NAVAL PACT
ITALY'S ACCESSION EXPECTED SHORTLY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, November 19. Italy’s instrument of accession to the London Naval Treaty is expeeled to reach London shortly. A process verbal will then be circularised for signature to the States signatory to the Treaty, and the provisions of the Treaty for the exchange of information in regard to projected naval programmes will come into effect. The treaty limit of 35,000 tons for battleship construction was raised to 45.000 tons in the escalation discussions following the withdrawal of Japan. Britain, however, announced lhat, provided no other European power built beyond 40,000 tons, she would confine her battleship construction within that limit.
