BRITTEN'S PROPOSAL.
U.S. Administration Would Let It Die. ADVICE TO BRITAIN. (Australian and N.Z. PVera Association.) (Received 9.30 a.m.) WASHINGTON, November 29. A United Press Association message states that if Mr. Baldwin asks the guidance of the United States Government regarding Mr. Britten's proposal for a discussion of the naval controversy between Britain and America he will be advised to ignore it. According to authoritative circles both Mr. Coolidge and the State Department are expected to ignore it also unless it is officially brought to the attention of the Administration. It is understood that the latter would prefer to let the proposal die without further discussion, and this is expected to happen unless Mr. Britten or someone in London revives the matter. BALDWIN HAS DOUBTS. LIMITATION OF NAVIES. (Australian Press Assn.—United Service.) (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, November 29. Mr. Baldwin, in an answer to a question, stated that the Government was considering what steps it could usefully take regarding the further limitation of naval armaments. He doubted whether the suggestion of an invitation to France and America to a conference with Britain was likely to attain the desired result.
