Navy expert says London pact favors Britain and Japan
Commander Harold C. Train told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Britain and Japan got what they wanted in the London naval treaty while the United States sacrificed its key capital ship program. He said the final plan set an 18 eight inch cruiser limit and kept a 5-3 ratio with Japan shifting from the initial 5-3 proposal, and he warned the replacement clause would not permit true parity. Captain Adolphus Andrews supported Train, noting the eight inch gun preference and that the treaty would disadvantage the United States against Japan.
