BRITISH ARE DISTURBED
Italy Declares that if France
Carries Out Her Program for
Ten Capital Ships That She
Must Build a Navy Some
what in proportion and this
Will Give These Two Cosn-
tries Navies Out Matching
the English and American
Navies.

Washington, Dec 16.---The French
delegation has presented a proposal
for q great increase in strength
u the French navy Which the Brit
tsh declare would upset the whole
plan of the $50 naval reduction
agreement.
Although not yet entirely revealed
the British understand the French
paau provides for 10 SUPER dread
noughts subsequent to 1895. These
vessels would give France a capital
bhip tnonage $4,000 as against 315.-
zoe TO. Japan and a preponderance
OF the "Port-Jutland" type over all
nations.
Italy although indicating disappro-
val of such a building program is
said to have told the conference that
if France constructed such ships she
must carry out a similar program.
Tho combined French and Italian
fleets would thus be some 100000
stronger than the British and Amer
lean fleets as agreed upon at the
conference.
The question Of French and 1tal-
ian naval ratios as compared with
the 5-5-3 standard assigned the
United States, England and Japan
was taken up by the subcommittee OF
Is meeting today.
No Official word has come from the
Vuh
France has asked, but if it is $780,
600 tons it would represent about a
43 per cent increase in terms Of mod
ern dreadnought or super dread
nought tonnage. She has afloat today
approximately 10000 tons while It
ally has about $4,000 tons. Both
navies include a comparatively small
tonnage in pre-dreadnought battle
ships. Should it be determined tina
the 5-5-3 ratio is to govern the
French and Italian ratios there
would be no substantial increase il
the present capital ship tonnage o
the two European powers.
France now stands on a basis of les
than 40 per cent of the relativ'
strength represented if the 55-;
proposals should be taken as 100 pc
cent. N5IN
The British spokesman said toda.
the French proposal if acceded t
would throw out the whole nava
program. He declared it had me
with distinct disapproval from tn
British. The spokesman further de
elared Italy did not approve of tn
French proposals as it would neces
