Tentative Agreement on Battleships Proposed "Reduction in Battleships Said to Follow | 5-5-3 Ratio Established at| Washington Conference London, Feb. 5.--An interna tional © disarmament conference dealing with land as well as sea forces after the five power con- ference has been complbted was predicted by Premier MacDonald today. London, Feb. 5.--~The highest au- thority stated today that Great Bri- tain, the United States and Japan expected to reach a tentative agree- ment within a few days for reduc- tion of capital or battleships con- tained in those countries' navies. This source stated that the United States had submitted definite propo- sals to Great Britain and Japan. While the details were withheld it was understood the proposed reduc- tion would follow the 5-5-3 Capital ship Ratio established at.the Wash- ington conference, Tentative Agreement It was said, however, that the pro- posed agreement betwee. the three nations would be only tentative, the United States contending that it was contingent upon the settling of the cruiser question. 4 The general problem of battleships is being negotiated now between the delegations of the three countries. The general attitude of the three de- legation chiefs is said to be that there are prospects of readiest acceptance althought thus far there is no a- greemeént between any two. The British capital ship total now | stands at twenty. The United States has 18 of the big ships and the Jap- anese ten, These limits were set by the Washington conference, France Gives Approval Members of the French delegation expressed their approval of the pro- posed agreement and said that the would be in accord with any boo development, The delegations this morning devo- ted their time to discussions among their own members, Ottawa,--As the result of an ac- tion instituted by a taxpayer, Mayor-elect Alvarez Brisson and 4 members of the Council of the Vil- lage of Casselman have resigned. .

Champion, Cana- adian Press Staff Correspondent) London, Feb, 5.--The comprom- ise proposal on the Unemployment Insurance Bill, which the House of Commons offered the House of Lords last night, has been accept- ed by the majority in the upper house. This is averted the crisis which for a time threatened a political upheaval, with a possible dissolu- tion of parliament and new elec- tions. London, Feb, 6.--Whatever cri- sis did arise between the House of Lords and the House of Commons, has evaporated and is not likely to arise again for a considerable time, The House of Commons last night sent the government's unemploy- ment insurance bill back to the up- per chamber, for the third time, after making a compromise amend- ment limiting its operation to three years. The upper chamber had twice sent it back with amend- ments making it effective for only one year. On the one hand most Labor par- liamentarfians agree the matter would make poor material for ah appeal to the country in a general election, And not a few Conserva- tives believe a longer time limit than 12 months should be allowed for the experimental operation of the bill, which seeks to extend the revisions of the dole. So there was little doubt that when the compro- mise comes before the House of Lords late today or tomorrow it will be accepted. Np one wants another general election now, with the great naval conference, the government's im- portant coal bill--which last night received the blessing of the Liberal party--and other matters as mo- mentous on hand. The government received seb- stantial majorities--113 and 1156-- on divisions in the house last night Lover the coal bill, which will enter the committee stage after changes designed to meet the approval of the Liberal party.

Hon. Stanley Baldwin today nailed the flag of em- pire trade--not empire free trade-- to the Conservative masthead.
