AMERICA CONQUERS BRITAIN.
There is being published here on Friday, accompanied by high-powered advertizing and following forced draught haste on the part of the printers, a 200,000-word book entitled America Conquers Britain. The author, Ludwig Denny, the chief editorial writer for the Scripps Howard newspapers, seeks to show that, as wars result from economic conflicts, and as, he claims, America is supplanting Britain's former economic world dominance, war between the two countries is not " unthinkable:' Mr. Denny ' asserts his friendliness toward Anglo-American understanding, but argues that the way to avoid war is frankly to recognize its possibility or even probability in the light of history and take intelligent measures, along the lines of economic co-operation, in advance of the crisis arising. It is obvious that the publication was hastened to occur during the Naval Conference, but it is hoped that this provocative procedure will be taken as only a publicity gesture. One must remember that the book
expresses only the personal views of the author. * * * *
