The nu-wl leaders ex- lTT-‘Sfid anxiety ov.r the resumpiicn o! s building race, with Italy, but 1t was significant to note that many members of Panimicnt insisted that France already hurl delayed its building program too long, awaiting the outcome of the deadlocked neg- otiations ln London.

Members of the naval eoininlitce indicated that they might return an early report in order to permit a. hasty vote on naval credits in June, immediately after which the lilinist- ry of Marine would submit a second protect calling for more naval con- structlon.

The committee definitely decided to speed the building program. P10!‘- re Appel, chairman of the naval body, conferred with Charles Dum- ont, Minister of Marine, explaining to him Parliament's point of view as follows:

L-France must insist on the right to build replacements after 1934, a. point at present disputed in the Franco-Italian accord parleys. 2—Parliarrierit must push the vote for credits for the two building programs, the flratof which will be for 40,500 tons to be placed before the Chamber soon and to be debated June 2; and a second program for s. similar tonnage, to be placed before the Chamber in July and debated in October.

“But 1 can say this," declared Mr. Weir, "that never before was there a Government which realized more than we did the exigencies of the situation oi the western tanner, due to circumstances over which he had no control, and our offer was cum- merisurate with our appreciation of the situation.
