Five-Power Agreement is as Remote as Ever
FRENCH UNACCOMMODATING. United Press Association. —By Electrit Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Thursday, 9 p.m. WASHINGTON, March 27. The possibility of obtaining a fivePower naval agreement in London is still left Temote to-day despite Mr. H. L. Stimson’s statement offering a consultative pact, provided it involved no obligation to render military assistance. Press despatches from Paris indicate that little importance is attached to Mr. Stimson’s suggestion by the French Government. The Acting-Secre-tary of State, Mr. Cotton, after a conference with President Hoover, to-day expressed the view that it is hardly likely a consultative pact will bring any reduction in tonnage asked by the French. The United States will mot consider a military guarantee in any circumstances, since it is felt it would be provocative of international misunderstanding, as well as involve America in undertakings which the people would never underwrite.
