B4 = $123000,000 VOTED FORFRENCH NAVY Deputies Approve Govern- ment Program for 1931- 32 in Record Time. By the Associated Press. PARIS, February 19.—The Chamber of Deputies voted the 1931-32 naval budget in the record tfme of three hours yesterday, with little opposition to the government's figures. The speed with which the measure was carried was interpreted generally as meaning that the French Parliament had reached the limit of naval limita- tion as far as the 1931-32 program ‘was concerned. $123,000,000 Voted. This program. which devotes approxi- mately $39,000,000 to the laving down | of new construction, provides for be- ginning work on about 42,000 tons. Of this total, 23,333 would be devoted to one battle cruiser, there would be an- other light cruiser of 7,000 tons, two submarines of 2,800 and 2,500 tons and some lighter construction. The whole appropriation for naval needs totals about $123,000,000. Charles Dumont, minister of marine, in explaining the project to the Depu- tles refrained from specifying the ac- tual construction schedule. He explained that he did not want to hamper present conversations between France and Italy, and this caused some of his hearers to conclude the two countries might oe nearer agreement than had been thought in some circles. . Policy Hit. R. L. Craigie, British admiralty ex- pert, who has been discussing the Franco-Italian differences here, left for London yesterday, but it was under- stood he expected to report to the British admiralty and return to Paris. He has been acting as a sort of medi- ator between the two countries, and has had frequent interviews with Rene Massigli, the French negotiator, and Augusto Rosso, who has been acting in a similar capacity for Italy. American naval policy was mentioned once during yesterday's debate, when Edcuard Bussat, deputy from Paris, asked: “Why should the United States insist upon a fleet as powerful as that of England while both countries refuse France capital ships, granting only sub- marines and light crusers?” = = ESTATE SET AT $81,924 Mrs. Emma F.
