Great Britain's principal considera-

colleagues with the advisability Of first
disposing of the question as it affects
the three principals--the United States

Saturday by Secretary Hughes was
purely an American proposal and that
advance knowledge of it had been kept
carefully from all the representatives

every indication to-day that the pub

first bold step in the conference had
been entirely reassuring.

came to Secretary Hughes Office by
thousands and the White House like
wise was deluged with congratulatory
expressions
: A synopsis of the proposal for arma-
ment reduction have been sent to
American diplomatic and consular
agents throughout the world. II .was
explained that this step was another
part of the effort of the American gov
ernment to give the negotiations the
widest possible publicity.
The heads of the delegations of the
five principal powers arrived at the
Pan American convention building
where the committee dealing with
armament limitation procedure was to
meet promptly on time.

After greetings the "Big Five" went in.
to the directors room of the building
on the second floor accompanied by the
technical groups for each power and the
deliberations began.
A slow rain was falling and hardly
person among the few passing under
umbrellas up and down the street
looked up to notice the dignitaries as
they drove up in closed automobiles.
