rather guarded in their comments.
Apparently the American plan Is far

Beyond that is third. equally blunt
suggestion for a continuing agreement
to limit the size OF battle fleets per-

program 1t appears that the United
States sought to convey concrete as
surance OF the unselfish purpose with
which 1t has entered the conference.

just and unacceptable.
