Hobbs Camp.
For more than 500 miles on the sec

There are no towns along this stretch

CONCERN FELT HERE.
Officials Against Premature Naval Dis
armament Conference.

Officials Against Premature Naval Dis
armament Conference.
The rapid development of naval dis
armament discussions abroad is arous-
ing some concern in offlcial circles here
lest an international conference on the
subject be brought about before ade-
quate preparatory work has been done.
A suggestion that the question of re-
ducing sea armament be approached
with caution has been advanced to the
British government by the Washington
administration The latter has long
held the view, despite its known desire
to see the objective attained, that likeli-
hood of failure might be increased if
a conference were called before the
laborious task of working out all pos
sible preliminary details had been COM
pleted. "
It is known here that Prime Minister
Macdonald is eager to take steps to-
ward worldwide disarmament. and that
the United States has been sounded out
informally for its attitude on a con-
ference of the naval powers. Such a
conference would include the sUnited
states, Great Britain, japan, France
and Italy, and the suggestion was that
it might be arranged either separate
from the League of Nations Preparatory
Disarmament Commission or under the
League machinery.
Ambassador Dawes. who has taken a
leading part in the discussions in Lon
don with Prime Minister Macdonald
and diplomatic representatives of the
other governments interested. has no
authority to indicate unqualified ap-
proval of an immediate conference on
behalf of the United States. and Secre-
tary Stinson has made it clear that
nothing definite regarding future pro-
cedure has come out of the conversa-
tions.
