NAVAL PARITY WANTED
ITALY SUBMITS DEMAND TO FRANCE
PARLEY MAY BREAK DOWN . PARIS, Monday. An important development has occurred in the Franco-Italian conversations preliminary to the Five Powers Naval Conference. The French Foreign Minister, M. Briand, has received a Note from the Italian Ambassador, Signor G. Manzoni, requesting absolute naval parity with France. This request is being carefully considered. It is understood that the French Government is unfavourable to parity with Italy, also to the abolition of submarines.
M. Georges Leygues, Minister of the Navy, says France will never accept naval parity with Italy. France hopes to continue the naval conversations with Italy, but will never admit parity or the abolition of submarines. As the Italian Note makes the acceptance by France of the thesis of parity a foremost condition, the continuation of negotiations is regarded as doubtful.
