IC CONVERSATION: /V MOS
PHERE TEMPERED
LONDON, Jan., 21. ('-.^—Prepara
tion for the elaborate d alomitic
and physical settings for the Naval
Conference which opens today are
completed with the. American dele
gate? playing a prominent part.
Bvr.t eships are; at present the'
absorbing ' topic of conversation
with the disclosure that President
Hoover is ready to move lor battle
ship reduction. This was received,
generally, as one of the most hope
ful signs altho it is realized that the
offer must be conditional on what
the other : are willing to do.
The British, who will be affected
the most, made no comment. The
Japan me apparently are distinctly
favorable. Great Britain already in
dicated that she will go far toward
:scaling down on battles ups but the
: course of real difficulty is calculat
ing the reduction which would
mean real parity.
| Italy’s; purpose, is to stand
| pit in her damand for parity with
\ France. These are some of the
Jester clouds hovering about West
j minister Palace where the confer
I duo opens and irorbung the
(delegates, altho on the whole the
| atmosphere is tempered. This is
(one conciliation.
