Naval Conference
Faces Showdown
at Monday Session

GENEVA. July 3O.-tPl-The tri-
parti:e naval conference faces z
showdown at the plenary session
scheduled for Monday.
Efforts today to obtain an ad-
journment Of six months or a year
IN order TO give the conferees time
for further reflection did not sue
cced and nothing had been done to-
night to prevent the holding ~ the
pleIary session Monday, which many
persons fear may be marked M
statements from British and Ameri.
can delegates Of nature 10 pro.
woke Immediate rupture Of the con
ference.
In the meantime the British and
American viewpoints on methods oi
naval armamen+ limitation remain as
far apart as ever, with indication.
that unless the British grant the
American demand NJ complete
liberty 10 build secondary cruisers
armed with inch guns within the
limits Of the total cruiser tonnage
TO be fixed by the conference, the
negotiations are headed toward col
lapse.
There are no signs whatsoever
however. that the British will agree
to such a provision in the treaty
since they feel that they must know
definitely III this moment how many
cruisers with inch guns the Unit
ed States will build during the life
Of the treaty. Furthermore they
hold that the number OF these yes
sells should be limited TO the lowest
possible figures.
Information in authoritative quar-
teTs tonight tended to show that
either Niscount Ishii or Admiral
Saito of Japan would endeavor 20
mediate "a the eXtent VI urging WI.
G. Bridgeman. British delegate. and
Hugh :. Gibson. head Nj the Ameri-
can delegation to keep Mondays
plenary session within moderate
bounds
Mr.. Bridgcman may be asked to
confine his remarks to nn eNplana-
tion of the latest British plan, and
Mr.. Gibson simply TO explain why
the Americans could not accept the
British scheme. if they have defin-
itCly decided that they cannot.
