A HOPEFUL REPORT
LATEST BRITISH FLAN British Wireless—Press Assn.—Copyright Reed. 11.9 a.m. RUGBY, Saturday. The best informed circles at Geneva do not share the pessimistic tone of the Press regarding the result of the Naval Limitation Conference, and as the chief delegates have agreed among themselves not to express publicly any opinion on the merits of their respective class, or do more than explain the meaning of facts and figures upon which they are based, adverse Press comments should be discounted. It should also be noted that all the delegates are eager to reach an agreement. This is an important factor in estimating the prospects of the conference, but it is neglected by many of the correspondents. Britain has Indicated the limits to which she is prepared to go to reach a settlement, and the new features of her revised proposals are still under consideration by the United States, which has hitherto contented itself with a reaffirmation of its original thesis of total tonnage. It is thought that armament in the proposed form, meeting the American desire for cruisers armed with Bin guns (which seems to be the main point standing in the way of agreement)! may lead to some modification of the American attitude.
