ON Sea Pact
Jones, Bristol Continue to
CritiCiSe Cruiser Limit
Before Senate.
RI Tinted Press


WASHINGTON, May 1.-TWO
veteran admirals who are fighting
the London naval treaty continued
their criticism today before the two
senate committees, which are inves-
tigating the treaty preliminary to
senate consideration.
Both of them, Rear Admiral
Hilary P. Jones, who was a confer
ence participant, and Rear Admiral
Mark L. Bristol, who is chairman Of
the navy general boards executive
committee, reiterated their opposi-
ton to division of cruisers into six
and eight-inch types. They favor
the eight-inch type.
Jones, who appeared before both
the foreign relations and naval
committees, declared that Great
Britain always has sought to limit
essentially American type of fight
ing ships, while seeking higher
quota of those suitable to her needs.
He admitted writing a letter in
June, 1929, while preliminary nego-
tiations with Great Britain were
under way, in which he said the
6-inch gun was superior to the g.
inch gun under some circumstances.
Bristol argued before the foreign
relations committee that a naval
conference should not have been
called at this time, contending the
United States was not in a position
to enter a conference until she had
built up her navy further.
