PAVING THE WAY
DISARMAMENT CONVERSE'
SIGNIFICANT ’ FRATERNISING.
(British Official Wireless.) (Received 1,33 p.m.) RUGBY, August 19,
A further talk on naval disarmament and Anglo-American' relations took place today between Mr, Ramsay MacDonald and Mr C. G. Dawes, American Ambassador, at Lossiemouth, where Mr MacDonald is holidaying. He met Mr Dawes at Elgin station and the two drove to Lossiemouth, where they had a long conversation during the afternoon. This evening Mr Dawes left by motor car for Blair Athol, where he intends to make a short stay. He will return on Friday to Elgin to be present when Mr MacDonald receives the freedom cf that city. Presumably the conversations will then be continued.
It was emphasised in official circles today that the whole essence of the conversations is tha.t they are confidential, though it is believed that they mark another milestone on the road to naval disarmament.
The “Daily Herald’ ’ learns that considerable ground has been covered already preparatory to Mr MacDonald’s visit to President Hoover in October.
