Early Naval Parley
WASHINGTON SUGGESTION Satisfactory Preliminaries British Official 'Wireless Received 11.15 a.m. RUGBY. Tuesday. THE suggestion made in Washington that it might become possible to hold a meeting between the principal naval Powers, to discuss naval disarmament, in London, before the end of the present year, has created much interest here
It is felt that if the preliminary conversations which are taking place between the British and the United States representatives continue to make satisfactory progress, the - meeting of the Powers which it was agreed at the Washington Conference should take place in 1931 might, with the concurrence of the other Powers concerned, be antedated in the manner suggested. The American Ambassador, Mr. C.
G. Dawes, had a further conversation with Mr. Ramsay MacDonald this afternoon on the subject of naval disarmament.
The Admiralty announces that there is no foundation for the statement which recently appeared in the Press to the effect that construction of the cruiser Exeter is not being proceeded with. The Exeter is one of the cruisers laid down in the 1927 programme. The two cruisers whose construction lias been suspended are those of the 192 S programme.
