EFFECT OF PROPOSAL
POSITION • SUMMARISED
(Received Bth February, 11 a.m/) ■-.."; . LONDON, 7th February. The American naval proposal may be summarised thus: The United States recedes from her original claim to have twenty-one 10,000-ton cruisers against Britain's fifteen, so the respective figures eventually will be:. Ar.erica eighteen, Britain, fifteen; giving the former:an advantago of 30,000 tons. She recognises, however,' England's need of smaller cruisers, in which Britain will have an. excess' 40,000. tons, leaving a net cruiser margin in Britain's favour of 12,000 tons. The scheme permits Britain to change her programme- if she thinks necessary by incrasing large cruisers to eighteen, making a proportionate reduction in smaller craft.
