The feature of a debate in the House of Commons yester- day on the London Naval Treaty was the production by Mr: Winston Churchill of a secret document which was sent to Lord Balfour by Lord Curzon during the Washington Naval Conference nine years ago, The most important section of the document quoted runs:-"We cannot, in face of the French freedom to construct a great submarine fleet, apart from the submarine and cruiser construction of other Powers, cater into any agreement fettering our liberty to build whatever numbers and classes of cruisery and anti-submarine craft we think neces- sary to maintain our national and Imperial life."
Mr. Churchill was criticised by Mr. Lloyd George for dis-killed in the disaster, Rear-Admiral closing the document, the outcome being a suggestion by Mr. R.A.S. Hill explained that there Baldwin that experienced Cabinet members, should consider were naval organisations which had had much experience what documents ex-Ministers were privileged to disclose.
