one delegate to the international

garding the British proposal
that warships be omitted from
the list of ornaments subject to

This feeling Of confusion ap-
parently was shared by many Of
the other delegates who learned
only this morning Of the sensa-
tional development at last
nights secret session Of the con-
ference on military, naval and
air matters.
Rear Admiral Aubrey Smith told the
committee that his country favored
taking war vessels out Of the category
of ornaments which would be subject
ed, under the present draft convention
to d system of license when sold by
one country to another
The conference. he argued, bad been
called not to reduce ornaments, but
to prevent illicit trade in them. and
especially to throw the light of publir
city upon their sale. It was impossible
to conceal the sale Of a warship and
therefore inclusion Of these vessels

The British view was supported
Japan and Italy; in fact the represent r
tives Of no nation present opposed it..
but the French later said they desired
to think it over. The American ex-
