keenly aware Of the reaction which
disarmament success would have upon
naval building in the United States.
Should any appreciate headway be
made at Geneva toward disarmament
the result undoubtedly would be a
second naval conference between the
chief naval powers. Secretary Kellogg
has indicated Americas readiness to
take up naval reduction second time
by authorizing the statement that the
United States believes that the chief
naval powers could enter into a naval
agreement among themselves. and
that they should do so."
This does not mean, however, that
this Government will be rushed into
any new naval conference. The in
itiative, on the contrary, will have to
come from other interested parties,
and the State Department will have
to be firmly convinced that success
is possible before the movement is
launched. Most especially, the State
Department will have to be convinced
that the big-navy element in the Brit
