The British government hua 'begun the organisation of a special mission which It proposes to send to the United Stales within the next month, accord '" to sdvdes received in official quar. tera. The mission will formally con- of succesa to the new administration land then proceed to a discussion of the numerous outstanding questions be tween this government and Great Brit ain, . - America Will Police Pacific Coast and England Will Have Guard of Atlantic Coast, LONDON, March 15. (Kd. L. Keen, V. V. Btaff OJrreKpondcnt.) Greit Britain and America huve reached an amicable "dlvls'on" of the seas, ac cording to, the general belief. Ah the result of the agreement, it is relicviMl great lirluiln will police the Atlantic ocean and America the Paci fic This IrnpresBlon Is strengthened by two announcements from London and Washington on the same day. Prom Washington comes the state ment that the Pacific fleet will pron- ably assume more lmortHnce than the Atlantic fleet. From London came tho announcement that Great Ilritaln will reduce her naval budtvet by $70,000, -000, thereby abandoning any thought of competition with America's naval program. The general belief here Is thut the friendly relations will tie greatly frtreng, hened if America goes throunh with the proposed program of con centrating her navtil power on Ibv Pacific There will no longer be any question by the l!rlt-:h, as "who U America building against?" The reports from Washington that America is considering putting a fieri ' n the Pacific Is regarded here as in dicating that the United States wants t impress Japan with her naval strength. The presence of a big Am erican fleet on the Pacific would, prob ably Influence Japan that war with America at the present time is not feasible, experts believe. America' Pacific fleet will probably take over patrol 'Rork now done by tho Itritish navy In the waters adjucnt to Its col onics and thus considerably reduce the empires expenses for naval establish ment.
