The communique states, "The heads and other members of the delegations of the United States, France and the United Kingdom Had a conversation at St. James's Certain Palace this morning.. technical questions were found to require further exploration and the French Minister of Marine and the First Lord of the Admiralty, ac- companied by their technical ad-

visers with the American observers, were asked to consider these matters at once and to report on them as soon as possible.

In order to give time for the con- tinuous prosécution of this inquiry, after obtaining the assant of the Italian and Japanese delegations, the meeting of the heads of delega- tions fixed for this afternoon was A postponed until to-morrow. further meeting of the delegations will take place on Wednesday earlier, if the technical report ask. ed for is ready."-British Wireless Service,

London, Yesterday. The Times says it is suggested in French quarters that if a Medi-' terranean agreement be proved to be impossible, M. Brland might' be willing to postpone mention of n security pact, and that this would not prevent the conclusion of a useful agreement on a num- ber of technical matters between the Powers, with a larger agree- ment between Great Britain, the United States and Japan-British Wireless Service.

Further Exploration

The British, French and Ameri- can delegations met at St. James's Palace this morning. A communi- que states that certain technical questions were found to require further exploration, and the French Minister of Marine and British First Lord of the Admiralty accompanied by the technical ad visers, with the American obser vers, were asked to consider and! report thereon as early as possible.

The meeting of the heads of the |delegations fixed for this afternoon has beenpostponed until Tuesday.

It is understood that to-day's discussions. concerned the Franco-) British naval agures, indicating that the conference will now dis cuss the Franco-British position as the phase of British-American-Ja- paneso discussions has momentarily passed. No decision can be reach- ed till the question of a five Power treaty is settled.
