At the Geneva conference opening delegates Mr. Gibson Mr. Bridgeman and Admiral Saito signaled hopeful work to merge proposals into a single plan. They acknowledge the task is difficult with greater-than-expected hurdles. The Japanese plan remains vague while Britain argues longer ship lifespans reduce new battleship tonnage for the U S and Britain and Japan.
The discussion centers on British proposals to cut battleship tonnage from 33 000 to 30 000 and guns from 16 inches to 13 1 2, shrink aircraft carriers by 2 000 tons, and cap future cruisers at 7 500 tons with six inch guns. The United States warns a six inch limit favors nations with large merchant fleets that could convert them to warships, and notes American long range submarines complicate the plan. The next public session date is undecided as the executive committee prepares technical panels to study the three schemes.
In Geneva on June 20 the American delegation issued a statement detailing a plan to scrap about 60,000 tons of auxiliary and combatant ships now and a further 80,000 tons after current construction, with Britain facing similar cuts and Japan at roughly 40,000 tons.
A dated proposal argues that adopting its plan, using 90,000 tons for the United States and the British Empire and 54,000 tons for Japan, would avoid scrapping submarines until current construction finishes. It notes most slated scrappings are already obsolete or will be soon.
Washington officials expressed cautious optimism that the American proposal on naval limitations could mesh with British and Japanese policies. British and Japanese reactions appeared non hostile, and a full agreement on details seemed possible despite Bridgeman’s suggestion to revisit the 1921 Washington treaty limits. France and Italy did not participate, blocking any binding revision without them.
