Geneva, Switzerland, June Is Up
Hugh s. Gibson. chief American dele
gate. replied indirectly today to a
statement coming from British
circles that the tonnage of war craft
scrapped by Great Britain since the
war was probably three times that
scrapped by the United States.
Abiding to the fact that the
United States at the Washington con-
ference voluntarily surrendered her
supremacy in battleships, he declared
she had committed herself to the
scrapping of $4,000 tons of ships
well under construction, and Is old
battleships with a tonnage Of about
22S.000.
This commitment. he explained,
was actually carried out, and should
be compared with the total tonnage
Of projected battleships and 10 old
warships-411,0 900 tons in all-actu-
ally scrapped by Great Britain.
U. S. Attitude Seen
Information from the American
delegation indicates prevalence of q
belief that any agreement to reduce
the size of cruisers from 10000 tons.
as desired by Great Britain, would
be another surrender on a type OF
warship which the Americans hold
necessary in their national defense;
hence their determination to make
no concessions on this point.
1t 10 also remarked that Great
Britain, with the Nelson and Rod
ney, each of $4,000 tons. has two
more powerful capital ships than the
American navy-vessels which en-
body the lessons taught by the battle
of Jutland. Thus, acceptance of the
British proposal to cut the tonnage OF
battleships to 10000 would leave
America in distinctly inferior po-
sition as regards this type of war
craft.
Deadlock Continues
The deadlock continues on the
great problem of the conference,
namely whether the decisions taken
at Washington in 1922 are subject
to reconsideration here. Apparently
nothing important can be achieved
until this question is decided one
way or another.
Groups of experts met today to
study the technical aspects OF the
limitation Of cruisers, submarines
and destroyers, but anything they
do concerning cruisers at least.
may be thrown overheard later. Us
this hinges upon how the main po-
htical problem of the conference is
regulated.
The most reliable opinion here is
that the American delegation pre-
fers to go home without any agree
ment than to reach one which
would involve the entire remodel
ling Of the Washington treaty or
one placing total tonnage figures
for auxiliary warcraft SO high that
there would be no limitation at all
but merely an invitation for in
creased armament competition.

championship of the National Capital
