THE NAVAL CONFERENCE.
London, March 22. The Tiiucs, in a further reterence to tin? Naval Conference Blue Books, says that if Britain agrees to the establishment of a court it will be on conditions which do not pledge us beforehand to "recognise, at the bidding of an international tribunal, an iniquitous pretension. On the other hand it would have been reasonable to give and take on other points. The destruction of neutral prizes is I restricted to an imperious military neI cessity, which must be proved to the satisfaction of the court.
The Times states that the greatest success of tile Conference is the agreement on three lists, the lirst of which defines absolute contraband of war, the second conditional contraband, and tile third goods not contraband. The lastnamed list includes practically all the raw materials of British industry, such as cotton.
