These ships ire the battleships Dreadnought, Bel* lerophon, St. Vincent, Tcmeraire. Hercules and Neptune and the battle Inflexible and Indomitable all armed with twelve-inch guns. 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 Conqueror Monarch, Orion, Princess Royal, and New Zealand are enumer ated in the admiralty “return" to the House of Commons. They are 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 hut Secretary Dcnby, In a stntcment last September, indicated that it was not proposed to scrap the vessels un til the Washington trenty comes Into effect. It is assumed in American navnl circles that nil British capital ships armed with anything larger than twelve-inch guns are being simi larly treated. There Is no disposition .In Wash ington official circles to clmllenge 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.
