France Wili Cut Her Naval
Tonnage For Security Pact
To Protect Mediterranean
Aristide Briand Tells Ar
thur Henderson of Brit
ain That France Will |
Cut ‘Tonnage for Secu
rity Pact. |
LONDON. — (AP) — Aristide
Briand, French Foreign Minister,
was reported unofficially Thurs.
day to have told Arthunr Hender
son, British Foreign Minister, that
France avould be able to cut “her
naval tonnage program. if the five
power mnaval conference wounld
produce a pact of mutual guaran
tees for the Mediterranean.
M. Briand indicated that he
thought such a pact should be on
the lines of the League of Na
tions’ model treaties for mutual
guaranty, which, to, his' mind,
wou'd not mean that Great Britain
would undertake obligations other
than those which she already has
accepted under Article 15 of the
covenant of the League of Na-,
tions.
The Exchange Telegraph Com
pany, in a Tokio dispatc¢h, said
that the Japanese cabinet was
facing its severest test of states
manshkip on the question of what
was to be sent back to London in
reply to the American proposa’s.
The American offer was said tc
be opposed by most powerful in.
terests capable of wrecking the
cabinet. Admiral Kato, head of
the naval staff, was said to have
threatened to resign unless the
original Japanese propogfals were
upheld. .
SEES OPPOSITION
WASHINGTON,— (AP) —Sen
ator George of Georgia, a demo
cratic member of the senate for
eign relations committee, express
ed the opinion Thursday that a
consu'tative pact now mentioned
fn connection with the London
naval conference would meet
stubborn opposition in the senate.
Such a pact, the senator said,
would not be well received by
either republicans or democrats in
the senate. Also, he added, he
thought there was a definite feel
ing in the senate at this time that
even a consultative pact might be
construed as involving military
‘intercession and that it might be
| misinterpreted.
| He added he thought such a
‘pact not only would meet with
‘stubborn opposition in the senate
- but wou'd be regarded by sena
tors generally “as an unwarranted
step.” :

“There are two defiinite periods

“There are many reasons why

reasonable prices now, than at any

cheaper prices and no delays, will
mean many hundreds of dollars
