NO FURTHER COMPROMISES
AMERICAN DECLARATION PESSIMISM IN WASHINGTON (United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Received 29th July, 9 a.m.) _ _ WASHINGTON, 28th July. ihe War, State, and Naval Departments, with the knowledge of President Coolidge, after a careful study of the British position, decided to make no further fundamental compromises with the British, declaring that acceptance of the British plan would saddle this Government with an inordinately expensive building programme without achieving parity with Britain.
(Received 29th July, 0.30 a.m.)
WASHINGTON, 28th July
Mr. F. B. Kellogg, Secretary of State, ridiculed the British argument that 10,000-ton ships are relatively more expensive than smaller cruisers. He also took issue with tho British contention that large cruisers are offensive, and that smaller cruisers are only suitable for defence and police work. He instanced the small German cruiser Emden, which proved the most effective sea raider.
