NAVAL COMPETITION
AMERICA SUGGESTS A HALT. (Per Press Association —Copyright). NEW YORK, December 26. The Washington correspondent of the New York “Times” learns that the United States madei diplomatic overtures last summer to Britain for another Intel-national Conference on the Limitation of Armaments, but these failed, owing to the latter’s contention | that the cruisers and auxiliary ships should be left as they were. It is understood that the United States wished that the 5-5-3 ratio should be applied to these vessels, and intimated that the United |Bta:tes thereafter would also begin informal conversations with, the other Powers who signed the WashingI ton Treaty, but these have _ not yet I reached a point where there is a reasonable prospect of success. There is a feeling in certain Senatorial circles that the negotiations will not meet with success, but rather result in sterner competition among the United States and other Powers in cruiser construction.
