Anglo-German Naval Agreement, the British Government is now diplomatically making contact with the German and French Governments, mainly with regard to the procedure to be followed concerning exchange of views on the naval programmes of the three Governments.

Every kind of technical question is involved, such as the actual size and type of ships which Germany intends to lay down next year, and especially the rate of construction by which Germany proposes to reach the agreed maximum ratio.

Britain's intention has always been that when information had been obtained from the Germans, there would then be a pooling of information on the German French and British programmes.--
