NEW YORK, 2Gth June;
The "New York Times" Washington ! correspondent states that all the indications are that a conference of five naval Powers will be arranged for shortly in London. It is understood that diplomatic representatives of the French, Italian, and Japanese Govern mentsare participating in the present discussions with Mr. Mac Donald, General Dawes, and Mr. Gibson. It is understood that the questions which are being considered are: Shall there first be a meeting of civilian negotiators to determine the scope and character of the conference, or shall naval ex-, perts meet first to discuss the so-called naval "yardstick," and Hhall' the scope of the conference be limited to cruisers or -all classes of combatant vessels? It is believed that Mr. MaeDonald's visit to the United States may be expedited by the speed with which the present discussions in London are proceeding. The expectation is that the new naval conference may be called within three to seven months.
