.United) Press Association—Copyright J (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) LONDON, July 27.
During the debate in the House of Lords on the second reading of the London Naval Treaty Bill, Earl Stanhope (President of the Board of Education), for the Government, referred to the decision, of Japan not to be limited to 14-inch guns. He said that the British Admiralty would watch the situation very carefully. If it found that Japan or any other nation was building ships above 35,000 tons or with bigger guns than proposed in the treaty, notice could be given that in view of such action the escalator clause could be invoked.”
“There is not the smallest intention that we should send out men to sea in ships inferior to those they may meet of any other Power,” said Lord Stanhope.
