BRITISH RETAIN POWER ON SEA. ' LETTER STATES Head of U. S. Navy League Expresses Fear of Great Conflict. Lieutenan*-Commander H P. Burnett. United States navy, in charge of the recruiting office in Indianapolis, has made public a letter from the Navy League of the United States to the Navy League of the British empire. The letter signed by N M. Hubbard Jr. president of the league, states that “the public mind in the United States believes that the world is swiftly moving toward a supreme conflict of arms, involving the existence of government control and our present civilization.” “Thai statement,” the letter continues. "by no means implies a combatant participation by the United States in the European war thought to be imminent Unfortunately, the trend of public sentiment in this country toward an understanding has been checked, we believe, by the implications of British demands and suggestions in respect to our naval requirements, in order to attain that parity in sea strength to which this naion is unquesionably 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. It sunk that supremacy and voluntarily restored control of the seas to the British navy. It renounced its sovereign rights to adequate naval bases in the far Pacific in the belief that Japans signature to the ninepower treaty assured the territorial and governmental integrity of China and the Open Door. “Thus,” continues the letter, “it denied to its own fleet the ability to operate in waters where it has large commitments and important interests. This renunciation was induced 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 confirmed 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 unthinkable, they apparently keep in nnnd always such a contingency and that in the event of our engagement in a war in which the British remain neutral. Great Britain is indifferent to the outcome.” Twenty gallons of gasoline can be refined from one barrel of crude oil.
