BRITAIN'S STAND WEAKENING

VULNERABILITY FIRST CONSIDERATION

London, Dec. 2.

While official information is not available, there is reason to bellove the rumours to the effect that Great Britain is weakening in her demand for a twenty-six thousand ton battle- ship at the forthcoming Naval Conference, due to commence December 4. The rumour has a basis in fact, it is stated.

It is understood, however, that a third consideration now weighs largely in the calculations of the British experts. Al- though official circles maintain their very robicent attitude, it in suggested that 26,000-ton battleships cannot be made secure
