London, Mar. 18.

The British Government intends to stick to 14-inch guns for 35,000-ton battleships if all other powers do the same, declared Sir Samuel Hoare, first lord of the admiralty, replying to a question in the House. of Commons with regard to the report that Japan might adopt 16-inch guns, during the report stage debate on naval estimates.

Sir Samuel added he still hoped it would be possible to implement the naval agreement reached at London last year. It would be a great calamity for the world If such understandings were not carried out by the great naval powers "and we saw again the start of competition amongst new types and sizes."

Sir Samuel said that while he had no offctal information as to Japan's intentions, it would be a matter of the greatest regret if any started to bull bigger than 14-inch guris or ships beyond 35,000 tons.

"As far as Britain la concerned we intend to stick to 14-inch guns for the 35,000-ton battleship, if all other naval powers do the same; and there is the widest measure of agree- inent between certain of the

naval powers." He was sure these limits much better for the world as a a whole, and he did not think that any navy would lose In any way in eilelency.
