MORROW TO STUDY
PACT WITH DAWES
Senator Asked by StimSon to
Discuss Treaty of France
and Italy.
ID the AssociAtAd prAsk.

By the Associated Press.
Conferences which Senator Dwight
w, Morrow of New Jersey will have with
Ambassador Dawes in London at the
suggestion of Secretary Stimson may
result in change in present plans to
place the Franco-1talian naval accord
in final form.
Secretary Stimson said yesterday he
had wirelessed the Senator, who is en-
route with Mrs. Morrow to Europe on
the LeviAthan, asking that he discuss
the entire question with Ambassador
Dawes upon his arrival in london.
Suggestions to British.
The Secretary, in studying the basis
of agreement resulting from the British
FrAno-1talian negotiations, has reached
some conclusions which he desires COM
municated to Ambassador Dawes and
which eventually will reach the British
foreign Office in the form Of plggestions
In the event these suggestions are
accepted, 1t was considered highly prob
able here last night that the proposed
cial naval powers. the United States,
Great Britain, Japan, France and italy,
to draft the agreement In Anal form,
may be fnodif1ed or Abandoned.
There were no indications to to what
form the Eecretary'B suggestions might
take, but Senator Morrow has wire
leSsed Mr.. Stimson expressing willing
ness TO lay them before the Ambassador.
In Touch With Senators.
AS information was received from
Europe during and after the IlegotiA-
tions for an Italo-French settlement
Secretary Stimson kept In constant
touch with Mr.. Morrow and Senators
Reed Of Pennsylvania and Robinson Of
Arkansas, and discussed his ideas with
them.
The attitude of the United States is
that the agreement between France and
italy on the naval problem was q ques-
ton mainly concerning the affected
powers, and that the United States was
too remote to be directly involved. The
japanese share similar viewpoint.
All the consideration the United
States has given the agreement has been
directed mainly toward avoiding the
necessity of American signature and
any changes in the Washington or Lon
don naval treaties which would require
Senate action.
