COOLIDGE SEES
NAVY CUT WAIT
Expects No Action Before
1881 on Reduction.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Presi-
dent Coolidge is convinced that
nothing can be done toward reduc-
ton in naval ornaments until 1881
it has been made known.
The Presidents view is said to
be that England and France only
have delayed an agreement between
nations by forming a secret naval
pact, details of which just have been
published.
Because the United States, Japan
and Italy have rejected it, the White
House opinion is that the agree
ment will not hold and that some
other will have to be made.
A changed attitude on both the
part of France and England is seen
at the White House. Because of
this willingness to change, Coolidge
is hopeful that at some future time
France, England and the United
States may reach an agreement that
can stand for years to come.
When Coolidge took office he tried
to extend to cruisers and other
auxiliary craft the kind of limita-
ton fixed on capital ships by the
Washington naval treaty. France
and Italy refused to attend the 1927
conference at Geneva.
