LONDON HOPES
OTHERS WILL
JOIN TREATY
Britain Believes III e
Pact With Germany
Will Force Powers
Into Agreement
fCopY,t. 1885. bv the A. P.l

LONDON, June l9.-Great Britain
welded its new naval agreement
with Germany as a bargaining wea-
pom wednesday, confident 1t can
persuade other European powers
To accept naval limitations.
Conclusion of a naval treaty Tor
all principal powers Of Europe by
1937-granting that Japan would
remain adamant against restrictions
on warships-became the objective
Of the British government.
Scarcely had the ink dried on the
signatures to the Anglo-German
agreement, permanently restricting
their navies to a f00-35 ratio, when
il was announced officially Captain
Anthony Eden will resume his ma
val negotiations with the french
government Friday at Paris.
paris advices said French OIL
Gals, seeing only danger IN Eng
lands recognition Of a new navy
for Germany, were reluctant TO ne
eotiate a new pact apart from a
general arms limitation system.)
Great Britain implied in its
treaty with the Reich that II was
ready to approve building up Of the
British and German navies II
other powers should violently up
set" the equilibrium under the
Washington treaty. This will expire
In 1886.
Government authorities said talks
will be resumed with Italy which,
IRE France. was bound by the
washington treaty.
IL was understood a Russian de
legation may be formally invited to
Lcl.oon soon.
Official circles insisted Great
Britain had not abandoned hope
for a worldwide naval conference
before the end OF 1885, as required
by both the Washington and Lon
don five-power treaties.
The Anglo-G German pact diSclos-
ed, however. that both nations are
convinced naval ratios. applying 70
all categories, must be the back
bone for any limitation treaty.
