The Note adds that it would be advantageous if ап agreement could be reached before the com-

mencement of the capital ship placement programme provided by the Washington Treaty.

Paving The Way. Lord Cushendun's new battle- ship proposals are regarded by London commentators as the most important and most promising phase of the disarmament parleys. The proposals resemble those submitted at the Naval Conference at Geneva where they did not en- counter real opposition: They are now extended to France and Italy.
