U 5. REPLY HAILED BY BRITISH PRESS Gratification Expressed That Further Discussions Are Possible. LONDON, September 29.—Sharp criti- | cism of the British government and | gratification that the door was not! slammed upon further discussion were the outstanding points in the majority | of newspaper comments today on the United States’ rejection of the Anglo- Franch naval proposals. Papers also warmly praised the tenor of the Amer-, ican note. In officials quarters it was stated that any comment from the government must be deferred until the cabinet met, prob- probably Tuesday. The Times maintained that the ament and thought that this point was misunderstood, although quite sincerely, in the United States. The paper found that after all there were “clear indica- tions in the American note of a desire for further consideration.” The Morning Post, which is often out- spokenly_critical of the United States, expressed the hope that “the entirely reasonable and friendly tone of the note will assuage the resentment which- is being worked up by a section of the press. The Daily Telegraph again attacked British secrecy over the proposals which were “killed by the American reply as they were bound to be killed.” The paper said diplomatic courtesy, the note made obvious that America did not relish being asked to accept that which had already been rejected. The note was described by the Daily | News as a “model of dignity, clearness | " The paper welcomed | iilingness to continue to find for agreement as a “fine gesture.” The Daily Chronicle could imagine ! nothing more tactless than Great Britain’s apparent assumption that the United States might change its mind, remarking “it might even be construed as studied insolence.” Described As Lucid. The note was called “almost a diplo- matic sensation” by the Daily Mail, which made no further comment. It was described by the Daily Express as dignified, lucid and weighty. The Daily Herzld, Laborite organ, foresaw as a general result, possibly dangerous competition in ship building, “like the old rivalry with German: The paper added: “Anglo-American relations, already bad, are becoming worse and if this continues, the point is not far away at which events will pass beyond control.” ‘The Manchester Guardian termed the British government’s whole handling of the Anglo-French naval accord as a *deplorable reversion to pre-war meth- ©ods of diplomacy.” The Guardian stated that the Geneva conference falled because neither Great Britain nor America could tolerate the thought of the other having greater strength in any type of naval armament. OTHER PLANS FORESEEN. PARIS, September 29 (#).—The ma- Jority of the morning newspapers today| viewed the American note on the An- glo-French naval accord as a polite and firm refusal, which, however, left the door open to other plans. The widely read Petit Parisien and the equally widely read Journal both held this opinion. The Journal was optimistic, pointing out that the Kellogg-Briand pact re- nouncing war had exactly similar be- ginnings. SPECIAL NOTICES. MOVING TO SOME OTHER CITY?

The text of the note to the British and French governments follows: The Government of the United States has received from his majesty’s govern- ment a communication summarizing the understanding reached between the British and French governments as to a basis of naval limitation, which agreement, it is stated, will be sub- mitted to the next meeting of the preparatory commission for the dis- armament_conference. The Government of the United States is willing to submit certain suggestions as to the basis of naval limitation as summarized in the British note. From the communication of the British gov- ernment it appears that: “The limitations which the disarma- ment conference will have to determine will deal with four classes of men of w | | ] ar “(1) Capital ships, i. e., ships of over 10,000 tons or with guns of more than eight-inch caliber. “(2) Aircraft carricrs of over 10,000 tons. “(3) Surface vessels of or below 10,000 tons, armed with guns of more [than six-inch and up to eight-inch Anglo-French proposal was a genuine | d up g effort to avoid a deadlock over disarm- | caliber. ““(4) Ocean-going submarines 600 tons.” Consider Two Classes. As the Washington treaty regulates the first two classes—that is, capital ships and aircraft carriers—the pre- paratory commission will have to con- sider only the last two categories, so far as the signatories of that treaty are concerned. From the foregoing summary of the agreement it appears that the only classes of naval vessels which it is pro- posed to limit under the Franco- British draft agreement are cruisers of or belew 10,000 tons, armed with guns of more than six-inch and up to eight- inch caliber, and submarines of over 600 tons. The position of the Govern- ment of the United States has been and now is that any limitation of naval | armament to be effective should apply to all classes of combatant vessels. The Franco-British agreement provides no | limitation whatever on six-inch gun | cruisers, or destroyers, or