PAGE 81x SRITISH NAVAL POLICY ISSUED BY GOVERNMENT Policy is to Keep Ocean Highways Open for Trade and Communication London, March 10.--~The govern- ment have made public the following memorandum on the position at the London Naval Conference of His Majesty's Gevernment in the United Kingdom, in the form of a White Paper :(-- | 1. The 'policy of His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom is to keep the highway of the seas open for trade and communication, and, in relation to the political state \ of the world, to take what steps are necessary to secure this. 2. The Government is directing its policy to secure this co-operating with the League of Nations, making friendly compacts with other nations, strengthening the International ( 'ourt, accepting arbitration in international disputes, honoring the Peace Pact of the country has undertaken in conse- quence of the terms of the Covenant of the League of Nations (partly off- { set, though they are, by the pooled i security afforded under the Covenant by its provision of mutual support), and other commitments which it has inherited and which it has to fulfil in relation to the present condition of the world, In deciding what these amount to in terms of naval strength, the Government must estimate the chances of war breaking out because, if this is not done, fleets will be built which will never be of any use, but which will threaten rather than pro- tect and it hest wil be a waste of national resources. 5. The Government takes the view that if the strengths of national fleets are not to be a menace, they must be the subject of international agreements, the purpose of which would be to maintain an equilibrium, This equilibrium will not be secured by mere numerical equality in ships and tonnage--which may indeed be a condition of serious inequality from the point of view of' effectiveness-- but by agreed programmes which will be based on considerations of re- quirements affecting dispersion, etc, and in which menace will be reduced as much as possible. For this, there can be no general formula or ratio. It must be the subject of agreements made from time to time at Confer- ences such as this. As the political conditions deter- 9 world security are not fixed to Le arranged, an agreed evaluating factor being cb 10 ag for such trans- fer. The object of this arrangement is to take account of the special needs of countries requiring a larger portion of cruisers of A. 1 type. (3) As "regards small cruisers and destroyers, it is probable that some nations with smaller navies may find a rigid division into these categories unworkable. His Majesty's Govern: ment in the United Kingdom will be prepared to consider a transfer of tonnage between tifese categories to take account of the special needs of the Powers in question. ") Turning to the question of He size and number of capital ships, Hi Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom proposes that the limit of numbers oa by the Washington Treaty should be reached within 18 months of the ratification of the Realy arrived at by the London 'aval Conference instead of in 1936; that no replacement of existing ships should take place before the next 57% Conference in 1935, and that in the meantime the whole question of capi- tal ships, their number, size and gun calibre, should be the subject of ne- gotiation between the Powers which The photograph England. interesting view wonder car, the here gives am in of Kaye Don' "Silver Bullet land speed record at Don, English speed driver, will attempt to beat world's Daytona some 4,000 horse power.

In 1927 it took an average of /.8 rhinutes to complete connection, In 1929 lic average was 3.5 minutes per call and many cz!ls, of course, are put through on the instant, And with this greater speed therc have heen two reductions in long distance rates within the last year.
