London, Deo. 28.The fact that tha United States is now recognized In Eu rope aa a- first-class naval power will have considerable effect; on the two power atandard which for aome time has been- the keystone of British naval policy. The reference which Mr. Hal dane, the secretary of war, made to that aubpect the other night will cer tanly be discussed and canvnsouH t no propnet to roretell that if America be one of the nowem in,.i,,,i adherence to the two power atandard will become increasingly Aiffn,,r o,i costly. 7 There is no doubt that hitherto the two power standard has had reference mainly to the - European powers. The united Btates had not been excluded, but its position la so different from thai of the powers , nearer home , that Us naval power haa never been regarded ; .iciiouD iv Miir European country: Mr. Haldane pointed out that it would become increasingly difficult to main tain the two-power standard if Germany and the United States were the two powers whose navies were to be made the atandard. It may, however, be as sumed that in the future America -a; in not be reckoned on as one of these pow ers. If she Choosea to enter nn a uniirM of naval expansion it 'would be hardly possible for Great Britain to compete With her. Within 20 or SO veara aha win prooaoiy nave tnree times tne pop ulation Of the United Kine-dom. and tr. ouiia neets wnicn would equal or exceed both America's and- Germany's, aa Mr Haldane said, would be a very difficult I task. It will nrooablv be found, there fore, that in maintaining the two-power nuuiuwa tne jjruisn admiralty will nave in view, two European powers. .- BOY CAUSES DEATH OF WEALTHY FATHER BIOGRAPHY.
