Head of French Parliament Group
Writes of Conference.
Says Time Is Opportune for Making
Agreement with England-Ob-
jects of New Policy

Paris, Aug. 6-Baron Estournelles
de Constant, who headed the French
parliamentary arbitration group on it's
recent visit to London, has written an
important letter to Foreign Minister
Delcasse, setting forth the results of
the recent exchanges of views in Lon
don and Paris between members of
the British and French parliaments
and the leading ministers of the two
governments.
The new policy has three essential
objects: First, the conclusion of a
reasonable arbitration treaty, similar
to that negotiated between Great Brit
ain and the United States, and in ac-
cordance with clause 10 of The Hague
international arbitration convention;
second, reduction in the overwhelm-
ing naval expenses, in agreement with
France and Russia, concerning which
the baron claims to have received cate
gorical verbal and written assurances;
third, a friendly settlement of out
standing differences which for 20
years have exhausted the resources of

A failure on the part of the federation
to bring them together has been very
rare indeed. We have been instrumental
