BRIT0NS LEAVE
FOR COOLIDGE
naval FARLEY
London Delegation Prepares
to Continue Its Fight
Against Submarine.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, June 17.-Principals of
Great Britain's delegation to Presi-
dent Coolidge's naval limitations
conference at Geneva, departed to-
day, headed by w. G. Bridgeman,
first lord of the admiralty.
Bridgeman was accompanied by
Vice Admiral F. l.. Field, and each
had a retinue of secretaries.
AS head of what would be the
navy department in the United
States, Bridgeman can speak for the
British cabinet and the British navy
with authority.
Well-founded information indi-
Gated today that the British dele
cation would be prepared at Geneva
to make almost any concession re-
garding reduction of battleship and
submarine strength to aid the dis
cussions towards useful results. But,
Britain was believed to be ready to
resist strenuously any effort to dis
turb the $3.50 ratio or to bring
about reallotment of naval
strength except on a basis of ton
mage by classification.
Differs With France
That scheme of rating naval pow
er differs from the one desired by
France, whereby each country
would be allotted a fixed tonnage
with permission to employ it at
will, using all for submarines or for
any other type of craft.
Britain also was expected to be
ready Monday to submit to further
reduction in the size and arma-
nents Of cruisers, but she would
resist any reduction in the numer-
ical strength of her cruiser fleet
beyond the adniralty's estimate of
the number of cruisers essential to
keep open British Empire trade
routes and to combat the submarine
threat of neighboring continental
nations.
U. s. Cooperation Seen
1 was presumed that the Uniteo
States delegation, led by Hugh S.
Gibson, ambassador to Belgium,
would understand British insistence
that there be no reduction in her
numerical cruiser strength, SO long
as there was a concerted effort by
France and Italy, partly supported
by Japan, to scrap limitation of ma
val strength by classification and to
substitute the total tonnage basis of
limitation.
That would make possible large
scale submarine construction, and
Britain fears submarines, which are
Judged to be the greatest menace to
Ter trade routes.
