! Ixmdon, ' Dm. - to Otartlnf- that
Great Britain is the only nation that
ha made a real attempt to carry out
the previsions of Clio Washinrton naval
disarmament treaty. Admiral Sir
Reginald Harel. M. P former director
cf British naval intelligence, today de
clared it would bo perfectly proper for
that nation to sug-rest jcaulns; off the
agreement aiiog-evner: . T.
'irs now more than 12 months .since
the - Washington agreement was con
cluded, but what has happened T he
asked In discussing the treaty. "We
are the only people who have made a
real attempt to carry out the terms of
the agreement. It would be perfectly
proper if Great Britain said to the other
countries : A -reasonable time for rat
ification of the treaties now has
elapsed. If there is no disposition to
ratify them then the best policy is to
call off the agreement and generally
reconsider our positions.
-The naval appropriations bill, iug
gesting a small ships agreement, of
fers an equally small chance of suc
cess. What the world really wants Is
to forget theoretical naval questions
and concentrate upon an international
(Conference regarding , aerial warfare.
If an agreement on this question is
realised then It would be possible to
. minimise the terrlbl eborrora which the
- first aerial war will bring upon tne
civil populations. .Wo should also set
tle the submarine difficulty. Those
populations which are unable to exer
else the right to search, bomb and tor
pedo ships on sight are likely to sup
plant the submarines now performing
1
functions exercised by submarines with
-'added barbarism.
r "Kvery European air force now
boasts of the desolation which it would
be able to bring upon enemy countries.
There is no longer any distinction be
tween armies and civilian population.
What is really necessary' to. the world
is to ' regulate the methods of aerial
warfare immediately and not worry
over naval technicalities.'
