Britain fails to reopen Washington treaty at Geneva
Geneva June 25 AP Great Britain has failed to win U S support for reopening and rediscussion of the Washington naval treaty at the Geneva tri partite conference. Lord Cecil urged reductions in battleships aircraft carriers and cruisers and economy. Ambassador Gibson said focus remains on extending Washington principles to auxiliary war craft and that 1931 is the time to discuss such questions. The British argued that ship size reductions would save money and help outlaw war, insisting reopening was justified by Britain’s acceptance of Coolidge invitation to go further with Washington ratios and other important ways.
