It

General
Naval
Conference
Is
Proposed
by
United

to
Be
Held
In
December
This
Year
All
Classes
of
Battle
Craft
Would
Be

Parley
Possible
Through

WASHINGTON,
Sept.
14.
A
general
naval
conference,
to
consider
all
classes
of
fighting
craft,
from
battleships
to
submarines,
is
proposed
for
ear
y
in
December,
The
calling
of
the
conference
is
made
possible
by
an
agreement
in
principle
between
Great
Britain
and
the
United
States
on
parity
in
cruiser
strength,
which
has
been
a
stumbling
block
to
full
naval
limitations
since
the
Washington
arms
conference
in
1921.,
Japan,
France,
Italy,
and
other
powers
signatory
to
the
Washington
Treaty
are
to
be
Invited
to
the
conference
at
which
the
United
States
government
will
propose
that
a
five-year
holiday,
In
construction
of
capital
ships,
be
extended
from
1931
to
1936.
The
view
here
is
Uiat
by
1936
there
should
be
opportunity
for
a
second
conference,
at
which
it
might
be
possible
to
take
greater
steps
for
the
reduction
of
flight
ing
ships
In
all
categories,
as
by
that
time
the
navies
would
be
stabilized.
It
Is
officially
stated
here
that
the
discussion
between
the
United
States
and
Oreat
Britain,
on
the
cruiser
question,
has
been
nar
rowed
down
to
the
proposition
whether
some
thirty
thousand
ton
cruisers
be
embodied
In
three
craft
carrying
eight
Inch
guns
or
four
or
five
smaller
ships
carrying
six
inch
guns.
This
size
,
of
weapon
has
long
been
favored
by
Great
Britain
for
practically
all
cruisers.

Application
for
Lease
Just
East

Aftter
considerable
discussion
on
the
matter,
the
Prince
Rupert
Board
of
Trade,
on
motion
of
W.
O.
Fulton
and
M.
P.
McCaffery,
last
night
adopted
a
recommendation
from
a
special
committee
con
sisting
of
Thomas
McClymont,
Max
Heilbroner
and
J.
W.
Scott
that
the
provincial
government
lease
to
M.
Y.
Alvazoff
and
Interests
sufficient
waterfrontage
on
the
outer
east
side
of
Cow
Bay
to
permit
them
to
put
up
their
proposed
cold
storage
and
ice
plant
and
fishermen's
and
dealers'
floats.
Mr.
Alvazoff
asked
that
275
feet
of
waterfront
Just
east
of
the
mouth
of
Cow
Bay
be
Tec
ommended,
but
the
committee
report
left
the
amount
of
footage
open.
The
understanding
is
that
the
provincial
government
will
not
lease
the
site
unless
the
cold
storage
project
Is
actually
proceeded
with.
Mr.
Fulton,
In
moving
adoption
of
the
report,
felt
that
no
contro
versy
as
to
whether
or
not
the
board
should
support
the
project
seemed
warranted
lo
him.
A
second
cold
storage
plant
had
been
needed
here
for
years
and,
now
one
was
offering,
he
felt
there
should
be
no
delay
In
approving
of
it.
Mr.
Alva
zoff
had
showed
his
ability
In
the
past
to
complete
undertakings
he
embarked
upon.
The
motion
was
seconded
by
Mr.
