on a relative ratio OF construction
Of cruisers OF between 5000 and
10000 tons displacement. but for
no limitation as to cruisers OF less
than 5000 tons.
It Is called for limitation OF sub
marines Of from coo tons up TO the
Washington treaty minimum size OF
10000 tons, but for no limit Of
undersea boats OF less than 600 tons.
This proposal died with formal
rejection by the United States as a
possible basis Of new naval hmita-
ton negotiations.
The fourth attempt to obtain
complete naval limitation was in
itiated by President Hoover soon
after his Inauguration.
His willingness TO make conces-
sions from previous American ideas
were disclosed at a subsequent
meeting of the league commission
at Geneva, held during the election
campaign that brought Ramsay
Macdonald, labor chief, into power
as British prime minister.
Mr. Macdonald urged acceptance
Of the Hoover overtureS. There
followed his conversations with
Ambassador Dawes and visit TO the
United States 10 eliminate negotia-
tons for an Anglo naval
accord as n basis for calling a new
five-power naval limitation and re-
duction conference.

WASHINGTON R-The fourth
attempt since 1921 to eliminate al
competitive building among the five
chief naval powers viii be under
taken at the London conference
January 81.
Each Of the preceding efforts
failed because of conflicting views
among the governments as to the
type and number Of cruisers or sub
marines each felt It needed.
The strongly held French view,
that naval ornaments cannot be
treated separately but must be con-
sidered for limitation purposes IL
any final treaty in conjunction with
land ornaments, was an added COM
plication.
At the original Washington naval
limitations conference, calico by
President Harding in 1921, the five
powers-Great Britain, the United
States, Japan, France and Italy
found little difficulty in negotiating
a treaty 10 curb competitive build
ing in ~battleships and airplane car
rierS.
Only Great Britain. the United
States and Japan had or planned
extensive battleship fleets. The
ratio of relative strength In these
heavy ships was then fixed at 5-5-3-
1.T5-1.75 for the five countries in
the order named.
The only part TO become effective
upon ratification was the So ratio
in battleships between the United
States and Japan.
Reduction Of the British battle
ship fleet to reach parity with the
United States was provided for af-
ter a term Of years. 1t would be
arrived ct through working out of
The schedules for replacement OF
obsolete battleships.
Both France and Italy were far
below the relative strength in bat
tleships provided for them. Neither
country as yet attempted to build
up to its It's ratio in that regard.
British invitations to the five
powers Tor a new attempt to apply
both relative limitation Of fleets and
reduction Of tonnage 10 other types
Of war craft, such as cruisers. sub
marines and d~estroyers, reopen only
one phase of the subjects covered
by the Washington treaty.
That is the question of replace
ment Of capital ships. 1t is propos-
cd, a. a result Of preliminary con-
ference between Great Britain and
the United States. to postpone bat
tleship requirements beyond the
dates for each country set down in
the Washington treaty and nov
rapidly approaching for Great Brit
ain. the United States and Japan.
no objection on the part OF the
other three powers 10 this sugges-
ton has been indicated.
The effort Of the Harding admin
istration TO obtain complete naval
limitation in 1922 was baked BY
a dispute between Great Britain

into its deserved acquisition OF new

advantage OF its climate, Is fer
tility and opportunities, and to
develop its resources.
Following q visit OF Mr.. Nc
Reynolds TO Gov. Moody's office,
Moody caused II 70 be announced
that a statewide meeting OF bust
ness and industrial J ders will be
held. which he will attend, TO shape

OF building 100000 tons in cruisers
and 10000 tons III submarines. Great
Britain countered that in view Of
the French program, she could ac-
cept no limitation upon construct
ion OF anti-suhmarine craft, which
means cruisers. d~estroyers and all
smaller types Of combat vessels.
At that point the Washing toncoa-
ference abandoned the effort to
limit by treaty any other form Of
naval construction thai battleships
and aHplane carriers.
It did, however, write treaty def
nitions affecting other categorieS Of
ships. Under the Washington
treaty no vessel other than a battle
ship may carry guns larger than s.
inch bore and no combat vessel
other than a battleship OF airplane
carrier, whether for surface or SUP
surface use, may exceed 10000 treaty
standard tons in displacement.
1t also provided that no merchant
ship could be equipped in peace
time TO carry guns larger than g.
inch bore.
President Coolidge took office in
tent upon renewing the effort TO
limit all types Of naval construction
but his chance to move directly did
not come until 1927.
He then invited the five powers
to reassemble, but France and Italy
found Themselves unable to accept
his invitation. Rather than abandon
the effort completely, Mr.. Coolidge
reduced his project to a t~hree-pover
conference between Great Britain,
the United States and Japan.
That met IN Geneva and made no
progress, due 10 a conflict between
Great Britain and the United State
as 10 the size OF the cruiser flee
each would retain on a parity basis.
The United States wanted Ieduc-
ton TO 250,000 tons: Great Britain
wanted upward of 100000 tons. The
question Of a japanese cruiser ration
was never reached.
Following failure Of the Geneva
conference. the Baldwin ministry
in London negotiated a naval ac-
cord with France.
That accord called for limitation
