NAVAL LIMITATION
OBJECTIONS OF TRANCE
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) WASHINGTON, 2nd March. Unofficial intimation from Paris that France may yet modify her rejection of President Coolidge's naval limitation proposals havo been received here, and are now regarded as a hopeful sign. The intimations are based on the past fortnight's successful efforts at Geneva to reconcile the French and American concepts of tho disarmament problem. It is understood that the French misapprehension that America desired to establish a construction ratio of tho naval Powers, similar to tho Washington capital ships arrangement, has been dissipated, and tho French approve of President Coolidgo's basic belief that competitive building in the future can be avoided. It is understood that the French may endeavour to include President Coolidge's proposals at the coming Geneva Preparatory Conference as a possible preliminary to a separate naval conference.
