Landon, Dec. 28.
A gumber of influential man in Britain, including Mr. Walter Long, Lord Nartbelide, Lard Rothermore, Lord Burnham, Lord Robert Coeil, Lord Crewe, General Sir Frederick Maurice, General Hubert Gough, Sir Donald ManLan and Mr. George Barnsa kave signified their support of the proposal of the "New York World" for an agree- ment between Britain, Japan and the United States for a reduction of naval armaments.
Mr. Walter Long says the British Government showed the sin- {cerity of their, desire for reduction by submitting no naval building

Lord Northelite welcomes the proposal for a naval holiday and sags that every million is needed for works of real progress,
Lord Robert Cecil says that extensive disarmament is vital to the economic life of the world and the realisation of the hope of peace. Į The countries least exposed to attack should set an example, but no permanent improvement esn be expected without, firstly, general agreement, and, secondly, world machinery sufficient to ensure obser- vance of the agreement.
Mr. Walter Long, writing to the "New York World," points out that the Government has not even submitted estimates for finishing the is about to visit the Malay States.ships under construction.

CHRISTMAS AT HOME.
London, Dec. 28.
After three newspaperless days a public hangering for news found little to satisfy its appetite to-day. Christmas was noteworthy for the mildness of the weather. It was also characterised by absence of sensational happenings, if Ireland be excepted, and the incidents recorded there are merely what daily happenings for months past have taught the public to expect as an Irishman's Christmas. There were no accidents on the railways, which was probably due to absence of frost and snowstorms. The quietness of the holiday-makers was reflected in the London Police Courts, prompting Magistrates to com- ment on the sobriety of the population and the freedom of serious Report states that the Buddhist crime.

THE YAP CABLES,.
FRENCH SOCIALISTS DIVIDED.
Tours, Dec. 23.
A split among the French Socialista is threatened as the result of the Socialist Congress here deciding by a narrow majority to give priority of discussion to the question of adhesion to the Third Inter- national. The debates were heated, the moderates warning of the danger of adhesion to Moscow as equivalent to delivering the Social Theists into the hands of the bourgeois governments, pointing out that the Communist minorities had succeeded in splitting the Socialists in every country except Britain and Austria: A joint telegram from Lenir. Trotzky and Zizoviej was read, insisting on complete accept- ance of Moscow's twenty-one conditions before adhesion can be ac cepted. Eventually the moderates decided to secede from the Con-
The latest version of the Yap cables dispute is that the Amet: cap Government insists on having control of one of the three sub- marine cables there. Japanese Government refuses to entertain the American proposal though it is willing to make con- cessions to the extent of putting the cable desired by that Govern- ment under the joint control off the two Governments.
