HOPE BRIGHT
IN GENEVA
League of Nations Is Cheered
BY U. S. Endorsement OF
Proposal Made by Italians


GENEVA. Sept. "a u.N.So'
Encouraged by the promise OF
American participation, the
League of Nations Council today
hoped to be able to declare a
world armament holiday about
November !.
Announcement the United
States endorsed the Italian pro-
pOsal was made to the council
by Hugh r. Wilson, American
ambassador to Switzerland, with
reservations, however, regarding
the current American building
program for cruisers and de-
StrOyerS.
Wilson said the unemployment
situation in America made it
necessary for the Government to
go ahead with the scheduled con-
structiOn, but the proposals rela-
tive to land and air forces were
entirely acceptable to the United
States.
Some objections were raised by
Japan to declaring an armament
holiday in advance of the meeting
of the world armament confer
ence in February, 1882.
