London, Mar. 25.
Great Britain and the United States have set the world an example by agreeing to maintain parity of fighting fleets, it was disclosed to-day when France, America and Britain signed a six-year treaty limiting naval armaments by size and displacement, but without restricting the number of vessels any party to the agreement may build.
Mr. Norman Davis, the American, representative, and Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, effected a bi-lateral equality agreement by the exchange of notes. Mr. Davis emphasised that Anglo-American equality remains the United States guiding policy and Mr. Eden, in his acknowledgment, said Britain adheres to the policy of parity.
At the ceremony of the signing of the treaty, Mr. Davis spoke, pleading for real limitation of armamenta and expressing the hope that the new treaty would lead to a more inclusive one. Indirectly, he pleaded with Japan, Italy, Germany and Russia to adhere to the terms of the new treaty.
Mr. Davis declared he was glad to be able to sign, "thus assisting to carry forward certain fundamental principles of naval limitation, which with the good will of all paval powers will provent the breaking down of the Washington and London Treaties on their expiration.”
He stressed that the United States, regrets that the Treaty does not pro- vido for quantitative limitation, on
which point the attitude of the United
States has not changed since 1931.
Must Avoid Competition
He believed that the only possible: solution of stablising feets was to prevent competitive building. How not yet montioned the hope of achieving future quantitativa limita- tion.

The gold mining tax will replace the present triple scheme and bo levied on the taxable income of the mine as determined for income tax purposes.
Of the loans domiciled in London, £18,500,000 will be repaid in the course of the next six months and the necessary funds for this purpose will be obtained from local loans, the issue of which will afford an outlet for the Union's surplus funds.
When these London loans are re- pald the Union's' debt will be £104,- 000,000, which is £2,000,000 less than when the Union was established. There was a surplus in 1936-36 "of £3,000,000.