submarines of 600 tons or less. It could not be claimed that the types of vessels thus left without limitation are not highly efficient fighting ships. No one would deny that modern cruisers armed with six-inch guns, or destroyers similarly armed. have a very high offensive value, especially to any nation possessing well distributed bases in various parts of the world. In fact, such cruisers consti- tute the largest number of fighting ships now existing in the world. The limitation of only such surface vessels as are restricted in Class 3 of the draft agreement—that is, cruisers of or below 10,000 tons, armed with guns of more than six-inch and up to eight-inch caliber—would be the imposition of re- strictions only on types peculiarly suited to the needs of the United States. The United States cannot accept as a dis- tinct class surface combatant vessels of or below 10,000 tons armed with guns of more than six-inch and up to eight- inch caliber. It is further clearly ap- parent that limitation of this type only would add enormously to the compara- tive offensive power of a nation pos- sessing a large merchant tonnage, on which preparation may be made in times of peace for mounting six-inch over Proposal Cited. At the three-power conference at Geneva in 1927 the British delegation proposed that cruisers be thus divided into two classes: those carrying eight- inch guns and those carrying guns of six inches or less in caliber. They pro- posed further that eight-inch gun cruisers be limited to a small number or to a small total tonnage limitation and that the smaller class of cruisers carrying six-inch guns or less be per- mitted a much larger total tonnage, or, what amounts to the same thing, to a very large number of cruisers of this class. The limitation proposed by the British delegation on this smaller class of cruisers was so high that the Ameri- can delegation considered it, in effect, no limitation at all. This same pro- posal is now presented in a new and even more objectionable form which still limits large cruisers which are suitable to American needs but frankly places no limitation whatever on cruis- ers carrying guns of six inches or less in caliber. This proposal is obviously incompatible with the American posi- tion at the three-power conference. It is even more unacceptable than the proposal put forward by the British delegation at that conference not only because it puts the United States at a decided disadvantage but also because it discards altogether the principle of limitation as applied to important com- batant types of vessels. Much of what has been said above as to vessels in class 3 of the Franco- British agreement applies with equal or greater force to class 4. The Ameri- can Government can not accept as a distinct class of submarine those of over 600 tons leaving unlimited all sub- marines of 600 tons or under. Six-hun- dred-ton submarines are formidable combatant vessels. They carry the same torpedoes as are carried by larger submarines and of equal destructive force within the radius of their oper- ation. They can also be armed with guns of five-inch caliber. The United States would gladly, in conjunction with all the nations of the world, abolish the submarine altogether. however, submarines must be contis The Brighton 2123 California St. N.W.

Should Include All Classes. If there is to be further limitation | | upon the construction of war vessels | | so that competition in this regard be- | tween nations may be stopped, it is the belief of the United States that it hould include all classes of combatant vessels, submarines as well as surface vessels. The Government of the United States | has earnestly and consistently advo- cated real reduction and limitation of naval armament. It has given its best efforts toward finding acceptable meth- ods of attaining this most desirable end. It would be happy to continue such efforts, but it cannot consent to proposals which would leave the door wide open to unlimited building of certain types of ships of a highly efli- clent combatant value and would im- pose Testrictions only on types pecu-| iiarly suitable to American ne ds. | The American Government seeks no special advantage on the sea, but clear- | ly cannot permit itself to be placed in | | for its own needs. | Paris governments late yesterday in re- |ply to the British note ‘of July 31 and tain percentage to be agreed upon. 1! there was an increase in one class of vessels 1t should be deducted from the tonnage to be used in other classes. A proposal along these lines made by France and discussed by the American and French representatives would be sympathetically _considered by the | United States. It expects on the part of others, however, similar consideration Unfortunately, the Franco-British agreement appears to fulfill none of the conditions which to the American Government seem vital It leaves unlimited a very large class of | effective fighting ships and this very | fact would inevitably lead to a recru- descence of naval competition disastrous | to national economy.

