Other Geneva reports of a serious disagreement between Britain and the United States regarding the limitation ■>£ the proposals are not supported by My Gibson’s »4viees. Meantime rcp._ from Tokio declare that Admiral Salto will seek to offset the. disadvantages of an unfavourable ratio by proposing that America, Britain and Japan shall conclude a tri-par-tite security agreement.
