London, Mar. 25. Lord Cushendun's now battle ship proposals are regarded by London commentators as a most important and-promising phase of the disarmament parleys..
The proposals resemble those
submitted to the Naval Conference at Geneva, where they did not encounter real opposition. They are now extended to France and Italy, and it is predicted that an agreement can easily be reached as regards battleships, which in- cidentally will pave the way to resumption of the Three Power discussions on cruisers.-Reuter.
Percentage Reduction. Genova, Mar. 24, 12.45 p.m. Notwithstanding the Chairman's ruling yesterday the Soviet delc- gation later issued a new partial and progressive disarmament scheme under which armies and naval armaments are reduced by graduated percentages based on their present strengths-Reuter.

1. Those having 200,000 mon with the colours should halve the number.
2. Those with 40,000 should reduce to a third.

8. Those with smaller numbers should reduce to a 'quarter.
4. The Disarmament Confer- ence should settle the strength of Statog disarmed as the result of the World War.
Naval tonnage above 200,000 should be halved, and, tonnage below that should be quartered.
The draft convention abolishes armoured care and long-range guns, and strictly limits other armaments. It abolishes military aircraft and chemical warfare materials within a year.
It lays down that the provisions of the scheme should be carried out under the supervision of an
