Naval
Conference
Breaks
Up
Result
of
Differences
Regard
to
Cruiser
Specifications
GENEVA,
August
4.
The
tripartite
naval
conference
came
to
an
end
today.
After
nearly
seven
weeks'
discussion
the
dele-gates
of
Great
Britain,
United
States
and
Japan
were
unable
to
reach
an
agreement
on
the
limitation
of
cruisers,
destroyers,
and
submarines,
which
was
the
object
of
the
conference.
After
a
vote
of
thanks
to
Hugh
Gibson,
American
representative,
moved
by
Right
Hon.
W.
C.
Bridgeman,
seconded
by
Viscount
Ishii,
a
joint
motion
of
adjournment
declared
that
the
governments
of
the
three
powers
be
invited
to
give
new
consideration
to
the
problems
involved
in
the
hope
of
reaching
an
early
solution.
The
conference
also
registered
its
conviction
that
the
obstacles
to
an
agreement
at
Geneva
should
not
be
accepted
as
terminating
efforts
to
bring
about
limitation
of
armaments.
A
last
moment
attempt
of
Britain
to
rescue
something
from
the
wreckage
was
when
Mr.
Bridgeman
proposed
that
the
agreement
be
restricted
to
destroyers
and
submarines.
Mr.
Gibson
declined
to
entertain
the
suggestion.
The
underlying
cause
of
failure
is
believed
to
have
been
the
difficulty
to
come
to
an
agreement
on
the
eight-inch
cruisers.
The
British
wanted
the
Americans
to
specify
in
the
treaty
how
many
cruisers
capable
of
carrying
eight-inch
guns
they
contemplated
building
in
addition
to
the
ten-thousand
ton
cruisers.
This
the
Americans
declined
to
do.
The
British
contended
that
eight-inch
cruisers
were
"offensive"
warships
and
she
must
know
in
advance
how
many
the
United
States
was
to
build
so
that
she
could
construct
likewise.
The
delegates
added
that
too
many
large-sized
cruisers
would
increase
British
tonnage
needs
and
pointed
out
that
national
requirements
including
protection
of
trade
food
routes
obliged
her
to
maintain
a
cruiser
strength
of
seventy.
