BRITISH HOLD KEY
TO NEW NAVAL CUT
Success at Geneva Depends
on Willingness to Give
Up Supremacy.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The three-power naval conference,
which goes into its fourth w to-
morrow at Geneva, is threatened with
dissol ltion unless the views of dele
cations regarding cruiser tonnage can
be reconciled. A plenary session of
the conference has been called, large.
ly. it is said, that the British may put
before the world the reasons which
have led to their demands for ap.
proximately 100000 cruiser tonnage
and for a reduction in the si of bat
tleships, cruisers and other naval
craft.
The American delegation went TO
Geneva seeking an extension OF the
5-5-3 ratio of naval strength, adopt
ed for capital ships and aircraft car
riers at the Washington conference in
1922; it went seeking also a real limi-
tation in the matter Of auxiliarv craft.
1t has proposed, for exal4ple, that
cruiser tonnage of the three nations,
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan. be limited at from 100000 20

posals for limiting the size of cruisers,
fixed by the Washington treaty at
10, 900 tons with S-inch guns, to $500
tons with 6.inch guns. They proposed
also reductions in the size of the bat
tleships and aircraft carriers and linn
itations on the size Of destroyers and
submarines, holding that the ends of
economy would be served by such re.
ductions in the size of the individual
vessels.
Present British Tonnage 413,41O.
When, however, the British were
asked to fix limit on the total cruiser
tonnage, they demanded nearly
500 900 tons as the measure Of their
needs for national defense. Their
present tonnage in modern cruisers,
built, building and appropriated for
is 413,410.
The cruiser tonnage demands Of the
British are looked upon as excessive
by the United States and by Japan.

Senator King Outlines Pro-
gram to Form Flood Con-
troll Commission.

By the Associated Press.
A legislative program proposing a
half billion dollar tax cut, creation of
a flood control commission. develop
ment of the Colorado River and re-
vision Of archaic" mining laws, was
outlined for the next Congress yester-
day by Senator King, Democrat. Utah,
who returned to the Capital after
number of weeks Of illness to consult
his physician.
The Senator said he also favored
enactment of a bill requiring the
Treasury Department to carry out"
the Pittman silver act, declaring the
Government should purchase the
14,5OO 900 ounces of silver, as provided
for in the act, at the agreed purchase
price.
He also expects that the Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois election contests
will be passed upon fairly" and
without partisanship or prejudice
by the Senate.
The proposed flood commission
would deal with the Mississippi prob
lem and that of other navigable
streams, he added, emphasizing that
flood protection for the Imperial Val
ley in California was imperative and
that in his opinion a meeting Of the
governors of the States in the Colo
RADIO Basin might assist in adjustment
Of interstate differences.
