In the aircraft carrier category, the United States has two completed and one building, not counting the Langley, which under the treaty is classified as an experimental craft; Great Britain has six in operation, and Japan, one building and three in commission.

The Japanese and Italian plans are not available in Washington. The first of | the United States’ 11 destroyers will not be laid down until next Winter, possibly early in 1932 Should the general board forward to President Hoover a comprehensive long- term building program, as expected by officials of the department, it might be somewhat embarrassing to him, in the opinion of observers, because of the fact he has taken the lead in linking dis- armament with the international debt moratorium. | according to Department, { JAPANESE SECRETARY PLEASED { there two day: BY SHARE IN HENDERSON ESTATE!'
