Official cirides decline to comment on me progress of the Anglo-American naval negotiations until America replies to Britain’s proposals. There are hints, however, that it is correct that Britain offered to .limit her aggregate of cruisers to 340 000 ions, leaving United States something between 295 and 305,000. It is denied that Britain protested against Shearer’s propoganda activi- • ies at the Geneva Naval Conference.
