BRITAIN TO PUBLISH NAVAL COMPROMISE.

ALL REPLIES NOW IN GOVERNMENTS HANDS. (United Pwm Assn.—By Electric Telerr&ph.—Copyright.) (Received October 11, 11.30 am.) RUGBY, October 10. It is understood that the. situation regarding the proposed Anglo-French compromise on the limitation of naval armaments will be discussed at to-day’s Cabinet meeting and the question of the official publication of relevant documents, the contents of which are now generally. knojvn, will be considered. Parliamentary discussion of the mat ter will take place during the first week of the new session of Parliament, probably on the Labour amendment to the Address-in-Reply to the Speech from the Throne. The Foreign Office states that the reply of the Italian Government to the Anglo-French proposals for the limitation of naval armaments having reached London, the observations of all Powers to whom the proposals were communicated have now been received. There is therefore no longer any reason why relevant documents should not be made public. They are accordingly being collected for that purpose and will be published as soon as they can be printed. The consent, where required, of the other Governments concerned has been obtained.—British Official Wireless.
