HOPES OF APPROVAL -

BY THE SENATE.

FURTHER ANGLO-AMERICAN

NOTES.

[UNITED PRESS.]

Washington, May 20.--Adminis- tration leaders to-day expressed the hope that the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee would submit a

favourable report on the London Naval Limitation Treaty next Monday and that the Senate as a whole would be able to consider the pact before the adjournment.

Despite the opposition of the General Board, the adoption of the treaty is believed to be virtually certain, although a continuance, of consideration from the regular session to the "short session"" open- ing December. is considered a possibility.

Rear-Admiral Joel R. P. Pringle said to the Senate Foreign Re- lations Committee jo-day :--

I am unable to subscribe to the alteration of the relative American and Japanese naval strength be cause the 5-4-3 ratio gave America a chance, while the new treaty tessens its chances of successful

Admiral Pringle said that the United States needed 15 six-inch- gun cruisers, and that the remain- der of its additions should be eight : bigger cruisers. These were need- ed, he declared, because the British. and Japanese fleets had seven, battle cruisers.

was in charge of the members' bank, 'änd asked him for 8200. Mr. Tait seeing that he wore a member's badge gave him the money and took | operation" a cheque from him which was sub- sequently returned to the Race Club, marked "refer to drawer." The police were informed of the incident when it WIS discovered that Konovaloff was not a member, of the club. Det-Sub-Insp. White made inquiries and learned that accused had signed several other cheques on the bank which were dishonoured. The bank had warn- ed the accused of cheques continu- ously being dishonoured, and ask- ed him to withdraw his balance.

In the second case, the police alleged that. prisoner's friend had Furthased $68.50 worth of goods from No. 188 Szechuen Road, and his companion had signed a cheque" which was taken from his cheque book, with a fictitious name..

Konovaloff admitted both char- ges, but denied that he had gained entrance to the members' stand by being in possession of a member's badge. Prisoner said the only rea son why Mr. Tait had cashed his cheque was because he was wearing. a new suit and looked respectable.

Mr. Tait on being questioned by the Judge was emphatic in that the accused had a member's badge. otherwise, he would have not cash- ed the cheque. Mr. Tait, with the Court's permission, asked the ac cused how he could have gained en trance to the member's stand if he had not been wearing a badge, and prisoner replied that he was well dressed on that occasion and pass ed as a member.

Judge Hyni, who was sitting. with Procurator. Chau, said he would adjourn' the case and allow

A conference is to be convened in Shanghai next month by Mr. T. V. Soong, Minister of Finance, to dis euss questions relating to the aboli- tion of likin, and Mr. Li Hung Chi has arrived in Shanghai for the. purpose of making the necessary arrangements.

The Chinese Press (quoted by the NC. Daily News) mentioned that Mr. Li had ordered the financial authorities of the different pro- vinces to send their liki.collection. offcials to Shanghai before the end of this month so that the confer ence may be held early in June: Mr. Lo, who is chairman of the Commission for the Abolition of Likin, says that the National Gov- ernment has given an undertaking to abolish-lilin-before-October-10- 1930, and, as this date is fast ap pronebing, measures must be dis cussed immediately,

Rear-Admiral Jehu V. Chase in- sisted that the treaty would create "a misfit American Navy without parity," and he also said that the Washington Treaty's prohibition of the development of naval bases on the Pacific made the defence of United States' Pacific interests dif- ficult. Admiral Chase võiced objec tion the escalator clause" be- cause he felt that it was bound to react unfavourably upon America.

Article 19 of the Treaty, he said, permitted Great Britain to make unlimited substitution of eight-inch guns for six-inch. He declared that the permitted modernization of American ships would not make them the equals of the British ships Rodney and Nelson.
