DISARMAMENT PROPOSALS.
MR. HARDING'S ATTITUDE.
NO ACTIVE STEPS. Australian and N.Z Cable Association. (Eecd 5.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, May 7. The American Ambassador to Britain, Mr. S. Harvey, will broach the subject of disarmament when he takes his place at the deliberations of the Supreme Council. The President, Mr. W. G. Harding, however, does not intend taking active steps to further the disarmament proposals. While he is anxious for the House and Senate discussions, he does not want Congress to act while world affairs are in such an uncertain state. He prefers to wait till he sees an opportune time for purely executive functions, and resents any effort on the *part of Congress. THE KNOX RESOLUTION. INDEFINITE DELAY URGED. Australian and N.Z.
