New York, To-day.

The anxiety regarding the Japanese attitude at the Naval Conference is expressed by the "Herald Tribune," which says: "Japan's trucu- lence in insisting rigidly and stubbornly that the principle of parity be accepted at the opening of] the conference is not so disturbing as the success of Japan in putting the naval cart before the po- litical horse.

The Japanese have consistently overlooked or obscured the fact that the Washington Conference of 1921 covered not only the limitation of naval armaments but also the settlement of political disputes affecting the Pacific Asiatic mainland.

Paris, To-day."

The chief theme of discussion in Sunday's papers was the negotiations for the termination of the Italo-Abyssinian conflict and the contents of the English White Paper. The "Matin" counts on increasing opposition to the Laval-Hoare pro- posals in the League of Nations and in the French and British Parliaments.

The semi-oficial Petit Parisien finds no evidence to support the view that the British Government, because of the public.pro-j test, has changed its intentions-to-continue its efforts at media- tion. If the League of Nations changes the proposals the British Government will doubtless consent, in which case Mr. Baldwin would certainly find a House of Commons majority.

The Left-wing press rejects the Laval Hoare plan utterly The Radical Socialist Ossere, in a long leading article headed "France's friendship in peril," passes a scathing criticism on 3 Laval's foreign policy and declares that at the discussion organ- ised by the French League of Nations Union, attended by Lord Cecil, Senator Rollin (Belgium), MM. Pierre Cot, Paul-Boncour

and other prominent people, the view was expressed that this solution of the conflict would provide the world with a classic ex- ample for the inspiration of future aggressors and would conse- quently permanently menace world peace Trans-Ocean Service.
