likely that Continental complications will be involved.

The statement by Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, First Lord of the Admiralty, last Monday that it was un- fortunately necessary to abandon the principle of ratios in an effort to secure new naval limitation agreements, was repeated in the House of Lords to-day by Lord Londonderry, Lord Privy Seal, in reply to Lord Cecil, who asked what was meant by the abandonment of ratios and substitution of a policy of programmes.
Lord Londonderry said there had been no change in the policy of His Majesty's Government, who, so far as they were concerned, would gladly see a continuation of the system of limitation embodied in the Washington
