STATEMENT BY
BRITAIN FAILS TO

ANNOUNCEMENT OF REDUCT
ION BATTLE CRUISERS
CREATES INTEREST
S. S. GEORGE WASHINGTON,
Jan., II, (JF)—The announcement
by the First Lord of the Adrnir
ality, Alexander, of Great Brit
ain, that his government will
consent, at the forthcoming Lon
don conference, to reduce the
number of its battle cruisers
from 70 to 50 created considerable
interest among the American
delegates aboard ship.
It is not thought, however,
that the announcement will re
move the British cruiser strength
as a live issue from the London
negotiation.
The feeling, rather, is that the
remaining difficulties have to
do with the size and type of ship
instead of their exact number.
