SIGNING OF THE PACT
END OF AUGUST PROBABLY WHAT NAVY REDUCTIONS? (United P.A.—By Telegraph- — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (United Service) Reed Noon. LONDON, Wednesday. Assuming that President Coolidge supports Mr. Kellogg’s idea of signing the peace pact at Paris, it is likely to be in the last week in August, when all the foreign secretaries will be en route to the League Asembly at Geneva. In the House of Comomns, Sir R. J. Thomas (Liberal) inquired what reductions were proposed in the Navy estimates, as a result of the Kellogg pact. The Rt. Hon. W. C. Bridgeman, First Lord of the Admiralty, said the Admiralty had begun to consider the next estimates. It would be most unusual to announce in advance what the Admiralty was likely to do. The pact did not affect the national right to provide self-defence. It was on that basis that Cabinet was finally guided in fixing the Navy estimates.
