London, Nov. 14—(AP)- The Bri
tish Admiralty today announced re
vision of its 1933 naval program to
include two new type 9,000-ton cruis
ers, with increased armament and one
cruiser of the 5,200-ton Arefhusa class
Sir Bolton Meredith Ayres Monsell,
first lord of the admiralty, made a
statement of this decision at she ad
miralty in the House of Commons.
He said the decision was made aft
er reviewing the latest cruiser pro
grams of countries, and “fol
lowing the most anxious consideration
and with much regi-et.”
Ayres Monsell emphasized that the
United States and Japan, under the
terms of the London naval treaty,
were entitled to build the ships which
those two countries contemplated, but,
that, nevertheless, it would be the po
licy of tho British government, by
reement, (o restrict the vessels of lar

He also said it would be the British
policy to reduce the maximum size
cruisers to be constructed in the fu
ture by agreement.
He stated that revision of the 1933
program of naval construction would
not increase its cost but on the con
trary, would result in a small e 'ue