REJECTS PACT (Continued_from First Page.) of naval competition disastrous to na- tional economy.” All this was made clear in identic notes delivered to the London and the French communication of August 3. a position of manifest disadvantage. | The American Government feels, f thermore, that the terms of the P British draft agreement in leaving un- limited so large a tonnage and so many types of vessels would actually tend to defeat the primary objective of any | Qdisarmament conference for the re-| duction or the limitation of armament | in that it would not eliminate compe- tition in naval armament and would 1ot effect economy. For all these rea- sons the Government of the United States feels that no useful purpose Would be served by accepting as a ba of discussion the Franco-British pro- posal. Would Defeat Object. The American Government has no objection to any agreement between | France and Great Britain which those countries think will be to their ad- vantage and in the interest of limitation of armament, but naturally cannot consent that such an agreement should be applied to the United States. In order to make quite clear that in declining to adopt the Franco-British agreement as a basis for discussion ot naval limitation it seems appropriate briefly to review the attitude of the | United States regarding the methods of limitation, in order to show that the American Government has consistently favored a drastic proportional limita- tion. The success of the Washington Conference is known to all. It strictly limited all combatant ships and air- craft carriers of over 10,000 tons. In order to bring about such limitation the American Government made great sac- rifices in the curtailment of plans of building and in the actual destruction of ships already built. At the first ses- sion of the preparatory conference the American Government submitted pro- posals which were consistently adhered to at subsequent meetings: 1. That the total tonnage allowed in each class of combatant vessel be pre- scribed. 2. That the maximum tonnage of a unit and the maximum caliber of gun allowed for each class be prescribed. 3. That so long as the total tonnage allowed of each class is not exceeded, the actual number of units may be left to the discretion of each power con- cerned. Geneva Agreement. Within this general plan the Ameri- can proposal at the Geneva Conference was for the United States and the British Empire a total tonnage limita- tion in the cruiser class of from 250,000 to 300,000 tons, and for Japan from 150,000 to 180,000. For the destroyer class for the United States and the British Empire from 200,000 to 250,000, and for Japan from 120,000 to 150,000 | tons. For the submarine class for the United States and the British Empire 60,000 to 90,000 tons, and for Japan 36,000 to 54,000 tons. It was further stated by the American delegation that if any power represented felt justified in proposing still lower tonnage levels for auxiliary craft the American Gov- ernment would welcome such proposal. The purpose of these proposals was that there might bs no competition be- tween the three powers in the building of naval armament, that their respec- tive navies should be maintained at the lowest level compatible with national security and should not be of the size and character to warrant the suspicion of aggressive intent. and finally that a wise economy dictates that further naval construction be kept to a minimum. The Government of the United States remains willing to use its best efforts to obtain a basis of further naval limita- tion satisfactory to all the naval powers, including those not represented at the Three Power Conference in Geneva, |tary Kellogg said, “but clearly cannct | submarines of more than 600 tons. | for |guns of more than 6-inch or up to 8- | inch caliber”— the note said, would | continued as instruments of naval war- “The American Government seeks no special advantage on the sea,” Secre- permit itself to be placed in a position of manifest disadvantage.” Four Classes Listed. Such a situation, he believes, would re- | sult from an application of the French- [ English accord. From the British note outlining the agreement he drew the conclusion that the limitations to be de- termined on the basis of the accord would deal with four classes of war- ships: Capital ships, aircraft carriers of more than 10,000 tons, surface vessely of or below 10,000 tons with guns of from six to eight inches in caliber and ‘The note went on to point out that the first two classes were provided for at the Washington Arms Conference, which would leave only the last two to be dis- cussed by the preparatory commission the disarmament conference to which the Franco-British agreement is to be submitted. This, Secretary Kellogg declared, would leave without restriction surface vessels armed with guns of less than 6- inch caliber and submarines of less than 600 tons, For fighting purposes, he asserted, vessels of this description have a high combat ‘value, particularly to a nation' possessing well distributed naval bases. Impositions Seen. “The limitation of only such surface vessels as are restricted in class 3 of the draft agreement—that is, cruisers of or below 10,000 tons armed with mean the “imposition of restrictions only on types peculiarly suited to the needs of the United States. The United States cannot accept as a distinct class surfate combatant vessels of or below 10,000 tons armed with guns of more than 6 and up to 8-inch caliber. It is further clearly apparent that limitation of this type would add enormously to the comparative offensive power of a nation possessing a large merchant tonnage on which preparation may be made in times of peace for mounting 6-inch guns.” As to submarines, Mr. Kellogg said that much the same idea would apply, and asserted that the United States cannot accept submersibles of more than 600 tons as a distinct class for limitation, leaving smaller types unre- stricted. “Six-hundred-ton submarines,” he said, “are formidable combatant ves- sels. They carry the same torpedoes as are carried by larger submarines and of equal destructive force within the radius of their operation. They | can also be armed with guns of five- inch caliber. Calls for Limitation. “The United States would gladly, in conjunction with all the nations of the world, abolish the submarine altogeth- er. TIf, however, submarines must be fare, it is the belief of the American Government that they should be limited to_a reasonable tonnage or number.” In. conclusion, Mr. Kellogg invited France to submit to the United States for discussion her disarmament plan of a total “global” tonnage for all classes of fighting ships as contrasted with the American proposal of limita- tion by specific classes.
