PRIVILEGE BUILD
II BATTLESHIP
BRITISH PRESS SAYS U. S. WILL
THEREBY HAVE SUPER
IORITY, IF GRANTED
LONDON, Feb., 10, (/P)--The
first official confirmation of the
fact that the United States de
sires the privilege of building
another battleship of the Rod
ney type in connection with the
plan of reducing capital ship*,
in, its fleet and parity between
the United States and England,
came to the conference.
The Rodney and the Nelson,
the two biggest ships in the Brit
ish fleet, have a displacement of
35.000 tons.
The American suggestion to
build another battleship, in con
nection with scrapping others,
caused surprise in British circles
and did not meet with any great
degree of applause.
Great Britain approved the
plan of scrapping capital ships
so that the two countries would
have 15 capital ships each.
The United States feels that
she needs and has the right to
replace the parts scrapped. The
tonnage of the new ship would
make a parity. The British press
took the position that the United
States would have superiority
under these conditions.
