A COMPLETE FIASCO.
NAVAL LIMITATION CONFERENCE AMERICAN POLITICIAN'S VIEW.
(Per Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) WASHINGTON, January 20. The Geneva Conference was described in Congress to-day by Mr Wood (a member of the House of Representatives for Indiana) as/ a complete fiasco, because the United States had no ships to scrap or construction work to stop. He asserted that, failure came in spite of the fact that England might have abandoned further construction of additional cruisers, thus maintaining in a greater degree the ratio agreed upon five years. He declared: "The time has arrived when we must embark upon a mercantile marine programme that will establish the United States in the eyes of the world."
