tagonism of British”
Washington, Oct. 19,
The Navy League of America In a polite but frank letter made public to-day told the British Navy League that continued sa- tagonism by Great Britain' to America's naval building policy would block the "absolutely es- sential" co-operation between the
two nations.
The letter, signed by N. M. Hub- bard, Jr., president of the Amer- ican Navy League, will be deliver-
ed in London to-morrow..
Many observers, it said, believe the world is "swiftly moving to- ward a supreme conflict of arms involving the existence of govern mental control and our present that civilization," and continued
wise statesmen both in the United States and Great Britain have from time to time expressed the hope and need for closer un derstanding between countries in order to withstand and possibly avert much of the untoward results.”-

The letter said the public, mind in the United States had been in the process of "adjusting itself to the propriety and necessity of such a basts of co-operation on behalf of the preservation of de- mocratic forms of government and, the maintenance of the pre- sent world status of the races."

The United States took cogniz- ance of the British attitude late last month, the administration telling London the building pro- gramme could not be postponed. President Roosevelt let
be known that there Was по intention of rescinding the con- tracts for any of the 37 warships recently let.
The British suggestions were understood to be concerned chiefly with the four class B cruisers in the programme providing for ton- nages of 10,000 with · six-inch guns. At both the Washington and London conferences the Brit- ish urged smaller maximum figures for this class.

It was held that the United States had renounced rights to adequate naval bases in the Far Pacific, in the belief that Japan's signature to the nine power treaty assured the integrity of the open door in China, and also with' the hope that Japan would be convinced of America's friendship.

Tokyo, Oct. 14. The Russo-Japanese diplomatic crisis took a more threatening turn today when from authoritative sources it was learned that Japan- ese troops were concentrating at Changchun, Mukden and Harbin.
Apparently the move was a pre- preparatory to a campaign against cautionary measure, ostensibly bandits in Manchukuo.
