CHICAGO. June 80 LP).-Backward
Summer, which some dour prophets
had said was so tardy it might not ar

Eltstery reality.
It struck the entire United States
with a, uniformity of humid heat that
was as great on the Atlantic and Pa

West and South.
One of those high pressure areas
of which the weather bureaus speak

part of the country. and caused the
national torridity, the Chicago meteo-
rological experts explained.
Phoenix Is Hottest.
Phoenix, AriZ. as is frequently the
case, was the hottest spot in the AZ
States with a recording of IS degrees.
South Bend, Ind. however, had 81 de-
grees, which was hot enough to set
off a stock Of fireworks exposed to the

but, he added, I'VE never disputed the
American claim for parity as estab-
lished by the Washington treaty.
ut is true" he continued. I'VE think
our special needs demand a higher
number in certain types of vessels,
but we do not deny the right of the
United States to build up to an equal
figure in any type of warship, If she
thought it necessary.
The first lord referred to statements
he had seen that if Great Britain's
proposal were adopted to limit the
future size of battleships to 10000 tons
the country would have some supe-
riority through having the Warships
Rodney and Nelson. He was certain
that by reasonable adjustment of the
replacement tables there would be no
change in the parity arrived at in
Washington as regards battleshps.
In their examination of the cruiser
problem, the experts have before them
proposals for creating two classes of
10.000-ton cruisers--one having 8-inch
guns, as stipulated by the Washington
pact, and the other having 6-inch guns.
The Americans have shown not the
slightest disposition to agree to the
British suggestion that cruisers in flu
ture be limited to $500 tons and have
6-inch guns Under the British plan
such limitation would depend on an
agreement as to the number of 10000
ton cruisers allocated to Great Brit
ain, the United States and Japan.
