EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

AMERICAN NAVAL WEAKNESS.

London, March 23.

The Morning Post Washington correspondent, dealing with the naval manoeuvres in Magdana Bay, in which the greatest concentra- tion of naval power ever asembled in the Pacific participated, states that the Board reviewing operations found the Pacific Fleet powerless to protect the Pacific Const without the permanent con centration of the Atlantic Flest there. It asserts that the Atlantic Flect does not possess suflicient scout cruisers, while air-craft and air- craft carriers are deemed impracticable in the rough seas during war. Modera speed has nullified the strategical value of the Panama Canal. The Pacific Fleet is insufficiently strong to defend American possessions in the Pacific, and the Atlantic Flect is unable to reach the Facilie in time to resist attack from an enemy air force.-Reuter.

THE EUROPEAN CONCERT.

London, March 23.

The Daily Chronicle's Paris correspondent telegraphs that Signor Mussolini was recently dramatically interviewed upun the security

imbroglio. He said he offered Britain a treaty of alliance to the exclusion of France, but Mr. Chamberlain communicated the offer to France.--Reuter.

EGYPTIAN PARLIAMENT,

Cairo, March 23. Following the opening of Parliament by King Fund, Zaghloul Pasha was elected President of the Chamber by a vote of 125 to 85.
