WASHINGTON,” U. T, TUESDAY, APRIC 30, 1935. NAVAL PROGRAN HELDUNCHANGED Britain’s Use of Escalator Clause Not to Increase American Fleet. WoobwARD & LLoTHROP 10™ 1™ F AND G StrEETS Puone District S300 Profit by the substantial savings offered in the reduction of BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. In well-informed quarters it was stated today that the eventual in- vocation of the “escalator clause” by Great Britain will not affect the naval building program of the United States. 4 The escalator clause was inserted in the London naval agreement of 1930 by the far-seeing British naval experts. It provides that if at any time during the life of the treaty Great Britain's sea power should be menaced by the naval constructions of other powers which have not par- ticipated in the 1930 agreement the British government has the latitud: to incfease its fleet after giving due notice to the other signatories. U. 8. Also Has Right. P SBuch new British constructions 5 ? ' R ed u ced to would upset the priciple of parity between the United States and the British Navy. The United States has the right to increase its building pro- gram to match any new British con- structions. As a result of the news that Ger- f many has decided to build submarines ; and probably airplane carriers, it is = F . * Finer Foundation Garments considered here likely that Great Britain will avail itself of the esca- lator clause. ‘The fact that the American build- ing program had been neglected dur- ing the previous administrations has forced the present administration to put on the slips a large number of ships in order to obtain a treaty- strength Navy by 1942, It is be- lieved in well-informed quarters that if the British start building new de- stroyers and submarines to answer the German challenge the United States will not follow Britain's lead, because the navy yards are fllled practically to capacity. Furthermore, & new European naval race is not unduly worrying the.
