[By Electric Cable—Copyright.] [Aust. and N.Z. Cable Association.] (Received Thursday, 7 p.m.)
WASHINGTON, February 3.
It is authoritatively learned that President Coolidgo is disappointed at the postponement of the Geneva Conference and has now revived the idea of calling another Washington Arms Conference, for the following reasons: First, he believes further limitation should be handled by the Naval powers concerned, without representation 1 of small non-Naval States: second, American participation in the Geneva Conference would draw the United Slates into European disputes; third, President Coolidge is anxious to combat the agitation for larger United States Naval armaments which will be difficult unless further limitations are agreed on; fourth, hd desires to fulfil his 1924 election pledge to assume the leadership In world disarmament.
It is expected ho will extend invitations to the major powers next summer and autumn for a conference during the winter or spring.
