U.S.-Britain In Bilateral Accord For Naval Parity Japan Surprises Parley by Intention to Accept Submarine Protocol Three Powers Sign London Agreement Main Basis Is Full Data on Building—Ratio Plan Omitted in Pact By a Staff Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor LONDON, March 26 —A surprise item in yesterday's proceedings was the announcement that Britain and the United States are exchanging notes reaffirming mutual acceptance of parity as between themselves. Thus, should Japanese building involve an increase in the present strength of the American fleet, Britain would also lay down ship for ship with the United States, The fact that Japan is going to sign the protocol on submarine warfare negotiated during the discussions on naval limitation was announced during the ceremony of signing the three-power treaty between Great Britain, the United States and France at St. James's Palace today. Delegates stressed their hope that Japan would later accept the main treaty. "We have every reason to hope," said Viscount Monsell of Evesham, British First Lord of the Admiralty, "that this draft treaty will commend itself to the Japanese Government when they have had full time and opportunity to consider its provisions." No Trace of Ratios The text, he said, is being forwarded to Tokyo, and he added significantly, "It contains not even the slightest trace of the system of 'ratio' to which we understand Japan takes such strong exception." All delegations confessed a certain feeling of disappointment that the results of their long deliberations had not included provisions for quantitative reduction. The French further regretted that there had not been a greater amount of qualitative limitation. All declared they regarded the treaty merely as a bridge for something more worthwhile later. The new treaty has for its main basis the yearly exchange of all building plans. It is hoped that Italy, Germany and Soviet Russia as well as Japan will accede to this treaty before long, as in the words of a French delegate, until then "the very important technical work which we have accom- plished won't have full value." Italy's Position Despite the fact that Italy is not signing the treaty, Signor Dino Grandi, head of that country's delegation, delivered an address, in which he reiterated Italy's inability to join the other naval powers at a time when "an unprecedented economic war" is being waged against her. Mutual assistance agreements between Meditarranean powers under the aegis of Britain, he said, made it essential that Italy should preserve full liberty of action in face of the threat to her security. He added a broad hint that sanctions should be raised, thus "clarifying the international situation" and enabling Italy to append her signature. Representatives of Canada, Aus-
