GENEVA, July 15th. There is much comment on the fact that Mr. Hugh Gibson did not allude in his statement yesterday to the British proposal for a build- ing programme for cruisers which, if accepted, would lead to naval -holiday.

It is also remarked that several parts of his statement are tradictory to each other.

A special commission is therefore to be sent to Africa, with the fol lowing tertas of reference:

Secondly, to consider which terri- tories could be brought within any such closer union.

Thirdly,-to-make recommenda tions, in regard to possible changes in the powers and constitutions of the various Legislative Councils .of the several territories, both as a result of federation and as a means at of associating immigrants,

Some surprise is expressed what practically amounts to denial that the United States put

Mr. Gibson, now states, "It is obvious that if an agreement could be reached on tonnage levels, as we advocated, it would be im. possible for us during the life of the proposed treaty to add to or Acet such a number of maximum sized cruisers. I clearly informed my colleagues that I was willing to discuss the numbers of such vaa sels, once wo, agreed on the tonnage limitations."
