 The answer has been given more or less furtlvely. IL Is that the free dom of the seas is involved. Eng land does not believe in any such freedom during a war.

government of his majesty must
above all state that in principle and
as far as concerns the continent OF
Europe it's point of view Is that there
exists an undeniable interdependence
of every type of armament of every
single power, and, furthermore, that 1t
is not possible to adopt partial meas
ures between only the five large
naval powers. The Italian govern
ment thinks that the limitation of
ornaments, to he efficacious to the
ends referred to by NJ. Coolidg.
should be universal and recalls in this
connection that the example of Wash
ington was not accepted by the minor
naval powers and that the conference
held at Rome in February, 1924. for
the extension of the principles of the
Washington treaty to the powers not
signatory thereto was a failure.
Holds Navy Vital.
Then, as concerns Italy more
specifically, the Italian government
believes it can invoke the same geo
graphical reasons referred to in the
message of President Coolidge. If the
United States, by reason of their
geographical position Cour favored
geogra phical position) has been able
to reduce land armament to the mini
mum, Italy by reason of its unfavof'-
able geographical position cannot ex-
pose itself without grave risks to a
binding limitation of it's maritime
ornaments, which are already INSULT
cient to the needs of it's defense.
Italy has. in fact, only three lines
of communication with the rest of the
world, three obligatory routes, through
Suez. Gibraltar, and the Dardanelles,
for provisioning itself.
Italy has an enormous coast de-
velopment with populous cities and
vital centers on the coast or a short
distance from it. with two large
islands. Decides the dodecanese, all of
which are linked to the peninsula by
lines of vital traffic.
Has Important Colonies.
ITALY has four important colonies
to protect; two of which are beyond
the Suez Canal.
I'm fact. Italy must also consider
the other nations which face on or
can appear in the Mediterranean,
particularly favored by their geo.
graphical position amid essential lines
of communication. and which have
under construction many units of
various types or are celebrating naval
programs of great strength.
For the reasons above stated the
government of his majesty feels con.
f1dent that the government of the
United States will take into account
the reason why Italy cannot, to its
regret, accede to the proposals con
tanned In the memorandum of Febru.
airy 10.'

ITALIAN REPLY STRESSES NEED
OF ADEQUATE NAVAL DEFENSE
Draws Attention to Fact That Nation Must
Get Supplies From 3 Water Routes and
Cites Important Cities Along Coast

The translated text of the Italian re-
ply to the Americans arms conference
proposal handed to Ambassador
Fletcher at Rome and received by the
State Department by cable follows:
The Italian government has sub
mitted to serious examination the
memorandum handed on February
10th by the Ambassador of the United
States of America to the prime minis
ter. minister for foreign affairs.
THE said memorandum explains
the principles which have inspired the
Washington Government in proposing
that, before the contemplated interna-
tional conference for the reduction and
the limitation of ornaments, negotia-
lions be initiated between the five
powers signatory to the treaty of
Washington of 1922 for the purpose
of studying the. limitation of certain
categories of naval ornaments not
covered by said treaty.
Praises Coolidge Spirit
THE Italian government appreciates
fully the high spirit which has guided
the President of the United States of
America in addressing his message to
Congress on the same day in which
the memorandum of the American
Government was handed to the gov
ernments of the great powers inter
ested. The appreciation of the italian
government all the greater value since
Italy has always associated herself
with every international activity tend
ing to establish upon a solid base the
ira nquillity and peace of the world.
THAT spirit which has guided Mr..
Coolidge is, so to say. the heritage of
the Italian government and people.
Italy, in fact, has not only adhered
to the Washington conference, but
has concluded during the past five
years more treaties of friendship and
arbitration than those stipulated by
any other European state. Her actual
military expenses and, above all, her
naval budget, in which there is ap-
propriated SOC, 900 900 lire annually,
equal to about $13.000.000, for new
naval construction. demonstrate clear
ly that the 'far-reaching building pro-
grams alleged in the message GER
tainly cannot refer to Italy.
1924 Farley Fails.
THE American Government pro-
poses in it's memorandum that the
italian government empower its rep
resentatiye on the preparatory dis
armament commission to initiate ne
gotiations at Geneva with a view to
concluding agreements which. in an
ticipation of globial limitation on
naval, land and air ornaments. shall
regulate naval ornaments by limiting
the construction of those lesser yes
sells which were not contemplated in
the accords of 1929.

Grating in the broaderdi disarmament
discussion at Geneva under the
League of Nations auspices, and some
disarmament observers believe that
discussion OF the American regional
agreement plan ultimately will lead
to- efforts to place it in effect between
the United States. Great Britain and
Japan.
Although it is admitted that such a
proposition would present questions of
serious import to Great Britain be-
cause of her close proximity to con-
tinental Europe, there appears to be
little doubt that the three power ar
rangement also will be taken up at
length informally at London, Toxic
and Washington before the Washing
ton Government is willing to concede
that further early naval armament
limitation Is practically hopeless.
Delegation Is Chosen.
Hugh Gibson, American Minister at
Perm and Ambassador-desi to
Belgium, who will continue to head
the American delegation at the Geneva

called at the White House yesterday
for final instructions preparatory to

due to designations from the foreign
service or to other assignment of naval
and Army officers.
Some Changes Made.
Two of Mr.. Gibson's colleagues of
the State Department at the original
Geneva meetings, Allen Dulles and
Dorsey Richardson are missing, hav
ing gone into private business. They
will be replaced by George A. Gordon.
first secretary of the legation at Buda-
pest; j. Theodore Mariner, first secre-
tary at Bern. and s. Pinkney Tuck,

the military advisers, Brig. Gen. FL. A.
Smith, war plans chief at the War
Department, has been replaced by
Col John l.. De Witt, while Capt
Adolphus Andrews of the Navy will
be replaced by Lieut.. Comdr. HI. c.

The original delegations from the
two services, headed by Maj. Gen.
Hilary p. Jones, respectively, are
otherwise unchanged. Rear Admiral
Andrew r. Long will assist Admiral
Jones and Maj. V. Strong will again
help on Army aspects of the work,
