NAVAL LIMITS
A REPORTED AGREEMENT BRITAIN AND UNITED STATES BATTLESHIP TONNAGES AND GUN CALIBRES (Recd This Day, 9.10 a.m.) NEW YORK, June 16. The Associated Press Washington correspondent says a State Department official disclosed that Britain and the United States will shortly be announcing an agreement regarding the size of new super-battleships and their guns. It is reliably indicated it will be along the lines of a recent American proposal for 45,000 ton warships, with 16-inch guns. This represents a compromise, since Britain originally proposed 42,000-ton warships, and the United States 18-in.ch guns, with unlimited tonnage. . \
