priations, it is to be expected that
naval expenditures Of other kinds
will be sharply pruned. Although
Mr.. Borah and others probably will
not consent to be silent on disar-
mament proposals, the chance of
action by the present congress has
passed and the whole problem has
been left for the next president of
the United States, who really want
ed it handled that way SO he might
have the powerful lever in his first
negotiations on q foreign policy.
Great Britain, aware Of Mr..
Harding's views, promptly called
Auckland Geddes, British ambassa-
dor here, for a conference abroad
with the prime minister and the
British cabinet. When Sir Auch-
land left the United States he
knew that the whole question OF
disarmament would come up in the
very beginning of the Harding ad-
ministration and that he could
spend the month of February in no
better way than in formulating
proposals for Mr.. Harding's con-
sideration during the month Of
March.
Effective Appeal.
Although the supremacy Of the
seas is something dear to the heart
Of every Englishman, the argu-
ment that international exchange
, will improve and that the financial
burdens Of the British public will
be made considerably lighter by a
naval building agreement with the
United States makes an effective
appeal perhaps not to sentiment
but to sound economics on both
sides of the Atlantic.
The report of the senate naval
! affairs committee doesn't mean con-
tinued naval expansion, however
ambitious sounding it may be. II
does mean the beginning Of a dis
! armament program and less taxa
ton for there is every reason to
believe Great Britain means to CO.
operate with the United States in
reducing the size of national bud

perately to get back to normal.

of an international conference on dis
armament were considered bright in ad-
ministration and diplomatic circles TO-
day following an announcement that
responses of an informal nature had
been received from several governments
tn which the United States recently ad-
dressed preliminary suggestions for such
a conference.
Although nothing of definite char
acter has been done in the way OF ae-
tual diplomatic discussions, the init
nations received here are understood 70
have encouraged the administration IN
its preliminary steps toward dlsarma-
nent conference. 1t was indicated to-
dav that considerable time might be re-
,uired to bring about such conference
but that officials thought the situation
was developing as rapidly as could rea-
sonablv be expected.
1t was not revealed from what ma
tious the responses had come nor eX-
actlv how definite they had been Since
the subject was broached by this gov
ernment. however officials have been
careful To describe the activity as Who'll
