NAVAL DISARMAMENT
REPORTED CONVERSATIONS. DENIAL FROM WASHINGTON. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright ) WASHINGTON, May 2. Received May 2, at 11 p.m.) The reports from Geneva that informal exchanges relative to naval disarmament are in progress here between Mr Stimson pnd Sir Esme Howard are denied to-day. The State Department, concerning another aspect of the situation, denied the press reports “ that the preparatory commission has scrapped the conception of a reduction of armaments in favour of limitation only.” Mr Stimson, commenting on the declaration of the British Labour Party that “drastic reduction in armaments was long overdue,” said this sounded like the language used by the American representative at the preparatory commission, and it was not disagreeable to the United States.
