London, July 3. The reference by Mr. Lloyd George, in a speech in London yesterday, to the British attitude regarding the abolition of submarines in the recent Anglo-German naval conversations were declared to be absolutely without foundation by the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, in the House of Commons to-day. The denial was received with loud cheers.
Mr. Lloyd George had stated that he had been told that Germany had offered to abolish submarines, but that Britain was not prepared to accept the offer. He added that he hoped the report was inaccurate.
In denying the report, Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell said it was contrary to the plain facts.
The German representatives had
- reaffirmed the willingness expressed by Herr Hitler on May 1 to agree to the abolition of submarines if other countries would do the same. ritain had long taken a lead in o endeavour to secure the aboll- of submarines and had re- for this policy entedly pressed since the Washington Conference Reuter Special,

PERRY DEFEATS CRAWFORD
MEETS VON CRAMM IN FINAL
SPLENDID ENGAGEMENTS
AT WIMBLEDON
London, July 3.
The Wimbledon championship final will be. fought by F. J. Perry, the present holder, representing Eng- land, and Baron von Cramm, German champion, two of the greatest exponents of the game over to meet in this tennis classic. Perry advanced to the final at the ex- pense of Jack Crawford, the Australian ace, and von Cramın subdued the copper-headed Donald Budge, California prodigy,
Both Perry and von Cramm have been playing at the top of their form. They have faced stiff competi- tion during their progress through the earlier rounds, and they have given impressive displays. Von Cramm's victory over Budge was only attained after some of the most beautiful tennis seen at Wimbledon in years.
Perry's win over Crawford was superb. Perry played marvellous tennis and all the Australian could do was to keep alive the rallies and gather what points he could.
Perry dominated the game with hla spoed and power and placing. The Australlan lacked Porry's
