THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” L. XXXIV., NO. 5203. JUNEAU, ALASKA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER | 4, 1929. MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTS ~ RITISH SOLDIERS BEGIN EVACUATION OF RHINELAND (FERENCE ON (VAL AFFAIRS AOW PROMISED General Meeting Looms for! Early During Month of Next December AMERICA AND GREAT BRITAIN IN ACCORD Japan, France and Italy Expected to Join Move- ment for Reduction WASHINGTON, Sept. 14—As a| result of virtual agreement be-| tween America and Great Britain upon the fundamental p.%nciples of equality in cruiser strength, a General Naval Conference is in prospect for early in December, so successfully have been negotiations with London. These negotiations began with the inception of th~ Hoover and| MacDonald regimes. That the General Naval Confer- ence will be attended by Japan,| France and Italy, as well as Eng- land and America, is definitely promised. The United States intends to ask that the present ten-year pro- gram of the construction of capital ships be extended from 1931 to 1936 and by then it is expected the way will be open for further; curtailment in tonnage leading to the elimination of this type of ves- sel as a fighting unit. But one single difference of opin- | jon is reported in the way of n| complete Anglo - American accord and that is the problem of cruiser parity. This concerns some 30.000‘ tons of cruiser strength, whether it is to be embodied in three larger vessels ‘@ Ziva <maller ones. ———————— TEN DAYS CU OFF SEASON N YAKUTATDIST.
