U.S. FAVOUR

Would "Freeze" Pacific Fortifications

NOW

BRITISH FORMULA MORE FULLY APPRECIATED

Washington, Oct. 12.

Well-informed quarters believe that the British proposal to "freeze" Pacific fortifica- tions, or, in other words, preserve the status quo in defence works in the Far East. may become the unexpected vehicle for a broad limitation understanding between Britain, the United States and Japan,

Although unofficial initial reaction here was hostile to the British suggestion, due to the conviction that the plan required the United States to abandon her cheapest and surest methods of combatting a possible expansion of the Japanese fleet, it is now indicated that Washington may consider the scheme favour- ably. Favourable consideration, however, would depend upon definite assurance that Japan and Britain will not undertake fleet expansion simultaneously.

Experts hold the opinion that a tacit agreement on fleet strength might be arranged if Japan would reveal her construction plans for three, five and ten year periods in the future.

It la suggested that on this basla the powers might be able to enter into a gentlemen's agreement on ficel strengths and fortifications by which mention of ratios and other aspects politically obnoxious to Japan might

be avoided.

Any such new arrangement might still retain the many mutually bene- Acinl aspects of the London and Wethington treaties, it felt.- United Press.

DESPERATE DEFENCE

Rebels Meet Fierce Resistance

LEFTISTS LOOKING TO RUSSIA FOR AID

London, Oct. 12.

Fierce fighting, in heavy rain, raged to-day 40 miles west of Madrid, where the Government forces are striving desperately to prevent the insurgents from exploiting the recent capture of Cevreros and San Martin.

The Madrid Government claims it has not yielded an inch of ground in this important sector, while the insurgents state that the Government militia counter-attacked at San Martin during the morning but were repulsed with a loss of 500 killed and wounded,

The Government reports its troops attacking the insurgent positions near Toledo, forcing the rebels to retire.--Reuter.
