BALANCE OF POWER IN DANGER OF TOPPLING

Paris, June 17.

It is believed here that the French Government has sent a chilly reply to Great Britain's naval note. It is understood the Government neither refuses to adhere to an agreement in preparation in London nor assents to the understanding on which it is based.

It is believed the note points out that an increase in the German fleet to 35 per cent. of the British tonnage would create a grave.problem for Germany's Continen- tal neighbours. Also it would upset the equilibrium. established by the Washington Treaty, France adds.

* In this event France could not submit to the limita- tions of the Washington Treaty and would have to resume liberty of action with regard to warship con- struction.

It is also believed that the note

COMMON POLICY IN CHINA?

JAPANESE BRAND SUNG'S TROOPS OUTLAWS

Washington, June 17. The desire to secure an identical Anglo-American attitude towards events in North China was suggested at meetings of Sir Ronald Lindsay, British Ambassador, and Mr. William Phillips, the Under- Secretary of State.

Following their conversations both Sir Ronald and Mr. Phillips were very reticent. But the British Ambassador admitted that two phases of the Sino- Japanese situation had been discussed.

The State Department, later, asserted that the dis- cussions were chiefly factual and had not resulted in any changing of polley nor any definite diplomatic

moves.
