Washington, Sept. 27.--Scrapping ot nfeval armaments has beep patted and indefinitely postponed, a high naVftl official announced here. This government fears that Qrait Britain may find It necessary to withdraw from the agreements altogether, be added. Not until the world gets on a rail peace footing, It was stated, 1s there a likelihood that the powers will consent to weaken their naval strength in any way. The factors responsible for this situation are stated as the Near East war, the instability of Europe in general and the fact that neither France nor Italy has ratified the agreements reached here. In keeping with the other powers it was revealed for the first time that the United States is holding onto her effective naval vessels. The few ships that are being scrapped, It was declared, are those that are obsolete a3b4 were marked for the scrap heap before the arms conference met. While the other powers are fully armed, it was given as the administration policy that the United States will not in any way weaken her. defenses. It was r.dded that as a leader in seeking reduction 6f armament this government regretted the new developments, but could not lead to the extent of scrapping ships before all of the powers actually started scrapping. Even then, It was pointed out, the navy will keep fully posted and tot scrap any faster than the others." In connection with the attitude-, of Great Britain, officials pointed out that Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador, made verbal reservations at the conference to provide for a delay in making the agreements operative. The P-lton pointed out that while his country welcomed the opportunity to get rid of expensive armaments that the first consideration must be self-defense. He intimated that the time when Great Britain would actually begin to cut down could be accurately marked by the time that the world becomes safe. Sir Auckland called at the White House and conferred with President Harding. He said that It was a friendly visit to pay his respects.
