Washington, ID. G.. Nov. ~.
After to-day's meeting of the arms
committees the French Premier visited
the italian delegation and remained
nearly on hour in conversation with
the principal Italian delegate, Senator
Schanzer
1t is reported that the F'ranco-Ital-
ian interview practically settled dis
pute which arose between the French
and Italians over their respective
naval positions. France wanted not
only to retain her present naval
strength but even to add thereto,
while Italy would not hear of France
having so much more than she her
self possessed.
1t is said the French demand eight
capital ships with the additional right
to construct other small fast cruising
vessels while the Italians are willing
10 accept the basis of six capital ships.
There was a time when the Britisf
fleet in the Mediterranean was stron'
enough to defeat both the French an
the Italians combined. but under the
new American plan all this would be
changed. The old British ships would
be scrapped under the new arrangement
and England undoubtedly would want
to concentrate most OF her fighting
forces in the North Atlantic.
The two Latin sister. therefore, are
left together in the Mediterranean.
There was the danger Of a bitter quar-

italian Revsta Martina for some time
has shown considerable agitation against

France at present has seven capital
ships against Italy's five. In Italian
eyes even seven capital French ships
were too much. now a third party no
longer commanded the Mediterranean
Sea.
France on the other hand pleaded
that she has n divided coastline She
declared that larger fleet than ltaly's
was essential because she must divide
her ships between the Atlantic and the
Mediterranean.
One suggested basis Of settlement or
the dispute between France and Italy
was the following:
In order to leave a little room for

| figure for the French navy might be
fixed under the Hughes plan at $4,000
or 200. 900 tons and the Italian at 10000.
This approximately corresponded TO the
present capital ship comparison between
the two countries of seven and five. II
also approximately represented the
figures in tonnage which might be given
to France and Italy on the new basis OF
allowing Japan $4,000 tons and Eng
land and America 100000.

CUT IN OVERTIME PAY
FOR RAILROAD WORKERS

Chicago, Dec. 13.-(By The A P.)-
Slashing extra provisions for the first
two hours of overtime after the regular

ployes, the UEited States Railroad La

The principle of eight consecutive
hours shall ccnstitte a days work is

The new provisions make possible a

roads which were compelled under the

DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN

Some difficulties are believed to have

The Chinese delegates left the confer

detection, one of them saying: I'VE did

ECONOMIC PROPOSITIONS TO
BE MADE BY LLOYD GEORGE

Washington, Dec 13.-(By The A. P.)
Some of the foreign diplomats in at
tendance at the arms conference have re-
ceived word which they interpret as in
dicating that Lloyd George, the British
premier, is preparing to take the initia-
tive in world economic matters, having
become convinced from the results Of in
quiries made here that the American
government does not intend to call an
international economic meeting, at least
not in the near future.
The British prime minister's plan ac1
cording to the information in the hands
of these diplomats, contemplates the can
collation. Of all war debts owing to Great
Britain by Italy, France, Belgium, Rus
STA, and the smaller Balkan allies,
amounting with interest to upward of
two billions sterling.
Premier Lloyd George, it is recalled,
proposed 10 President Wilson that all
inter-allied debts including those owing
to the United States should be cancelled
but his present design, according to the
understanding does not include the re-
newal of that suggestion to the United
states. He is said to intend to annul
the debts Of other countries due Great
Britain, subject TO conditions, one it is
! understood. being that France should for
give luc utDlS OIL dliled countries TO ner

billions of dollars and another being a
reduction of German reparations due tc

FOUR-POWER PACIFIC TREATY
HAS BEEN FORMALLY SIGNED

Washington, Dec. 13.-(By the A. P)-
The four-power Pacific treaty, with
reservation attached to make it ina2plic-
able to purely domestic uestions and to
the American mandate policy, was form
ally signed today by the plenipotentiaries
OF the United States. Great Britain, ia
pan and France.
The reservation, presented in writing by
tho American representatives and accept
ed by all the others, declares that the
Am-<can attitude toward Pacific man
dates shah not be affected by the treaty,
and that the treaty provision for four
power consultation on uestions arising
over the Pacific islands shall not be con
sirued as applying to any problems which
IN International law are only OF @'mss-
tic concern.
No formal ceremony accompanied the
sffixiuZ of seals and signatures.

ULSTER NOT TO INTERFERE

Ihe Ulster premier's letter of that date
announces to Mr.. Lloyd George that his
proposals for an Irish settlement have
been exhaustively examined by Sir James
and his cabinet. It proceeds to diIate nm
listers unabated desire to retain British
citizenship and to point out the sacri-
fces Ulster made in agreeing to self
government and the establishment of an
Ulster parliament, much against our
wish, but in the interests of peace"
Complaining that southern Irishmen
are now repudiating the act Of 1920 and
pressing for wider powers, Sir James
says:
To join in such pressure is repugna nj

the further interest of peace we therefore
respectfully decline to determine or inter.
