day by a ropreaentafive of the Brit-

capital ships, “already sold and re-

breaking up.” Eight other vessels

scrapping ns defined in the Washing-
i naval treaty.
The embassy statement Jcclared
that “none of the vessels were
obsolete in the sense of the Washing

secretary of the ambassy, said that
“had it not been for the Washington
conference, none of theso ships
would have been scrapped.”

The Washington conference devel
oped the navnl opinion that ships
rmed with twelve-inch guns were
inferior because of World War
lessons to those carrying heavier
calibres and in that sense nil twelve-
inch gun ships were classified during
the treaty discussion as “obsolete."
There is a recognized difference be
tween the condition of tho fact as to
the weight of guns in existing ships
and ships “obsolete” in the sense of
the Washington treaty, which means
ships twenty years or more old.

Of these eight ships, only the Erin

noted as “to he scrapped under the
Washington treaty.
It is known that theso six ships
are designated in official lists here as
“being ready for disposal,” the lan
guage being similar to that used
in the admiralty “return” which
mentions certain vessels as having
been paid off for disposal.
In American naval circles, this
classification appears to be generally
understood as meaning ships destined
to be scrapped, nnd which are in pro
of being stripped of confidential

last September, indicated that it was
not proposed to scrap the vessels un

than twelve-inch guns are being simi
larly treated.
There Is no disposition .In Wash

the good faith of the British govern
ment in any way, nor to deny that
the British has made greater pro
gress toward scrapping ships actually
afloat tlmn any other power. The

announced desire of the British gov
