The Australians went in on Saturday and were dismissed for a total of 296, *. Of this, McCabe made 58; Richardson 65 and Kippax 93.

Replying, Mr. Ramsay Mac- Donald said that at the time when the preliminary negotiations took place, in August and September last, with the United States, the question of cruiser replacement was considered by the Admiralty and a figure of 91.000 tons was put forward for now tonnage to be completed by the end of 1986, This figure was employed in the ensuing conversations, which had for their object the removal of the earlier difficulties in regard to cruiser limitation.

These preliminary converse- tions were for the purpose only of clearing the ground prior_to the London Conference: The figure of 91,000 tons was finally fixed during the Conference, when, after negotiations with the United States and Japan, it was found that it met the British replace- ment requirements within terms of the Treaty.
