They could have given it to her the first day and saved all this board bill. I have said all the time that if anything was done at London it would be on battleships and not on cruisers (the thing they went there to settle on). You see Eng- land, on account of her dozens of coaling stations, don’t need battle- ships, and neither does Japan, they want cruisers so they agree to limit something that they don't want but we do.
