A motion was adopted to call Secretary Wilbur before the commit- tee January 8 to make such recom- mendations as he might deem ex- pedient. Chairman Butler announced that during the dis. ion he had been in- formed unofficially that President Coolidge expected a conference to be held, within a year looking to further naval disarmament. It was at the suggestion of Mr. Butler, however, that the motion for an inquiry was made, The chairman said he supported such a step be- cause he had been charged with at- tempting to override the will of the committee.
