ITALY'S REPLY.
NAVY COMPROMISE.
World Limitation Principle Upheld.
TONNAGE BASIS FAVOURED,
(Australian Press Assn. —United Service.)
(Received 1 p.m.) ROME, October 8,
The Italian reply to the FrancoBritish naval compromise has been issued and upholds the interdependence of military, naval and aerial armaments and the extension of the limitation principle all over the world.
The Note recalls Signor Mussolini's speech in June when he said that Italy was ready to accept, a priori as a limit to armaments, any figures, however low, provided they did not exceed any European Continental Power.
He is of opinion that such policy could best' be applied navally by the limitation of the whole tonnage instead of by classes, because it enables countries possessing smaller armaments to adapt their tonnage, thereby securing compensation against stronger Powers.
The Note reaffirms Italy's determination to co-operate in any measures that might make for limitation and be capable of furthering the consolidation and reconstruction of Europe.
