WASHINGTON TREATY
AMERICAN ADMIRAL'S ALLEGATIONS PIECE 0F BRITISH DIPLOMACY SUPREMACY OP THE SEAS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, August 13. (Received August 14, at 9.50 a.m.) Rear-admiral Rodgers (retired), speaking at the Institute of Politics at Williamstown, characterised the Washington Disarmament Conference as a piece of British strategy. He said it was called because Britain objected to the United States having a merchant fleet and a navy bigger than her own, and held up as a bait the idea of settlements in the Far East as its objective, together with the abrogation of the Japanese alliance. “ The result was that the conference treaty destroyed the threatened American supremacy of the seas, and loft England the leading sea Power, for she is developing tlio cruiser class, which the treaty left unlimited, and, further, it released her from the Japanese alliance, which Canada would no longer tolerate.”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
