FRANCE AND ITALY MAKE DEMANDS

DAVIS FEARS EUROPEAN ENTANGLEMENTS

London, Feb. 21.

French and Italian desideratu, now advanced, threaten further complication and protraction in the winding up of the Naval Conference.

1

As the outcome of a series of bllateral meetings between Mr. Anthony Eden, Foreign Secretary, Mr. Norman Davis, chief American delegate, M. Corbin. French Ambassador, and Signor Grandi, Italian Ambassador, It is understood that dif ficulties have arisen over the text of the protocol which is to accompany the technical Naval Trenty.

France desires affirmation that air, land and sea arma- ments should be inter-dependent, and the restoration of the ruptured Stresa alliance.

Signor Grandi is reported to have indicated that Italy is not at present raising the question of sanctions or the with- drawal of the British Fleet from the Mediterranean, but asks that the protocol be so worded as to enable such political ques- tions to be pursued when the Naval Treaty is initialled.

in vow of the altuation, Mr. Nor- man Davis has declined to sign any document involving American cun. noction with European politics.- Reuter.
