DISCUSS TREATY EFFECT.
British Have Much to Say. But
Nothing Official
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 23.-One Of the
principal results of Secretary Hughes
recent statement " Nithdrawing earlier
statements that certain British war
ships had been altered to give their
guns longer range. has been 70 ere
ate a great deal of discussion as to
whether alterations in the armament
of rld WarShips would constitute vi
olation Of the spirit of the Washing
ton naval treaty. which is mainly di-
Iected against the equipping of new
war ships, and On this point various
opinions are expressed.
The portion of the treaty around
which the controversy centers is in
part 5. section /. para graph : CD. of
the document. in which this clause
appears: NO alterations in side
armor. in caliber, number or general
type of mounting of main armament
shall be permitted"
Admiralty Silent.
The controversial point. therefore,
as viewed here. is whether the phrase
general type of mounting" means
no alteration whatever, or whether
elevation of guns to allow longer
range without altering the general
methods of mounting would be al
lowed under the treaty.
The admiralty today refused to
express an official opinion on this
point. but it was unofficially asserted
in admiralty circles that the British
attitude is that the treaty, at least
In spirit. does not permit any altera-
tions in these guns whatever.
1t was officially declared, further
more, that in fact no alterations in
turret guns had been made on any
British warship and that the admiral
ty had no immediate intention Of
making such alterations.
Source of Information.
r+ l,au haen i,,,norsihJa +a ocrnrtain
the exact source of the American
Navy Departments original informa
tlon upon which Secretary Hughes
based the statement which he has
now retracted. 1t was stated in
American official quarters here that
all information forwarded to the Navy
Department apparently had the stamp
Of the British admiraltys approval.
None of the American officers how
ever would make 4 statement for
publication, declaring any such Ut
terance should come from the Secre
tary of the Navy at Washington.
From other sources it was learned
that the information which led to the
error might have been obtained from
the 1922 edition of James Fighting
Ships which is the nearest to an OFF,
cial description OF the various navies OF
the world available to the public.
Mentions Change.
On page 20 of that publication. in
describing ships Of the Queen Eliza
beth class, there appears under the gum
merry notes the following: Range of
15-inch guns only limited by maximum
visibility. Elevation of these guns has
been enlarged"
At the admiralty today it was assert
ed that this statement was based on
erroneous information and that it was
inaccurate despite the fact that on page
16 of James Fighting Ships there ap
pears the following:
THE following pages, descriptive of
his nlajesty's navy. have been inspected
and approved for Iblication by the ad-
miralty. The adm rally accepts no re-
sponsibility whatever for the accuracy
Of any of the statements made in James
Fighting Shjps' N regards his maJesty's
navy" ...-..- :.
