so small that 1t
would take 100 900 million, million, mil
lion years for them to destroy 10 per
cent of the gold atoms-and we know
much faster ways of getting gold out of
bank vaults"
The new stellar spot theory applies to
cosmic rays If they are electrified par
ticles, but not if they are photons, or
high-energy light rays.
1T is possible to show" said DR.
Swan, that in the case of one of the
larger sunspots the growth of the mag
netic field is such that during the first
second Of its creation and before it had
grown more than about one -millionth of
its final value, 1t could create in an
electron in its vicinity an energy COM
parable to 100000, 900 VOLTS
This sort of "sun-spot" mechanism in
distant stars could create the rays, he
explained, as there Is direct evidence
they do not come from the sun. More
over they could be created by stars in
countless profusion for it Is the rate of
change in the magnetic field rather
than size Of spot that can charge the
Super-power particle and shoot 1t across
a million years of time.
