TOWARDS

DISARMAMENT.

NEW NAVAL STRENGTHS.

The results of the Naval Conference were outlined by Mr. A. V. Alexander, First Lord of the Admiralty, in a speech at Sheffield. He estimated that the Three Power agreement would mean Britain saving between sixty and seventy million pounds up to 1936. Compared with the figures submitted to the abortive Geneva Conference in 1927, the present Treaty meant a total reduction of the Three Powers of 521,300 tons in cruisers, destroyers and submarines. The agreement would mean the early scrapping of five British and three American battleships and of one Japanese battleship, and restricting the numbers for the countries to 18, 15 and 12 respectively.

Mr. Alexander added that the signatories of the Treaty would Le able to adjust their position in accordance with the con- struction programmes of other Powers outside the agreement. He also referred to the results achieved regarding submarine warfare and spoke of the effect of the results of the Conference on the general move to disarmament. He paid a warm tribute to the Premier and to the American and Japanese delegates particularly.
