Important Groups 29.75 FREQUENT CONTAGT OF NATIONS URGED Britten Suggests Repeated Discussions to Promote Better Understanding. By the Assoclated Press. Chairman Britten of the House naval committee yesterday announced that he expects to propose adoption by the Interparliamentary Union of a plan for frequent informal discussions between representatives of two or more nations on their specific international problems. Britten divulged his plan in a letter sent to Comdr. Joseph M. Kenworthy, a member of the British Parliament. The letter was in answer to a cablegram relative to a previous proposal of the chairman for a conference on naval | limitation between committees from the House and Parliament. Tioped for Conference. In his letter, made public yesterday, Britten wrote that he had hoped for a conference between British and Ameri | can members of the Interparliamentary was decided by a vote of seven well known singers and teachers. These judges were Mme. Louise Homer, Gilovanni Martinelli, Yeatman Griffith, Josef William Mengelberg, D. Tertius Noble, George Ferguson and Pierre V. Union on the naval question before the annual meeting of the, Union at Geneva in August. But, he said, if no better plan presented itself, he ' intended to propose that the Union indorse and adopt “frequent personal contacts be- tween the representatives of two or more nations without walting” for its annual meeting. Specific problems applying only to those nations then might be discussed publicly a¢ such meetings, he said. “The time has passed when millions of men and women can be tricked or blundered into war by ambitious execu- tives or irresponsible diplomats.” Britten declared. “Secret so-called diplomatic understandings and mysterious treaties affecting the very life of a nation are out of place in a world desiring peace and equality of opportunity.” As long as no agreement is reached for equality on the seas, Britten con- tinued, every appropriation for warship construction in England and the United States would be looked upon as money wasted in competitive construction. | Without an agreement, he added, the United States should “adopt a policy on national defense that would supersede all powers " “American prestige and trade routes o every corner of the earth,” he wrote, “surely command the same measure of protection that is accordded their co- temporaries.” SLOT MACHINE SEIZED. e | A raid by Headquarters Detectives | | Frank Varney and H.
