AGREEMENT LIKELY
AMEBICA AND BEITAIN
(United Press Association*—Copyright.) (Received 21st June, 10 a.m.)
WASHINGTON, 20th June,
Administration circles believe that the differences between the American and British proposals for limiting auxiliary naval craft are not serious enough to prevent an agreement. It is pointed out that the basic American principle of the 5-5-3 ratio is apparently acceptable to Britain, while the United States Government will probably accept the British proposal, limiting the size of submarines. This is in line with the American delegation's expressed willingness to outlaw submarines, if all nations agree. Though such agreement is now impossible • because of French opposition, officials declare that the British proposal to limit cruisers to 7500-ton ships, after the conference agrees on the number of 10,000-ton cruisers permissible, will probably be acceptable to the United States. This would allow tho United States fifteen 10,000-ton ships to equal tho same number already built or autlwrised by Britain.
