NO POOLING OF NAVIES.
TO MAINTAIN PEACE. HOOVER-MacDONALD TALKS. BASED ON KELLOGG-BRIAXD PACT (By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) (Australian Press Assn.— Service.) (Received October 12, 1.15 p.m.) WASHINGTON, October 11. Mr 11. L. Stimson, Secretary of Stale, in a formal statement to-day said that moral not military influence was the purpose the President (Mr Hoover and the British Premier (Mr MacDonald) sought in reaching an understanding during their talks. He denied the published statement that Britain and the United States had in effect agreed to pool their navies to maintain the peace of the world. He .-.•lid during the whole of the conversations there was not a syllable of such a suggestion. The tenour of the conversations was exactly the reverse. The basis cf the discussions was the Kellogg-Eriand pact, which aims at outlawing war and all forcible means of compulsion of nations and which relies wholly upon the public opinion of the world as its sole sanction. Nothing could have been further from the truth than to suspect that they contemplated any joining or pooling of the navies; no such idea was ever broached or discussed.
