THE NAVAL TREATY.
SCRAPPING OF SHIPS. TOTAL FOR EACH POWER. BIG REDUCTIONS. ’ By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright, Received Jan. 20, 5.5 p.m. Washington, Jan. 19. It is understood that with a view to meeting Japanese sensitiveness, the naval treaty does not contain any direct reference to the ratio figures which are indirectly provided by special totals. The tonnage treaty preamble merely records a desire to contribute to the maintenance of general peace and a reduction of the burden of armaments. When the treaty is effective the United States will be obliged to scrap 31 ships, Britain 22, and Japan 18, all abandoning any further building programme. The United States and Japan will scrap no more till 1934, Britain will scrap four more in 19135, and France and Italy will start replacing in 1927.—Au5.N.Z. Cable Assn.
