Asked what increase or decrease for the next two fivs year periods of the naval estimates would result from fixing the number of cruisers at fifty he replied, "there are at present fifty four British cruisers built and four others in an advanced stage of construction." Tile effect on the British estimates of fixing the total at fifty cruisers depends on the airs of the cruisers laid down and the type of the cruisers built to re-

According to figures that Mr. Al- exander gave to another questioner, the saving in the British naval cs- tlmates for the next six years would aggregate more than $260,000,000 if replacements of battleships as pro- vided in article twenty of the Wash- ington Treaty were deferred until 1930. Assuming that the ships would be of the maximum displacement laid down by the treaty 95.000 tons, the estimated cost of building them which would be saved if none were laid down would be as follows: i931, 1,080,000 pounds; 1982. 6,065.00!) pounds; 1933. 10,050,000 pounds; 1994, 11,873,000 pounds: 1935. 12,089,000 pounds, and in 1938 10,310,000 pounds.
