FROM TWO ANGLES
NAVAL CONFERENCE’S WORK. NO DECISIONS YET REACHED. . > British Wireless. Rugby, Dec. 20. In addition to the preliminary session of the naval conference on December 9 and one meeting of the heads of delegations there have been seven meetings of the first committee to date. The meetings, which have been conducted in a most friendly atmosphere, have so far been devoted to consideration of the questjon of a system of quantitative limitation of naval armaments. The proposals which have beeh examined up to the present are: First; the Japanese suggestion for the establishment of a common upper limit; second, a United Kingdom scheme for limitations by means of unilateral and voluntary declarations of future naval cori-‘ struction over a period of years. These two proposals have been examined from every aspect with great attention. It has been considered that the best method of approach to the problem confronting the conference is a preliminary review of possible solutions with the object of determining from such an analysis the possibility of an agreed scheme. ' J -i ; • While, therefore, the discussions have indicated a general feeling that some form of quantitative limitation would be of great value, no final decision as to the principles underlying the alternative methods under examination has yet been reached. The committee will meet again on January 6.
