Disarmament
CONFERENCE
IS NOW SURE.
British Acceptance of Three
Power Plan Reaches
Washington
EXPECT OTHERS
Administration Hopes That
France and Italy Will
Participate

WASHINGTON, March TO- Py =
American hopes for further curbing
competitive naval building advanced
a long stride today when British ac-
ceptance of the three-power confer
ence plan was received at the state
department.
Word from Japan is still awaited,
but with acceptance assured. Prep
aration of formal notes of invitation
to ratify verbal agreements for a
meeting at Geneva this summer has
already begun.
Paralleling these definite steps to-
ward three-power conference run
the strong hope of Washington au-
thorities that France and Italy ulti-
mately will find it possible to par
ticipate in some degree.
The British acceptance was deliv-
cred verbally by Ambassador Howard
to acting Secretary Grew. Ambassa-
dor Matsudiara is expected to com
municate Japanese acceptance as soon
as he hears from Tokyo.
It is already certain that the for
nal Invitations will contain no
American formulae for extending the
principles of the Washington treaty
to auxiliary craft nor any other
declarations that will prevent the
free and open consideration of every
aspect of the question at Geneva
There will be no effort on the part
of the Washington government to
hasten the Geneva deliberations un-
duly. The American plan contem-
plates the most extensive considera-
tion of the difficult economic and nj
ternational questions tied up with
the naval building program in order
that a maximum degree of limitation,
consistent with national security for
each government, may be obtained.
For that reason there will be no
effort to propose a formulae in ad-
vance, probably not even as to ratios,
although the five-five- three WASH
ington treaty agreement as to the
more vital element of battleships and
ajrplane carriers naturally may be
expected to prevail
