ttnued cordially.
While 1t is too soon to make ac-
curate forecasts yet, officials here be-
lieve considerable danger lies in the
plan for transfer of tonnages from one
category to another. The greatest
danger, it was said, lies in the fact that
IL more or less encourages continued
competition, one of the major problems
the London Conference was convened
to settle.
France, for instance, decides to use
part of her battleship or destroyer ton
mage for cruisers, or mine sweepers for
submarines. Instantly Italy or Great
Britain may recognize in this move
ment gesture at them and promptly
begin looking around for categories
from which they can spare tonnage to
threat. The same old jealousies and
fears, it was said, would be reused from
their slumbers instantly.
AS one well informed official ex-
pressed it:
EVERY time you allow transfer the
tendency Is to knock out any idea OF
equality"
IF the plan to authorize the trans
fer of tonnage is carried very lar, II
is quite probable, it was said, tnat a
special agreement between the united
states, Great Britain and Japan would
have to be included in the treaty vol

lapses and the race the London Con-
ference hopes to end is renewed with
greater fury than ever. 1t Is quite pos

could not we'll permit France to trans
fer substantial tonnage from another
category to cruisers. That this situa-
ton viii have to be given careful, con-
sideration later in the conference was
not doubted.

The Importance of submarines also
