Il DUCE TO DELAY
ARMS DISCUSSION
Attack on BattIeships Indi-
Gates He May Modify
Big Navy Plan.

By the Axsoeistsd Press.
LONDON. July 24.-Premier Benlto
Mussoiini OF Italy has decided TO put
of until Autumn his formal explsna-
ton 70 the British and other powers
Of Italys alleged need for two IS .o00-
ton battleships.
The Anglo Italian naval converse =
tions have been delayed until October
at his request, although they had been
scheduled for early August.
The semi-official journal OF the
italian air ministry. issued yesterday
In Rome. attacked the Italian battle
ship building plans as unnecessary
in view OF the development Of Italia n
aviation. Since MuSsolini is minister
of air certain circles here said they
believed the criticism must have been
made with his knowledge. Conse-
quently 1t was suggested II Duce may
be hunting for a compromise on his
building program which would be
satisfactory to the other powers and
his own nation.
France. when here recently with For
told the other powers France will not
subscribe TO any naval treaty in 1895
unless Italy changes her construction
plans.
The two projected battleships
would make Italy the strongest naval
power in the Mediterranean. Recog
nizing the gravity of a change in the
naval situation in that area, the Brit
ish. through diplomatic channels,
urged Mussolini to change his plans.
Officially however, Italy has stead
fastly refused to halt her building
plans, but now there are renewed
hopes that MuSsolini may scrap his
big navy ideas. 1t is understood. how
ever. Italy will do considerable scout
ing before it says yes" or no" on
the subject of battleShips or even de-
cides definitely on her policies for the
1885 conference.
Probably the Anglo Italian conver-
sations will take place at the same
time as the Anglo-Japanese parley
The eAnglo-American talks also will be
resumed In October.
