FRANCO-ITALIAN ISSUE
London, Mar. 16. Hopes are now entertained that the difficulties with which the London Naval Conference has been faced since the examination of the French tonnage figures began may be eased as a result of the week-end exchanges.
The French objections to the Italian insistence on parity stil! remain the immediate obstacle of progress, but efforts are still being made with the purpose of fixing at middle coursa between the French refusal to reduce tonnage figures in the absence of a Mediterranean Treaty, and in Italy's refusal to produce concrete figures of her requirements, beyond the general declaration of her demand for parity with the strongest European continental power.
Conversations to this end have been proceeding almost con tinuously since Thursday. when the Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, saw M. Briand first and later Signor Grandl.
The meeting of M. Briand and Signor Grandi yesterday was a long one, but apart from the brief Italian statement recording the meeting and M. Briand's comment dis- that the political stage of cussion was not yet over, no public indication was given of what took place.

- The Times suggests that the week-end conversation may, with- out prejudice to Italy's parity claim, be restricted to determining the programmes for the next five years. It states that the sugges tion has the approval of all the Powers except the Italian delega- tion.
Meanwhile, it is reported in the Press that there are substantial prospects of an American-Japanese agreement as a result of conversa- tions which have been proceeding between the members of these de- legations.
It is reported that the basis of the proposed agreement has been referred to Washington and Tokyo! and that confrmation of the friendly adjustment which it in volves is awaited with confidence. Monsieur Colbran, the chairman of the League of Nations Prepara- tion Disarmament Commission, has arrived in London to confer with a special representative of the League. M. Colbran will be at the next sitting of the Commission.- British Wireless,

Important Achievement at the Naval Conference.

news-
The leading vernacular papers have issued extras featur- ing London despatches reporting a preliminary agreement between the American and Japanese Naval delegates in London giving Japan "almost seventy per cent.” of the American auxiliary strength.
Official confirmation of this is lacking, but a more hopeful at- mosphere is now noticeable here Reuter.
Relative New Strengths,
London, Mar. 15. The Times reports that a satis- factory understanding has been reached by the Japanese and the United States delegations at the Naval Conference. ·
There is reason to believe that the Japanese tonnage in vessels) carrying eight inch guns will be limited to 108,400 tons as against. the United States figure of 180,000, but a
notably larger relative strength will be accorded to the Japanese in submarines and destroyers which will be between seventy-five and eighty per cent. of the requirements of the United States.
The American strength In cruisers carrying eight inch guns will be 18 vessels. Britain will have 15 (150,000 tons) and the Japanese 12. A week may elapse before a reply is received from Tokyo but assent to the proposal
