“NO GREATER FOLLY.”
Talk of War in Pacific.
INTERESTED POWERS MUST CONFER.
Cabla—Press Association —OopyrifbW Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received May 15, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 15.
The “Daily Telegraph,” commenting on tho welcome awaiting the American Fleet in Australia and New Zealand, says: ‘ ‘Britain has been compelled to limit her representative Navy in the Pacific to proportions amounting momentarily almost to evacuation, but war between the great Powers concerned in the Pacific is virtually a physical impossibility. The man-of-war has not yet been designed which can steam tho enormous distances separating the Pacific nations, and then be in a condition to fight. The continuance of this state of affairs is assured by the clauses in the Washington Treaty regulating the establishment of new bases. Even if physical banders did not exist, however, what purpose would war between any Pacific States achieve ?
“There is no greater folly,” adds the “Daily Telegraph,” “than to speak of inevitable war in the Pacific.”
