London, June 26. Charging that the "Government had jumped from one policy to another four times in the past few months, Baron Lloyd of Dolobran, speaking in the House of Lords to-day, initiated the debate on the naval and military situation as affected by the Anglo-German agreement.
He expressed uneasiness at the disturbing atmosphere created in France and Italy by the action of the Government in unilaterally giving to Germany the right to ignore the terms governing her naval strength, contained in the Versailles Treaty.
Germany, he said, was allowed a thirty-five per cent, ratio with the British naval strength, whereas, under the Washington Treaty, France's and Italy's ratios were limited to thirty-two per cent.'
