Geneva, May 1 Lp-Belief was
growing here today that the future
of disarmament lay in Washington.
not in Geneva. 1t was said Ameri-
can initiative. exemplified in pro-
posals on naval armament reduce
tons and Limitation of land forces,
would be emphasized as time went
on and the United States capital
had come to be regarded as leader
in the world disarmament move
ment.
The tendency to consider the naval
problem as essentially that of the
United States and Great Britain re-
inforced this view. 1t was pointed
out that Great Britain and America
had in making certain land force
concessions placed themselves in
position to lead in a measure. too. in
that phase of disarmament in which
they are not so much interested.
The White House. the Washington
state department and Downing street
all were believed to be of the opin-
ion that preliminary agreement
between the United States and Great
Britain along general lines was wise
before the preparatory commission
on disarmament engaged in further
public naval discussions.
The Misunderstanding arising
from failure of President Coolidge's
1927 Geneva naval disarmament con-
ference seemed, it was said. suffi-
cient warning not to undertake an
other public conference until the
ground for it was well laid.
Geneva guessed therefore that Sir
Esme Howard. British ambassador
at Washington, has talked or will
talk with Colonel Stimson. American
secretary Of state, and perhaps with
President Hoover direct concerning
the Anglo-American naval problem.
America-Britain Problem
Once substantial accord has been
established between the United
States and Great Britain 1t was
thought the delegation here could

paratory commission, hardly. prob

committee of the school commit
tee.
&c. A proposal to raise the
maximum salaries paid in New
Britain to meet the average sal
aries paid in Connecticut cities.
The committee of the school COM
mittee are now engaged in check
ing the figures presented by the
Councils committee.
%. The new maximum salaries
for women would be $4,000 for
Kindergarten and grade to G.,
$4,000 for grades Z and S. and $2,500
for grades 10 to -. The maximum
for men in New Britain is already
very high, $500 in grade and $500
in grade IL more than paid to wom-
en- for equivalent work.
"3. Teachers who had reached
this maximum and whose services
have been valuable to the city. and
have taught 10 years in New Brit
ain, and who undertake some extra
profession travel or study at least
once every five years would, accord
ing to the new plan, receive a super
maximum salary of $500, making
their salaries as follows:

$4,000.
women Grades rs, $1,000.
women Grades 9-12, $4,000.
Men $500 more than their
present salaries

recommended because:
"A. They are democratic.
'B. They correct an injustice to
certain groups who are not paid
as much as the average in the
state.
&C. They encourage further
professional study or travel.
I'D. They recognize valuable
service.
'E. They set a new goal for

British Deny Opposition
British quarters today denied all
knowledge of reports that the Brit
ish were opposed to naval parlry
before 1881. 1t was said the whole
work would be kept within the
framework of the preparatory COM
mission which is not called upon to
deal with, or discuss the question
of the second Washington confer
ence scheduled for 1881.
The delegations of the big naval
powers are now concentrating on
the question Of the procedure to be
adopted when naval matters are
reached on the agenda of the com
mission. To this end they are telc-
graphing their home governments
for instructions and expect to reach
a procedure agreement within a
few days.
The question of the date for IN
international conference rests with
the council Of the League of Ma
tions. but the preparatory commits
sion must decide whether to have
a fresh discussion of the naval ques-
ton now or postpone it until au-
tumn. and whether it would be de-
sirable to appoint a naval sub-com-
