KEEPING THE PEACE
ROLE OF BRITISH NAVY
VIEWS OF CONSUL-GENERAL IN NEW YORK.
DEMOCRACY IN POSITION TO WAIT & SEE.
By Telegraph—Press' Association—Copyright NEW YORK. January 6.
The newly-appointed British Con-sul-General. Mr Godfrey Haggard, addressing the New York Chamber of Commerce, defended Mr Chamberlain's policy. "We know we are the real object of attack because the'British Navy exerts its all-pervading influence as it has always done to keep peace." he said. "Those who fish in troubled waters know that there will be untroubled waters to fish in as long as our own ships and, if I may say the obvious thing, the American navy sail over the surface of those waters."
Mr Haggard said democracy had this advantage, that it could afford to keep its head and wait and see and. after the manner of democracies, lose every battle but the last. “I want to say," he added, "that Mr Chamberlain is an Englishman who speaks from the real heart of England, and England still hopes that negotiation and agreement may achieve what war, if it comes, could not achieve."
