in Geneva, believes Americas part In
the sessions is regarded in q friendly
light.
Il believe it is understood we are

cred with dispassion," he said. IF it
had been matter of actual ships or
actual military units, perhaps it would
have been different"
Americas real interest in the con-
ference will begin when 1t reconvenes
in March, he believes. The issue will
then pass from the hands of the tech.
