to review at length the security pro- posal and touch very lightly on the eventual disarmament conference. an invitation 10 which from Washing ton is awaited In allied circles at any moment.
 Premier Herrlot's attitude in the current talks is that the league pro- tocol is not dead but is fguratively suffering from kind of sleeping sickness, and that with proper treat ment it may be rsvived and sup- piled with the necessary vigor to serve the purpose for which it was brought Into existence. He sticks to the league for general solutions of the security and disarmament problems but is ready to 80 into any arrangement of a narrower scope thbt is likely to give good partial re- suits.
 Both Premier Herriot and Dr. Benes agree that the measures for security must be general among the allies, with no one left out, and that the German proposals require re- vision in that respect before they can be taken into serious considera- | ton.

British View Soon.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, March 16.--The British government has not yet been ih- formed by the Washington author ities for Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador, of the latest suggestion from the White House for a disarmament conference.
 It has been expected in official circles here, however, that concrete proposals would be forthcoming when Frank B. Kellogg assumed the office of secretary of state, as re- suit of the conferences which Mr. Kellogg had with Austen Chamber lain, the foreign secretary, before the retiring ambassador left Lon- don.
 A new proposal, if founded upon this unwritten understanding be- tween Secretary Kellogg and Mr. Chamberlain will be welcomed by British officials and given their ac- tive support, it is declared.
 It is learned, however, that the feeling which existed during the regime of Ramsay Macdonald's la bor government that such a confer ence should be held in Europe under the watchful eye of the League of Nations is not supported by the con- servative government.

It is well known that the British government would welcome such discussion, and the matter, It is understood, is to be dealt with by Foreign Secretary Chamberlain and Premier Herriot in their conversa- ton at Paris today.
 Only two of the morning papers comment on the reports from Wash ington, and they reiterate Great Britains willingness 10 accept an in- vitation to such a conference, should the president issue it.
