The Government would further limit the tonnage and the gun calibre of aircraft carriers, and suggests that ships of 10,000 tona and under should be included in the total tonnage of this category

A great reception was given to Mr. Im by the Cham- ber of Commerce and more than 200 representatives of various organisations gave him a tumultu-

Mr. Li Hoi-wan has succeeded Mr. Chung Hi-chek as Magistrate of the Toyshan district. Mr. Wong Wai-yuk, Maglatrate of Sanwui, bas not been permitted to resign.
The s.8. San Nam Hoi, from Hong Kong, has been aground in this part of the West River delta. After China New Year, the Hong Kong steamboats Paul Beau and Charles Hardouin ceased coming here, so that the number of boats between the two ports has been reduced to two each day. Accordingly, pas- sage money has been raised to its
maximum.
Chinese New Year
In spite of Government prohibi- tion, Chinese New Year was cele- brated here in time-honoured fashion. There was one exception, namely, the Sunning Railway work- ed as usual instead of enjoying a holiday.
Cargo junks, especially those in the valuable fruit trade, have been held up of late, but passenger town boats have been maintained as usual, excepting of course, for the New Year holidays.

It proposes the reduction of the total aircraft tonnage for the Bri- tish and United States Navies from 195,000 tons and an adjust ment of the Treaty to, say, 100,000 tons and, an adjustment of that
assigned to other nations in the Washington Treaty ratios.
It further proposes that the maximum size of aircraft carriers should be reduced to 25,000 tons, and that their age be 26 years In- stead of 20.
Empire and Cruisers Regarding cruisers, the memor andum recalls that it was assum- ed during the recent British American conversations that they should be grouped in one category which, in
turn, ahould be sub- divided into cruisers, carrying & inch guns and cruisers carrying 6-inch guns and under.

Nanking,. Yesterday. The Ministry of Railwaya has dis- closed the following changes on the Nanking-Shanghal Railway:

£3,500 Renumeration The Ministry.will pay to the Sino- British Corporation a sum of £3,500 annually as renumeration for hand- ling the Railway bonds, but no commission will be further paid for

It is learned that the Ministry of Railways is negotiating a loan of £20,000,000 with the financiers in London for the completion of the Shao Railways, subject to the con- Tung-cheng, Ching-Yang and Chu-

It was also assumed during the negotiations that the requirements the British commonwealth would be 339,000 tons, divided into 50 cruisers. A final arrange-bo agreed upon the British Government ment will be governed by the de- will put forward proposals limiting elsion of the conference regarding submarines rigidly to defence require- the limitation in size of units.
The British Government pro- poses that the existing tonnage limit of 8-inch cruisers should remain at 10,000 tons, and that there should be a tonnage limit for smaller vessels at about 6,000 or 7,000 tons.
It suggests that only a fixed proportion it the latter class should be built up to that limit, and that the life of cruisers 'should be 20 years.
Limit for Destroyers In regard to destroyers, the Govern should be for leaders 1,850 tons, and ment proposes that the limit assigned
for destroyers 1,500 tons, with 8-inch guns maximum for both classes.
The present British building pro- gramme of destroyer is for 200,000 tons ultimately, but this can be reduced if the aubmarine programmes of other Powers are reduced, for it is obvious that the size and total tonnage of des- size and total tonnage of submarines. troyers must largely depend upon the

In any case, it will presa for the limitation of the submarine to lowest possible ilmit, and it pro poses to urge the revival of the agreement signed at Washington in 1922, but not ratified by all signatory Powers, which would regulate in the interests of ha- manity the use of submarines against merchant ships.
In regard to auxiliary vessels not strictly entered into the feet strengths the Government proposes that they should be specified, and that each Gov ernment should publish yearly lists of vessels of this class in commision as laid down.
