ARMS CONFERENCE
AMERICA’S INVITATION TO BRITAIN.
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE’S VIEW
DOMINIONS CONSULTED.
WASHINGTON, March 15.
President Coolidge declared that, he was fiot contemplating inviting Canada and the other British Dominions to the proposed Geneva naval limitations conference. He assumes that the proposal, as made to the British, was agreeable to the Dominions. He understands the British Government confered with them before acceptance of the invitation.
It was understood, according to an official statement, that tho entrance of Britain implied the 'concurrence of the whole Empire, because the various Dominions were consulted before the invitation was accepted.—(A. and N.Z.)
OPINION IN FRANCE. AN UNPOPULAR SUGGESTION.
PARIS, March 15. The Press is generally shy of the suggestion that France should have an observer at the Naval Disarmament Conference, and contends that the danger to Franco’s interests is not removed.
“Pertinax,” in the “Echo do Paris” holds that the refusal to attend has made President Coolidge more circumspect. The idea of an observer is not a bad solution, but the observer must speak laconically and keep at a distance from the net set to catch him.— (A. and N.Z.)
