Before entraining, man said: “We shall finish our work this time, one way or the other. We are going back after long discus- sions with the cabinet and I think the position is clear. The govern- ment thoroughly discussed the whole situation and the position of Great Britain remains funda- mentally unchanged. I can only say I have just as good hope for a settlement as when we came back.” L«rd Cecil remarked: “I am al- ways hopeful, but I regard the position as unquestionably ariti- cal.” The delegates are due in Gene- va Thursday morning. Sir Austen Chamberlain, the foreign secretary, in a statement in commons, regarding the naval conference at Geneva, today said that in the opinion of the govern- ment there need be no difficultv arising at a temporary arrange- ment regarding the immediate fu- ture of cruiser building. Sir Austen added, however, that the British empire could not be asked to give to any such tem- porary arrangement the appearance of an immutable principle which might be treated as precedent. Might Hurt Prospects Sir Austen said that it would be improper at this stage to make any detailed explanation of the British proposals of the interested Mr. Bridge- “The statement I am going to read is therefore designed only to remove a misunderstanding, which, if continued uncorrected, could not but impede the prospects of suc- cess,” he said. “Dernite the efforts of our dele- gates at Geneva, serious misappre- hensions of the aims of the Brit- ish government ill prevail in some quarters,” continued the for- eign secretatry. “His majesty’s -| government even has been charged with the desire to destroy that equality of seapower, as between the United States and the British empire, which the Washington conference contemplated—a _sus- picion for which there is no foun- dation.” h Washington’ Parley, The invitation of .the president s|of the United States to take part in the disarmament conference was’ understocd by his. majesty’s government to be based on the de- sire to develop the policy of the Washington conference by dimin- ishing yet further labor and¢ex- penditure while maintaining na- tional security. “With this two-fold aim, his majesty’s government is in com- plete agreement, and they desire |to measure the merits of every preposal by the degree to which it furthers this two-fold purpose.” a AWAIT IMEN’S RETURN eneva, Jab) lithe Amer jican delegation to the tripartite naval conference was informed to- | day that W.
