A joint official statement an* nounced on Thursday night that the Grandi-Hoover-Stimson conversations consisted of a candid discussion of the present financial situation, inter* Governmental debts, reduction of armaments, and stabilisation of international exchanges.
The statement said that the foundations had been laid for future Italian and American co-operation for world betterment, and expressed the conviction that the general acceptance of a year's arms truce forecast* i good results at the February disarmament conference at Geneva.
The informality of the conversations, with a consequent lack of definite commitments, was emphasised.
Signor Dino Grandi, Italian Foreign Minister, has been conferring with President Hoover and Mr. H. L. Stirason, U.S. Secretary of State, at Washington. Signor Grandi was the author of th# arms truce proposal.
