U.S. Proposes Ten-Year Halt on Capital Ship Building
Secretary Hughes proposes a sweeping naval arms limit plan at the arms conference. The program calls for a ten year halt on capital ship construction, scrapping older vessels, basing limits on tonnage rather than vessel count, and matching reductions among the United States, Great Britain, and Japan. Immediate totals after agreement would reduce U S ships to 18, Britain to 22, and Japan to 10 with corresponding tonnages. The plan would also scrap 30 capital ships under the phased reduction.
