"Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" writes: "In contradistinction to this German attitude is the fact that the other naval powers have not yet succeeded. in arriving at an agreement as to the Washington agreement and the London supplementary agreement. The Washington agreement had fixed the relative strengths of Britain, the United States and Japan at a ratio of 5: 5: 3, Japa however, did not renew this restriction and up to now has not asserted to any limitations regarding intlividual sizes of ships or calibre of guns. It was therefore not possible until 1936 to arrive at an agreement between Britain, France and the United States which put an end to all quantitative limitations but established qualitative limits in ship types and gun calibres, This agreement can now come into force since parallel agreements between Britain and Germany and Britain and Soviet Russia have been signed."
As for the exchange of information about building plans provided for in the agreement, "Berliner Lokalanzeiger" states ihat this is the beginning of a positive naval policy and points out that through this the sudden appearance of quite new warship types will be prevented This in turn will put an end to a renewal of competitive building in new types. Clear working conditions have therefore been established through the signing of the Anglo-German supplementary agreement.—Trans-Ocean Kuo Min,
