London, 17 January. The naval specialist of the newspaper the Daily Telegraph compared the American and British points of view dealing with the global decrease of the strengths of the naval major powers. In his opinion the differences were as slight as common was believed. The British government intended to obey the proposals done at Genève in 1927 according to which a flotilla leader was maximum 1,750 tons and a usual destroyer maximum 1,400 tons, the ocean going submarines maximum 1,600 tons and the coastal defence submarines maximum 600 tons while the armament of submarines and destroyers might not exceed the 12,7cm calibre.
