calling for a halt In Americas pro-

House within the next few days to
force action on such a resolution
'-The British Admiralty's action Is
a test OF the good faith OF the United
States in proposing the scrapping Of
war vessels" said Pomerene. 1T Is

should be put into battieships which
we ourselves propose to scrap. The
British government has clearly shown
that Il accepts the American pro-
posai and unless we now follow It's
example America will lose its initia-

coined as giving proof OF Brltain's
