Naval Experts
Add Six Years
to Battleships
Action at Geneva Conference Settles
Issue Discussed at the Lon
don Conference.
Geneva. Six more years were yes
terday added to the lives of battle
ships, and hence the possibility of re
placing old ships with new ones was
averted for that period by a deci
sion of the Disarmament conier-
ence's naval committee.
Taking a step which was consider
ed but never settled at the Lionaon
Conference, the naval experts voted
that the battleship's age limit be
placed at 26 Instead of 20 years
where it was fixed by the Washing
ton treaty. Without this proviso na
tions would be allowed to build new
craft a full quarter of their time
sooner.
The United States has one ship,
the Arkansas, coming to 20 years in
1932. and two. the New York and
Texas, in 1934. The Japanese dread-
naught Kongo grows up in 1933, and
British ships in 1935. Six more years
are thereby added to the careers of
these craft it today's unanimous
recommendation of naval experts en
ters the treaty, as theer is no doubt
it will do. The practical effects of
this extension wm become more ap
parent after 1935, and the expira
tion of present treaties. It Is the aim
of those who wish battleships to dis
appear to add more and more years
to .ir age until they sink of desue
tude.
In the air committee disagreement
continues to reign over the exact def
inition of offensive aircraft. The Am
erican delegation today insisted that
ncnfiii loari and capacity of
reaching an objective are the chief
criteria, but opposed applying math
omiticil restrictions to the United
ctntov. vchfr th; lone distance to
traverse makes rules different from
decided to
Ar V . a.v
draft a preliminary report for the
trnnnmi fnm m ission while the sub
committees continue to wrestle with
vital aircraft questions.
FIRST DELEGATES ARRIVE

New York etill holding the spot
