Expected
agreement
may
be
reached
possibly
along
lines
of
proposals
made
by
United
States
GENEVA,
June
21.
The
formation
of
committees
of
experts
to
study
the
limitation
of
cruisers,
destroyers
and
submarine
was
decided
on
at
today's
meeting
of
the
executive
committee,'
of
the
naval
conference,
V.
C.
Bridgeman,
representative
of
Great
Britain,
was
chosen
chairman.
Yesterday's
session
produced
a
feeling
of
expectation
that
an
agreement
may
he
reached
on
submarines
both
as
to
the
number
to
be
built
by
each
country
and
the
total
tonnage.
One
of
the
mosl
hopeful
signs
was
the
disposition
of
the
British
to
discuss
figures
oi
total
submarine
tonnage,
which
had
been
previously
avoided.
The
hope
was
expressed
that
the
British
might
find
a
way
to
accept
me
unuea
dvbicb
pro
posals
In
regard
to
cruisers
and
de
stroyers.
The
committee
on
cruisers
wilt
study
the
British
scheme
for
reducing
the
tonnage
of
cruisers
from
ten
thousand
tons
to
seven
thousand
five
hundred
tons.
This
would
Involve
the
re-opening
of
questions
decided
at
the
Washington
conference.
The
Japanese
notified
the
British
that
the
re-openlng
of
the
Washington
agreements
exceeds
the
man
dates
of
the
present
conference.
