FRENCH SCHEME. POWERS’ MANOEUVRES. THE NAVAL AGREEMENT. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright., LONDON, April 18. The Geneva correspondent of the Daily Express says that France as the price of her disarmament has demanded that the United States abandon the traditional freedom of the seas and that instead there should be an enlargement of the Kellogg Pact whereby the United States would undertake not to trade with a State which the Council of the League of Nations had defined as an aggressor. It is understood that unless Britain favours the French proposition the United States will refuse to countenance the project. It is also known that Sir John Simon, British Foreign Minister, again tried to persuade M. Tardieu, Premier of France, to reopen negotiations with Italy in order that both might sign the naval agreement drafted in London in 1930 and which was rendered abortive owing to France and Italy declining to sign.
