BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER.


BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, France, April 6.-The Brit
ish admiralty has demurred at COM
premise over French naval replace
ments reached by Foreign Ministers
Arthur Henderson and Aristide BRAND
in three-hour conference in Paris a
week ago. This compromise was to
leave the French claim for $4,000 tons
of additional requirements to be settled
at the Disarmament Conference next
year.
Italy, however. objects. The italian
objection, coupled with the stand taken
by the British admiralty. seems to jeo-
pardize the whole French-It Italian Brit
ish agreement in principle in February.
President CASTOR Doumergue OF the
French Republic will confer with NJ.
BRAND and Naval Minister Charles Du-
mont, at Villefranche, Thursday, with
the view of fixing Frances final
attitude.
PessImism Felt in Paris.
The situation is regarded here some
what pessimistically. Following the
Aust~o- German project for customs
uni3n, and the enigmatical attitude
French opinion is indispoSed to naval
concessions. On the other hand. II the
leboriously reached French-B British
Italian naval agreement now falls
through. the success of the General
Disarmament Conference. scheduled for
n:xt February, will be rendered dubi-
Gus. it is said.
French opinion regrets that the
United States. after being instrumental
in bringing about agreement in princi-
Pile, has since dropped out. The French
trust the impartiality OF American
diplomacy, but not that Of the British.
The Paris newspaper lie Matin asks
plafntively why Hugh S. Gibson, Amer
lean Ambassador to Belgium, has sud-
denly retired, leaving everything to the
British expert, Robert L. Craigie, and
why the British Labor government is
apparently unable to impose Its will en-
the British admiralty.
Speech Revives Suspicion.
French suspicious of British naval
circles have been revived by a speech
delivered March Is before the British
Institute of Naval Architects by Admiral
Sir Arthur Hurd, il which he said
The only hope for the Royal Navy is
that the dispositions OF the Lcndon
treaty viii be rendered null and void
by activity in naval construction OF the
non-signatory powers. France and Italy"
This seems to mean that certain
naval officers would prefer to see the
Franco-Italian building race continue,
so that Great Britain would have the
right to invoke the escape clause in
the London treaty and itself build be
yond the treaty figures in certain cate
gories.
