London, July, 28.

In view of the decision of Japan not to limit to 14-inch guns the armament of her navy, the British Admiralty is now considering whe ther it is wise, if it is intended to mit His Majesty's ships to 35,000 tons, to arm them with. 14-inch weapons or whether they should have 16-inch guna.

This was the statement made by Lord Stanhope; speaking ror. The Government, during the House or Lords debate on the London Naval Treaty Bill to-day. This measure was given second reading.

Lord Stanhope said that 14-inch guns might have as good range as 16-inch." "If you can get a good salvo with your - 14-inch guns be- fore the other fellow with the 18- Inch guns is able to hit you, the, odds are you will win the battle," he declared,
