LONDON, Aug. The London
Evening Standard in a late edition
today will announce that Ambassa-
dor Charles a. Dawes and Premier
Ramsay Macdonald have concluded
preliminary negotiations looking to
eventual naval disarmament.
The Standard declares that these
representatives of the United States
and British governments have
reached a tentative agreement for a
formula for naval disarmament.
"The British admiralty will wei.
come heartily the inclusion Of the
discussion of capital ships in the
Forthcoming naval conference rather
than wait for the 1881 conference
provided by the Washington arms
treaty"
Position Made Clear
This statement was made this aft
ernoon by an informant whose name
and position in official circles carry
unequaled weight and authority.
He continued:
Our position on capital ships is
that we cannot go much further re-
garding the limitation of numbers,
but we are anxious to go the limit
In reduction Of tonnage and armaS
ment, and also considerably lengthen
the life of capital ships.
"Our notion is that the capital
ship must be impervious to attack
by air. sea or under water. For
this we regard the present monsters
with Is and Is inch guns as un-
necessarily large.
12.Inch Guns
"Our idea of sufficiency is
ship carrying 12.inch guns and
ranging in tonnage from $4,000 to
27,5O0.
Compared with present size such
ships would mean a staggering re-
duction in cost without loss of ef.
ficiency.
"Cabled reports from Washington
that France and Italy might object
to discussion of capital ships at
the proposed conference are ludi-
crous.
"It Is certain. of course, that
possible disagreements between
France and Italy regarding naval
equality may present us with
greater difficulty than anything
else ait the conference. but it will
not be- regarding capital ships.
The informant revealed that rapid
progress has been made between
Britain and America in discussion
Of the cruiser issue.
The naval authority went on:
