C. Bridgeman, first lord of the British admiralty. Without naming the United States, Mr, Bridgeman hinted broadly that maintenance of large sized. warships might be construed as aggressive rather than defens: The first lord declared it was im- possible to arrive at a low total ton- nifge if the maximum tonnage in each type of warship was to be pushed up into types that became aggressive weapons. ‘Arguing that the British proposals were based entirely on a desire to give Great Britain proper security and defense, he said “the more tl is understood, the more will be the hope of getting an agreement.” Mr, Bridgeman declared that Great Britain had not favored the 10,000 ton “offensive cruisers” when these were authorized at the Washington | conference of 1922, and that she only; has~ them now ‘because she was! lobliged to, build some in self pro-! tection.
