Publicity Given to
Big Navy Demands
Resented by French
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES,
International News Service.


The five big powers Of the Washing
ton conference failed to settle the
question of French naval ratio at q
lengthy secret session in the Pan-Amer-
lean building yesterday, and the mat
ter was allowed to go over for another
meeting tomorrow.
There were indications when the
meeting adjourned that the session
had been tense one. M. Sarrault,
head of the French delegation. is
understood to have voiced a formal
Protest over the manner in which
news of Frances demand for ten new
battleships was made public Friday,
end there ensued what was described
rs general discussion"
M. Sarrault presented the case OF
France in yesterdays conference and
refused to recede from the stand
taken Friday that France must be
permitted to have navy as great as
that of Japan, according to a state
ment by British spokesman.
France Stands by Demands.
France, it was said. indicated that
while she might not desire to build
her program at once she still desired
to have the privilege of building such
q program. M Sarrault based the
claim for a large navy for France
on the grounds that 1t was necessary
for the protection Of her colonial pos
sessions. 1t was said.
Great Britain and y the United
States opposed the proposals on the
ground that limitation of navies
should be on existing strength and
not upon the theory of future needs.
None of those participating in yes
terday's meeting would say in de-
tail, just what took place behind the
big bronze doors. All said their lips
had been sealed.
Charge Breach Of Faith.
1t was understood. however, that
Frances spokesman had voice4 in no
uncertain terms their displeasufe over
the developments of the preceding
twenty-four hours, and they are said
to have intimated that unless the
spokesman of the other powers keep
the faith" as regards the secrecy OF
committee happenings France will find
It necessary to take steps to protect
herself in the matter of making public
her own policies.
Little or no Roadway was made. 1t Is
understood, in the matter of adjusting
Frances claims for vastly increased
tonnage. This matter was put over
until Monday. when the powers will
meet again in somewhat clearer
atmosphere.

Laws Need Many Changes.

Annapolis
So many matters are being urged
which will involve amendments to the
State Constitution that the question is
coming to the fore as to whether tho
most workmanlike way to tackle the
whole business will not be by Con-
stitutional convention which will re-
shape the fundamental law of the
State.
One of the most pressing questions
Of the day is greater representation

Such increased representation would
require a Constitutional amendment.
The question Of having the State
Comptroller elected once every four
years instead of every two is again
under discussion.
Changing the elections with regard
to the Comptroller would require a
Constitutional amendment. Any change
in the present manner of electing the
State Treasurer by joint ballot Of both
branches of the Legislature would re
quire a Constitutional amendment.
II, as DIR. Goodnow suggests, the
Attorney General is to be appointed
by the Governor, rather than elected,
this would mean another amendment
to the Constitution.

Constitution of 1857 plus such amend.

would make such a gathering some

is advanced that such step will be
the most adequate way of bringing
