CONVERSATIONS NOT YET BEGUN AMERICAN ATTITUDE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) WASHINGTON, Wednesday. Reports from Geneva to the effect that informal exchanges of views relative to naval disarmament were in progress at Washington between Mr. Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State,, and Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassador, were denied to-day at the State Department. As regards another aspect of the situation Press reports to the effect
that the Preparatory Commission on Disarmament had scrapped its conception of a reduction of armaments in favour of a limitation only were also denied. Commenting on the declaration of the British Labour Party that a drastic reduction of armaments was long overdue, Mr. Stimson said it sounded like the language used by the American representative at the conference of the Prparatory Commission, Mr. Hugh Gibson. It was not disagreable to the United States.
