II.S. ML STRENGTH
DEPENDS ON RESULT
OF GENEVI1 PARLEY
IF TRIPARTITE CONFERENCE
FAILS WILL WEAKEN LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
GENEVA, June 24. (/P)—Whether
Great Britain and Japan are ready
to agree on limination, if not reduc
tion, of their naval strength is the
question which the American govern
ment desires to see answered at the
1 three-power naval conference which
[opened here June 20.
; The answer—affirmative or nega
tive, as the case mav be—is expect
led to determine whether the United
[States will be content with keeping
| up her present naval power, or, push
led into preparedness, decide to de
velop considerablv her fleets, per
! haps, indeed, entering a naval arma
ment race, which President Coolidge
has indicated he wishes to avoid.
The conference, convoked by Pres
ident Coolidge, is vital for the three
participants, the United States,
Great Britain and Japan, but in a
wider sense its result is expected to
influnce the problem of world dis
armament in its entirety.
If satisfactory, experts are con
vinced it will help forward the gen
eral conference for reduction of
armaments—sea, land and air—
| which the League of Nations is pre
i paring. If the tripartite parley fails
| they believe it will weaken the gen»
j eral league movement, already en
feebled by the failure of the prepara
tory disarmament commission to se
cure accord on big issues, including
i that of the best methods of reducing
navies.
The object of the three-power con
ference is to evolve a treaty for
the reduction or limitation of naval
strength in cruisers, destroyers and
[submarines. The Washington con
ference has already taken care of
i battleships and air-craft carriers and
I limited the size of individual cruis
j ers to 10,000 tons, though it in no
| way restricted the total number or
| total tonnage of cruisers which the
| great powers may build. Since the
[Washington conference both Great
Britain and Japan have jumped far
ahead of the United States in cruiser
strength.
Counting ships built, building or
projected, American figures show
that the t nited States has IS cruis
ers, Japan 32 and Great Britain 71.
Naval technicians think, howeveT,
that a fairer way of estimating naval
power is by comparing the total
tonnage in a given type of warship.
Using this system, we find that the
United States possesses a total cruis
er tonnage of 155,000, Japan 211,055,
and Great Britain 454,910.
In destroyers, the American posi
tion is more favorable. The United
States has, or will have. 2S4 destroy
ers as against 201 for Great Britain
and 115 for Japan, but many of the
American destroyers have been out
of commission since the war. Ameri
can submarines number 126 as a
gainst 90 for Great Britain and 76
for Japan.
