NAVAL TONNAGE
THE BRITISH MISSION TO GERMANY COMMUNIQUE ISSUED IN BRITAIN. REFERENCE TO FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE. (British Official Wireless., RUGBY, December 31. The British naval mission headed by Vice-Admiral Cunningham, Deputy Chief of the Naval Staff, was due to return to London from Berlin today. A communique issued in London stated: “The conversations were held in a most friendly atmosphere. The representatives of the two Governments expressed their views on the points at issue and Germany will in due course give a definite reply in writing. The “Daily Telegraph” says it cannot be pretended that the steps proposed by Germany are in any way welcome in Britain. The German proposals to build up to her 35 per cent quota of eight-inch gun cruisers and up to her 100 per cent quota in the matter of submarines will, if unmodified by the discussions in Berlin, necessitate an acceleration of the British programme of destroyers and escort vessels.
