WASHINGTON. Jan. 7.-Arrange.

Great Britain and announced in state

countries and other neutral nations
also would be improved.
Tho statements Indicated that sc
far as Italy and Holland are CON

believes the danger OF getting contra

cafly been removed. Should effective
measures be agreed upon between the
