DISARMAMENT.
NAVA!, LIM ITATION-3. FRANCE MAY CHANGE HER MIND. BY CABLE- PRESS ASSOCIATION -COPYRIGHT WASHINGTON. March 2. Unofficial intimations from Paris that France may yet modify her rejection of President Coolidge’s naval limitation proposals which have been received here, are now regarded -as a hopeful sign. The intimations are based on the past fortnight’s successful efforts .at Geneva to reconcile ihe French and American conceptions of the disarmament problem. It is understood that the French misapprehension that America desired l to establish a construction ratio of the naval powers similarly to the Washington capital .ships arrangement has been dissipated, and that the French approve of President Coolidge’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.
