TREATY

New Naval Accord Mooted

London, Feb. 25. A new Anglo-German naval treaty is being mooted at the Lon- don Naval Conference as a means

circumventing the present dead- lock over the introduction of Euro- pean political issues into the navi protocol, a situation which may re-

In order to meet the French ab- jections to inviting Germany to sign the naval treaty, it is sug- gested that Great Britain and Ger- many negotiate a bl-lateral agree

along qualitative lines" to ment supplement the exlating treaty be- tween them, which is bulit on quantitative nee.

This matter is reported to have been discussed extensively between Mr. Robert L. Craigie, Counsellor of the Foreign Office, and the Ger- man Naval Attache in London to-
