probably will elapse before they
have gained their sea legs. There
fore no formal conferences aboard

the first OF next week.
The weather was sparklingly clear

France Will 60 TO the five power
conference at London, converting
January Il, with problems particu-
lar TO themselves unsettled. and the
lines Of disagreement in their
viewpoints drawn more definitely
than at any time before.
Publication here Of the gist OF
the French note Of January 3 70 the
Italian government disclosed that
the Paris government rejected the
italian proposition Of naval parity.
a fundamental Italian thesis for
further negotiation.
1t was made known that the for
eign ministry regarded the French
reply as a rupture OF negotiations
which have gone on for many weeks
between the two countries. The
failure. whether momentary or per-
manent, gave rise TO doubt Of sue
cess in this capital about that part
OF the London naval program es-
pecially affecting France and Italy.
The official attitude generally was
pessimistic.
PARIS, Jan. l0.-tFl-France Is
unable TO concede naval parity to
Italy as a basis for negotiation OF a
Mediterranean pact OF non-aggres-
sion, but official circles do not feel
too much importance should be as
cribed TO the fact.
The French foreign office au-
thorities believe the entire subject
Of sea strengths should be settled
from the standpoint OF the security
needs Of each nation.
Nevertheless. hope for a general
pact Of non-aggression IN the
Mediterranean as a prelude 70 any
agreement which the London con-
ference may evolve appeared con-
siderably dimmed today. 1t was
stated. however, the situation was
not hopeless.
II was learned here that Italy
had frovned upon the idea OF n
broad treaty Of mutual guaran-
tees and instead had voiced q
preference for a strictly Franco
| italian accord, without participa-
ton OF Great Britain and Spain.

Even farther south, in normally

blast moved toward the Rio Grande
Valley and the Gulf coast. Port

Stockmen Of the south and cen

loss as range cattle wandered over
ice coated wastes and the cold add

the trees of one Dallas park were
covered yesterday by Robins flying
south. pecking futilely at ice-cov-

Bus and train schedules through
