FRANCE AND ITALY
PARITY REFUSED
PAEIS, 25th November.
! An important development has oc- [ curred in the Franco-Italian conversations preliminary to the Five-Power" Conference. M. Briand has received a Note from the Italian Ambassador requesting absolute naval parity with France. The request is being carefully; considered. It is understood that the Government is unfavourable to parity; and to the abolition of submarines.
. M. Georges Leygues, Minister of the Navy, states that France will never accept naval parity with Italy, as Italy demands in the Note received from the Italian Ambassador. M. Leygues added that France hopes to continue the naval conversations, with Italy, but will never admit parity or abolition of submarines.
As the Italian Note makes France's acceptance of the thesis of parity a foremost condition, the continuation of the negotiations is doubtful.
