After nearly seven weeks of discussion the dele- gates of the United States, Great Britain and Japan found themselves | unable to reach an agreement on the | limitation of cruisers, destroyers and submarines which was the object of the conference. The end came after Hugh §, Gib- json. chief of the American delega- tion, had made the final address of the session, the conference adopting a joint declaration adjourning the conference sine die. i Vote of Thanks Given | The immediate adjournment came atter a vote of thanks had been adopt- ed for Mr. Gibson, the motion being {made by W. C. Bridgeman, chief of | the British delegation. and seconded by Admiral Viscount Ishii of Japan. The last act of the conference was the adoption of the joint motion of | adjournment with the declaration that the governments of the threo powers represented be invited to give new consideration to the pro- blems involved in the hope that the governments would be able to reach ‘an early solution. In this joint declaration, the con- ference also registered its conviction that the obstacles encountered at Geneva should not be accepted as terminating efforts to bring about future limitation of naval armaments, Gib- No Room For Doubt In his final address to the confer- ence restating the American posi- tion, Ambassador Gibson, head of the American delegation, pointed out that the invitation to the conference by President Coolidge left no room for doubt us to the nature of the proposals the American delegation would make, Those proposals, he suid had conformed strictly to! the championship trophy home. this year, but he will pack a prize of much more value to his youthful eyes when he starts his home- ward journey.
