SMALLER NATIONS MAY WNAVIES Conference to Consider Adaptability of Five-Power Washington Treaty. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. The Washington conference on lim itation of naval armament is about to bear fruit among; the smaller sea powers of the world. At Geneva, on January 21, 1924, eleven of them will join in a conference of naval experts to consider the application of the principles of the five-power treaty to their naval establishments. The na tions concerned are Brazil, Spain. Sweden, Argentina, Chile, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Jtussia and Turkey. None of these •tales is a party to the Washington treaty, which is signed only by the United States, Great Britain, France, Italy' and Japan. t The forthcoming conference of “second-class” naval powers will be held under the aus pices of the league of nations ad visory commission on military, naval and air questions. Two of the con ferring states—Russia and Turkey— are not members of the league. The conference, in which Great Britain, France. Italy and Japan will join, will attempt to prepare a draft con vention for a later international con ference of all powers, whether they possess navies or not. Will I,Unit Construction. The Geneva meeting will concern [ itself mainly with a project, like the | basic principle of the Washington | treaty, to limit the construction of capital ships, vis., these having a i displacement of more than 10,000 I tons or carrying guns of more than j eight inches in caliber. The United 1 States will have a special interest ! in the manner in which the “A B C” I powers of South America—Argentina. Brazil and Chile—approach the I Geneva conference. Following the < Washington conference there were I sporadic suggestions that the chief I I>atin American naval powers would conclude a naval limitation treaty among themselves. Then it was hoped the Santiago Pan-American conference would bring about some such scheme. Nothing ever material- j ized. Brazil and Argentina are bitter ( naval and military rivals. The Ar gentinians look particularly askance at the United States naval mission which is now reorganizing tlie Bra zilian fleet. The latter’s battleship Minas Gera.es has been refitted at the Brooklyn navy yard and supplied •with anti-aircraft guns. The Sao Paulo, battleship, also is being re- j fitted at Brooklyn. Kach of the Bra- t zillan dread naughts is of 19,000 tons I displacement and carries twelve j twelve-inch guns. Argentina has I two dreadnaught battleships, each of! 27,000 tons and carrying twelve j twelve-inch guns. Chile has a 28,- 000-ton battleship. formerly the I Canada of the British navy, mount- i ing ten fourteen-inch guns. Spain Most Modern, Spain has the most modern “second- ’ class” fleet in Europe, with three dread- i naught battleships of 15,700 tons dis- j placement, armed with eight 12-inch guns. She also has a 10.000-ton cruiser, ! which she managed to save from live I Spanlsh-American war.
