In a general deience of the Govâ€" ernment‘s naval policy Mr. Churchill flatly declares that it would be abâ€" surd to build ships again=t the United States, and that it is not the Government‘s policy to take the Amâ€" erican navy into consideration _ in framing the British naval estimates. "Because," he added, "we do not believe that there is any reasonably probableâ€"nay, humanly conceivable â€"combination against the peace and freedom of the British people which would include the American navy."
