* MR BRITTEN'S PROPOSAL. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION —BV KLKCTIUC TELEGRiPH—COPYRIGHT.) WASHINGTON, November 29. If Mr Baldwin asks for the guidance of the United States Government regarding Mr F. A. Britten's proposal he will be advised to ignore it. According to authoritative circles, both Mi Coolidge and the State Department are expected to ignore it also. Unless it is officially brought to tiie attention of the Administration it is understood that the latter would pre* fer to let the proposal die without further discussion, and this is expected to happen unless Sir Britten, who is chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, or someone in London, revives the matter. —Australian Press Association.
