ENGLAND NOT TO SEEK

said tonight after Capt. R. An
thony Eden had departed for
Geneva to present Britain's case
for quick settlement of the Italo-

The cabinet instructed Eden,
it was understood, that the COM

should take precedence over the
committee of 10 session to con-
slider an anti-Italian oil embargo.
Some authorities doubted the
Franco-British proposals would
be adopted by the League-in
which case they would die.

the victory.
Power of Great Britain and
France to steer the League Of

small nations thus received it's
firsth severe test today.
Debates of minor nations, who
look to the League for protec-
ton from aggression, asserted last
night that the powers had "sold
out" Ethiopia in latest proposals
for peace in the Italo-E Ethiopian
conflict.
Britain, after obtaining con-
demnation Of Italy as aggressor

Fascists half of Ethiopia as "re-
ward" for aggression, they said,
just as Britain, after helping con-

The small nations charge they
made great economic sacrifices to

would work.
Some delegates last night
charged France and Britain had

7 NATIONS VOTE REJECTION
OF JAPANESE DEMANDS FOR
EQUAL NAVY FORCE AT FARLEY
Norman Davis For United
States Urges Program
Would Result in Increas-
ed Naval Building

LONDON, Dec. -. (UP) -
SCyen delegations led by Great
B itain and the United States to-
day rejected Japan's demand for
NJ. Ral equality. 1t was learned
ttat Norman H. Davis, head of
tt EUnited States delegation, pre-
s, ted three arguments against
J5iban's claim. The first was that
il would result in an increase in
styaa Of decrease in naval
b Iading. Secondly, he insisted,
it6would upset the Washington
arr fLondon treaty arrangements,
W ich creates an equilibrium &C
co ding to the respective naval
needs of the signatories and that
there had been changes in the
international situation to warrant
such revision. Thirdly, Davis
argued that the japanese plan
failed to take into account the
varying naval requirements among
the powers.
The japanese delegation to
the fve-power naval conference
Yesterday intimated that Japan
is prepared to concede Great
Britain naval superiority in re-
turn for the equal sea power with
the United States.
The conference was puzzled
whep Admiral Osami Nagano said
f--Ss5p,sce, ,Iapanese views were
accepted the conference might
study the vulnerability and vary
ing security needs of each power
and that in this connection
"slight adjustments" could be
made.
Nagano's statement was inter-
preted as referring to an az
rangement by which the United
States and Japanese fleets would
be equal while Great Britain
would be allowed superior ton
nage-possibly a 5-4-4 ratio.
However, Nagano did not men,
ton figures.
Nagano announced that Japan
proposes equality for Japan, the
United States and Great Britain
on the basis of global total tom
mage parity at the lowest possible
level, This would entail substan-
tial scrapping of warships by the
leadindg fleets. He added that
if the level agreed upon were
lower than the present japanese
strength, Japan was willing 20
tonnage necessary to
reach the common level.
Global parity would enable
each nation to build the kind OF
vessels best suited to its needs.
