U.S. PLEASED WITH WAY CONFERENCE HAS BEEN OPENED.
NEW YORK, June 20. Editorial opinion expresses satisfaction at the frankness with which the programmes have been advanced at Geneva, and shows confidence that important agreements will be reached. The “New York World” says: “The proposals contain a few surprises, but the frankness shown promises a businesslike dispatch. The British suggestion to cut the battleship tonnage may be objected to as re-opening the Washington Treaty, but it re-opens it in the right direction.” The “New York Times” says: “The hope that the .second Naval Limitation Conference will end in a harmonious and satisfying agreement is not unwarranted. Each delegation will contend for what it believes its national interests require, but the cause is so important that a working agreement will be found.”
