A SPIKE IS THROWN INTO
THE NAVY JUNKING PLAN
Assert Paris Proposal Would Entirely
Upset Whole Scheme of 5-5-3
Naval Reduction.
Washington, D. ,C Tho French del
jgatlon has presented a proposal for
no great an Increases In tho strength
of tho French navy that tho British
doclare such a program, it carried
out, would upset tho whole plan for n
G-5-3 naval reduction.
Although not yet entirely revealed,
the British understand that the
French provision provides for tho con
struction of 10 35,000-ton supcrdrcad
nnughts in tho 10 years subsequent to
1925. Thoso vessels, of a typo slml
lar to tho American battleship Mary
land, would give Franco a capital
ship' tonnngo of 350,000, ns against
315,000 for Japan and n preponder
ance of now "post-Jutland" typo craft
ovor all nations.
Italy, although Indicating dlsap
proval of such a building program, is
said to havo told tho arms confer
ence that if Franco constructs 10
ships, hIio must curry out a similar
program.
Tho comblnod French and Italian
fleets thus would bo somo 200,000
tons stronger than tho British or tho
American nllotmonts under tho ro
vised figures agreed on by the big
three.
Tho question of French and Italian
naval ratios, as compared with tho 5-5-3
standings assigned to tho United
States, Great Britain and Japan un
der an ngroomont provlously reached,
was taken up by tho silb-committoc
of 15.
Tho Brtlsh spokesman said that tho
French proposals, if acceded to, would
"throw out tho wholo naval program.'
Ho declared it had mot with distinct
disapproval from tho British dolega-'
lion.
Tho British spokesman further do
clared that Italy did not npprovo of
tho French proposition, for if It was
carriod out Italy would bo obllgod to
build In tho Bnmo amount. This
moant, ho said, an addition of 700,
000 tons to tho Europoan war floots
and both Franco and Italy woulc.
spend $500,000,000 In tho 10-year por
iod beginning in 1925.
Tho American dologatos, tho Brltlsl
spokesman said, also 'had takon n
strong stand against tho French prop
osltion, first objecting for economic

$2,000,000,000 GO
TO THRIFTY YANKS
They Are Men and Women Who Re
sponded to the Government's
Appeal for Funclj.
Washington, D. .C. Approximately.
$2,000,000,000 haa been added o tho
voluo of government war bonds held
by American citizens in the last nino
months. Tho general rise in value of
Liberty and Victory bonds, which sold
nt 85 and 81 last winter, dates from
March, when President Harding and
tho republican administration took of
fice. Tho policies of President Harding
nnd his cabinet nre believed to have
had an appreciable effect In causing
a rise of confidonco on tho part of tho
Investing public toward tho govern
ment issues. One important Influ
ence, It is said, is tho policy of effic
iency and economy emphasized in gov
ernment financial affairs by tho presi
dent and his assistants.
Tho vast increment in value is
shared by nearly 20,000,000 men and
women who responded to tho govern
ment's appeal for funds with which to
carry on tho war.
Liberty bonds aro selling a n fig
ure within approximately 3 points of
par, or at about 97. In tho last fow
days 97 or better was paid for Liberty
first 4s, Liberty second 4s, Liberty
first 448, Liberty second 4V4s, Llborty
third 43 and Liberty fourth 4 Vis.
Liberty 3V&B sold at around DC, the
lowest on tho list.
Victory 4s recently touched par,
100, while on tho samo day 3vis sold
readily at 99.9. In tho winter and
spring tho Liberty Issues will touch
par, officials believe. Ono or two is
sues may go abovo par, it Is predicted
while tho Vlvtory notes, maturing
within a few months, are regarded as
certain to hoII at a premium. -
