PARIS CANARD
NAVAL CONFERENCE STORY BRITISH DISSOCIATION, COLD LIGHT OP REASON. (United Service.) (Received 10.20 a.ni.) LONDON, March 14. Official circles are surprised at the Paris story of a forthcoming naval conference. It is learned that Britain has neither issued nor expects an invitation. The Government is unlikely to involve itself in controversies within a few' weeks of the general election, while President Hoover is not sufficiently in the saddle to take the initiative, but the Disarmament Preparatory Commission, which meets in April, may enable the Powers to rcaequaint themselves with other view's and estimate the ehanees of another naval conference before it is convened.
It is pointed out that a recurrence of the 1927 breakdown cannot bo risked, and thorough preparation is necessary, which would be impossible by June.
