BR|TA|N'S DEMAND
FOR RCRU|SERS HELD
PERIL TO ARMS CUT
U. S. and Japanese Delegates
Uneasy Over Insistence on
Increased Strength.
FEvERISH ARMAMENT
RACE SEEN AS RESULT
$100,000,000 Yearly Estimated
Cost to America to Obtain
Parity in Tonnage.


GENEVA, Switzerland, July O.
Great uneasiness exists tonight in
American and Japanese circles con-
cerning the prospects of success Of
the Tripartite Naval Conference. This
is due to further information, which
appears to be confirmed, relative to
Great Britain's demand for increased
cruiser strength.
Great Britain. 1t seems, wants the
right to maintain a fleet of fifteen
10 ,00O-ton cruisers and no fewer than
so cruisers of $500 tons each This
would make the total tonnage 100000,
or 800 90 more than the maximum con-
tained in the American proposal.
These British figures, which are re-
garded as stupendous by the Amer
icans and Japanese, have so discour.
aged them apparently that unless the
figures are shaved down very consid-
erably little good. in their opinion,
would be achieved by signing So
called limitation treaty.
Foresee Armament Race.
Among Americans and Japanese
there is no attempt to conceal the
conviction that the adoption OF the
reported British project would not
only prove a great deception on the
public opinion of their countries, but
also put a premium on new and
more feverish armament race IN this
type of war craft.
According to one estimate, the
adoption of the British plan would
involve increased naval expenditures
of almost 100,000,O00 yearly by the
American Government, il the Amer
ican cruiser strength were to be
brought up to that parity which the
British delegation publicly has pro-
claimed the United States assuredly
has the right to maintain.
Protection of the interests or Great
Rritains far-funs domlnlons Is
ascribed as one of the main rea sons
for Britain's demand for such hlgn
cruiser strength. and it was reporten
on good authority today that some OF
the delegations are getting INTO toucn
with the dominion representatives
here in order to determine how far
they, individually or collectively, are
backing Britain's reported project.
May Hold Public Session.
So far does the British demand
imperil the conference, in the view OF
some of the delegates, that unless the
figures are reduced, it is possible that
a public session may be requested SO
a to obtain publicly the views OF botn
the dominion delegates and the deie-
gates Of the mother country.

NAVY FLIGHT AROUND EQUATOR
CONSIDERED AS NEXT AIR GOAL
Wilbur Studying Advisability of Sending
American Planes on Most Hazardous
Voyage Ever Attempted.

A flight Of naval planes around
the Equator, which would constitute
the l. .gest and probably the most
hazardous ever attempted, is sug.
gested by high authority as the pos.
sible next important goal for Ameri.
can aerial achievement.
Coincident with the announcement
Of Comdr. Richard Z. Byrd in
Pa-.s yesterday that he plans to fly
to the unexplored and barren regions
of the South Pole next Winter. Sec
retary of the Navy Wilbur revealed
that he is considering the advisability
of a flight around the Equator. Mr..
Wilbur regards such a journey around
the outermost rim of the earth as of
far more Importance from a scientific
standpoint than Comdr. Byrd's pro-
posed hop to the Antarctic.
Potentialities Being Studied.
While the follow-the-Equator flight
is only in its tentative and formative
stage, aviation circles already are
speculating on it's potentialties, its
dangers and the peculiar atmospheric
conditions that would be encountered
over such long and uncharted
course The flight, of course, would
be made in a series of hops, similar
to those made by the Army planes
in 1924 in their circumnavigation OF
the globe over an irregular route.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-07-03

The Army planes made 70 stops and
lost considerable time waiting for
favorable weather. but aerial develop
ment since that time, it is pointed out,
undoubtedly would result in the trip
being made in much less time and
longer jumps.
The combined hops Of Lindbergh.
Chamberlin and Levine, Maitland and
Hegenberger and Byrd. totaled slight.
ly more than 1890 miles. or more
than one-half of the earth's circum-
ference. This distance was covered
in four hops, partly under most un-
favorable weather conditions, and
marked a decided step forward since
the round the world fight of the
Army planes.
Trip Mostly Over Water.
A trip around the Equator, however,
would carry the naval planes across
thousands Of miles of water, and com.
paratively little land, which would
necessitate, in one instance at least,
hop of greater distance than made by
Lindbergh, Chamberlin or Maitland.
Assuming that the naval planes
would start from point on the east
coast of Brazil and make the flight
easterly, the first lap of the journey
would have to be a nonstop endur-
ance across the Atlantic to French
Equatorial Africa, a distance of ap.
proximately 1000 miles. The second
leg, perhaps, would end on the east
the coast of Ecuador, and then COM

Mr. Desio insisted that scores Of

along the business streets might form
impressive memories.

orders merely to notify the business
men who had purchased the flags OF

Bean of the precinct declared that

All automobile operators permits is
sued prior to the passage Of the
amended traffic act will be outlawed al

about 10000 District motorists who
failed to renew the licenses will be
liable to arrest on charge of operat

The amended traffic act prescribed
that all old permits should be renewed

Moreover, the process Of renewing
the permits will not be as simple as
under the former plan. Those motor.
lists who apply for the renewal of their

fic regulations and then demonstrate
their ability to operate car with a
