POOLED NAVIES.
NOT CONTEMPLATED. Hoover-MacDonald Parleys Misunderstood. AIM TO OUTLAW WAR. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 1 p.m.) NEW YORK, October 11. In a formal statement at Washington on Friday Mr. Stimson said noral, not military influence, was the purpose that Messrs. Hoover and MacDonald sought in reaching an understanding during their talks at Washington. Denying a published statement that Great Britain and the United States had, in effect/agreed to pool their navies to maintain the peace of the world, he said that during the whole conversations there was not a syllable said about such a suggestion. The tenor of the conversations was exactly the reverse. The basis of the discussions was the Kellogg-Briand Pact, which aimed at outlawing war. and all forcible means of compulsion, and Avhich relied wholly upon the public opinion of the world as its sole sanction. Nothing could have been further away from the truth than to suspect that Britain and America contemplated any joining or pooling of their navies; no such idea was even broached or discussed.
