NAVAL STRENGTHS.
INTERNATIONAL TALKS CONTINUE.
ONE HOPEFUL FEATURE,
UNITY AGAINST OPEN COMPETITION.
1 British Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, Nov. T.
The London bilateral naval conversations were continued when a formal meeting between the British and Japanese delegations was held, the Prime Minister presiding. A brief communique stated that discussions on the Japanese proposals were continued. These proposals, inter alia, substitute equality for the differential rates of naval strengths fixed by the Washington Treaty, but they have so far proved unacceptable to both the American and the British delegations. In their present stage, the conversations were directed towards brining the three Powers into line, but the confidential nature of the talks is being strictly observed.
For the present, no further formal meetings have been arranged, but individual members of all delegations are in close contact with one another.
A hopeful feature of the exchanges so far is the evidence they have given that all parties are united in a desire to prevent a reversion to open unregulated competition.
