Willing, However, to Agree
Not to Maintain Superior
Fleet in Mediterranean.
INVITATION TO PARLEY
TO BE ACCEPTED BY ROME
Premier Says Japan Ardently De-
sires Actual Cut by All
Powers at London.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, October 14-It was under
stood in reliable circles today, as the
cabinet began its discussion of Frances
reply to the British naval conference
invitation, that the French government
could not consider naval parity with
Italy.
France believes, it was said, that
parity with Italy would be tantamount
to French inferiority, because, while
italy would be able to maintain an en-
tire fleet. in the Mediterranean, France
would be obliged to distribute her
forces in both the Atlantic and the
Mediterranean to protect an extensive
coastline.
1t was understood, however, France
was ready to make an agreement not
to maintain In the Mediterranean q
fleet superior to that of Italy.
Information also was that the United
States now has a complete under
standing of Frances general position
in the naval conference, particularly
Frances determination to utilize the
submarine as a purely defensive weapon
and obey the mandate of the Wash
ington treaty concerning submarines
that is. to adopt a humane attitude and
not sink merchantmen and passenger
ships.

FALL TRIAL ENTERS
ITS SECOND WEEK
Roberts Expects to Conclude
Case TomorroW-Shoup and
AtWeII Questioned.

With the bribery trial of Albert b.
Fall entering upon its second week to-
day. Government counsel laid the
groundwork for the completion Of Its
case by offering additional evidence
bearing on the alleged conspiracy be-
tween the former Secretary of the In
terror and Edward L. Doheny by which
in return for 100000 the Pan-Ameri-
can Co. was to obtain control over the
Nays valuable reserves In California.
Owen j.. Roberts of special Govern
ment counsel expects to conclude his
case tomorrow, after which Frank j.
Hogan, chief of defense counsel, will
outline to the jury the defense case
1t is doubtful whether Hogan will con-
clude before the early Saturday ad-
journment, in which event the case
would hardly go before the jury before
the first part of next week.
Falls Temperature Normal.
Apparently much rested over the
week end, the 68-year -old defendant
again occupied his seat today Mr..
Falls temperature was said to be
normal To-Day. he expressed the nope
that he would be able to come to court
each day until the trial closes. In case
illness prevents this, he has waived
his right to be present so as to avert
the possibility of mistrial.
With the Pan-AmericAn contract and
leases, which are the basis of the Gov
ernment's case, produced in evidence,
Roberts called several California oil
company officers to strengthen his con-
tention that the leases with Doheny
were conducted without competitive
bidding.
The Government centered its attack
today in an effort to prove that the
Doheny company forfeited its contract
on the resale of naval oil. In support
of this, it produced contract by which
the Pan American Co. resold royalty
oil through the Associated OIL Co., tax
ing advantage Of higher prices.
AS early as July, 1922, J. J. Cotter
of the Pan American Co. wrote to
Fall suggesting curtailment of oil oper-
ations in California due to overpro-
duction resulting In lower prices. Later
Fall told Bureau of Mines officials that
the Government desired to reduce pro-
duction in California fields.
