NO SERIOUS DIFFERENCES
AMERICA AND BRITAIN OUTLXpING OF SUBMARINES By Cable. — Preen Association.—Copyright Reed. 8. am. WASHINGTON, Mon. Washington administration circles believe that the differences between the American and the British proposals for building auxiliary naval craft is not serious enough to prevent an agreement being reached. It is pointed oat that the basic American principle of a 5-5-3 ratio is apparently acceptable to Britain, while the United States- Government will probably .accept the British proposal to limit the size of submarines. This is in line with the American delegation’s expressed willingness to outlaw submarines if all nations agree, though such an agreement is now Impossible because of French opposition. The British proposal to limit cruisers to 7,600-ton ships, after the conference agrees on the number of 10,000-ton cruisers permissible, will probably be acceptable to the United States. This would allow the United States fifteen 10,000-ton ships, to equal the same number already built or authorised by Britain.—A. and N.Z.
