DISARMING THE NATIONS
SIR JOSEPH WARD CONFIDENT. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last -Night. - A deputation from th© Navy League to-day congratulated the Prime Minister on his reply regarding the Singapore base and expressed the view that -while not opposed to disarmament it wanted to see the security of the Empire assured. Sir Joseph Ward, in reply, said he believed the present negotiations between Mr. Ramsay MacDonald and the President of the United- States would lead to a general understanding on the question of disarmament. If they could come to terme it was certain Germany, France and Italy would be invited to jo: i. It was his conviction that; a reduction in armaments would follow the meeting in New York. In the meantime he thought they would have to play a waiting game instead of stepping in and conveying New Zealand’s views to the English Government. He warmly appreciated the reference to his attitude regarding the Singapore base.
