The fate of the continued participation of the Japanese in the Naval Conference is still open, the question depending upon whether the! chairman can pilot the committee at to-day's j meeting past the rocks of the Japanese demand for parity, as a vote on that question will inevit- ably terminate the Japanese participation forth- with

The Japanese leave no doubt that the parity issue must be faced sooner or later, and the preparations for it have been in- dicated in Japanese naval circles in London and Tokyo.

In London it is stated that in the event of withdrawal the Japanese will propose a five-Power declaration disavowing the in- tention to conduct a shipbuilding race and affirming that the friendly relations are not disturbed. From Tokyo comes the sig nificant news that if the adjournment of the conference leads to ian armaments race Japan will "endezvour to readjust her inter- Inational relations."

Paris, To-day.

The reports of the new efforts being made" for the peaceful solution of the Abyssinian con- fict received a new impetus yesterday, when it was announced that M. Laval bad had another long talk yesterday afternoon with the Italian Ambassador, Signor Cerruti, who has just return- ed from a short holiday in Italy.

Political circles are inclined to attribute all the more im- portance to this interview since Signor Cerruti before his depar ture from Rome conferred with Signor Mussolini and Signor Suvich, and since the feeling is beginning to take root that the Italian Government is ready to assume a more conciliatory atti tude.

Brussels: The rumours that Belgium has taken steps for initiating a new peace move to end the Abyssinian war were cate Igorically denied here yesterday as wholly devoid of foundation. It is stressed that the Belgian Government does not intend to take any steps in this direction, especially since Belgium is not a member of the League Council nor of the Committee of Thirteen, which would have to deal with any proposals for conciliation

It is moreover stated that the King of the Belgians did not conduct any political negotiations whatsoever during his recent.. visit to England Trans-Ocean Service.
