In the surprise statement, Secre- tary Stimson said: | “It seems to be the impression that the work of the American delegation at this conference is likely to result in an increase in- stead of a reduction in tonmage of navies of .the world. The ¥surest way to answer that is to givé such results‘as seem to be within reach. Plans Acceptable “Un tn date, the plan which in, its essentials appears to be accept-y eble to America and Great Bri-| tain, provides for a net reduction ! in tonnage of the American fleet | in capital ships, cruisers, destroy-| ers and submarines, built or build- | ing or appropriated for, of over| ‘fln 000 tons and even a larger re- duction on the part of the British! fleet.” BRITISH ESTIMATES LONDON, March 6.—British nav- al estimates for 1930 s total of fifty-one million against fifty-five million pou: a reduction of four unds, said Albert V.
