LONDON,
Feb.

Contending
that
Britain
has
led
the
way
in
reduction
of
armaments
and
her
ex-aniple
has
not
been
completely
followed
by
other
powers,
the
Navy
League
of
Great
Britain
has
issued
a
pamphlet
over
the'signature
of
Lloyd
George,
president,
pointing
out
the
concrete
reductions
in
British
naval
strength
that
have,
been
effected.
Including
the
naval
forces
of
the
dominions
it
is
shown
that
the
number
of
fighting
vessels
has
been
reduced
from
1,900
at
the
Armistice
to
42G
as
of
Qc?
tober,
1930.
Tonnage
in
this
period
was
reduced
from
3,191,893
to
1,491,120.
The
number
of
cruisers
was
cut
from
128
to
51.
In
1930
the
personnel
of
the
British
Navy
was
reduced
to
97,050,
compared
with
1M;600
for
the
United
States
and
80,000
for
Japtn,
it
is
shown.
The
naval
estimates
for
1930-31
amounted
to
$280,000,000
compared
with
$382,424,601
for

and
