In both cases the figures are net totals. The gross additional ex- penditure on Royal Air Force expats on is actually £1,000,000, but this is reduced by savings on other services to £800,000 gross, towards which thera is an appropriation-in aid of £205,000.

Cruisers, "B" class. -7,500 to 8,000 tons, with 6-1-inch guns."

Submarines. 2,000 tons, with 5.1- inch guns.

The corresponding figures for capit al ships were 35,000 tons, with a possible reduction of 2,000 or 3,000 tona,and 14-inch guns. It is well-known that these limits are considered by the European Powers in the Conference: to be higher than are necessary on technical grounds the British Govern- ment, indeed, have but forward a pro- posal for substantial reduction. It is also well-known that professional opinion in the United States favours the perpetuation of the larger, more heavily armed, ships. This is sp. pareatly the point upon which further discussion is needed in order to reach. agreement.
