" NAVY CONFERENGE QUTLOOK DARKENS London Parley Expected to Be Short, With Little Results. By the Associated Press. Multiple complexities in the general international situation were cited in informed circles here yesterday as the basis for a widespread belief that the forthcoming London Naval Conference would be of short duration and little Jesult. The expectation was expressed in Bome diplomatic and naval quarters that it was likely that conference dis- cussions would be largely devoted to the size of vessels rather than to ®ggregate tonnage limits. At about the same time that this view was expressed President Roose- velt conferred over the tea table with Norman Davis, Ambassador at large, who has participated in many of the diplomatic negotiations surrounding ihe preliminaries for the conference. Silent on Conference. Neither White House officials nor Davis would discuss the visit. In other quarters the Ethiopian situation was mentioned as an out- standing obstacle in the way of ac- ‘complishment. Should difficulties there Jessen before the December conference date a long series of other complica- tions would remain. The African war was said in in- formed circles to have had some effect on the British attitude toward any limitation on total tonnage by bring- ing home to England the view it is necessary to her to be able to control the Mediterranean. Through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal lies the shortest route from _England to her possessions in India <and Africa. Feel Navy Inadequate. Some informed observers said that <0 great had been the drain on the British Navy for putting a ring of guns | around the Mediterranean that the | 4 British Isles were left none too well “protected. For this reason these observers gaid there was a belief in official circles that Great Britain would not be too igreatly disposed to talk in terms of ageregate fleet limitations. 1A series of other complications in- weluded § 1—Britain’s policy of having a navy fequal to the combined strength of any g(\w continental powers. ¥ 2_The Anglo-German pact which “gives Germany the right to build up “to 35 per cent of Britain's force. 1 3—French anxiety at German ar- 's naval expansion policy. renunciation of the $-5-3 ratio laid down in the Wash- _ington and London treaties and her “expression of determination to seek equality with the United States and ; Great Britain.

A spokesman for the foreign office also opposed Nanking's plan for na- | tionalization of silver. “Regrets” Currency Reform. | “The Japanese government deeply regrets that China has suddenly an- nounced a currency reform which should have been formulated only after consultation with Japan, ob- | taining Japan's co-operation in view of Sino-Japanese relations,” he said.

BUTLER ASKS PEACE BY EXECUTIVE EDICT Former Head of U. S. Marines Tells Philadelphians That Neu- trality Act Is Weak. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, November 9.— Eight thousand men, women and chil- dren Philadelphians paraded in the name. of peace today and heard one of the Nation’s best known military HECHINGER figures deliver a rigorous denunciation of war. Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, re- tired head of the United States Marines, offered this proposal in the interest of peace: “That the Government pay the busi- ness and commercial interests not to trade with warring nations.” Gen. Butler criticised the present neutrality act as similar to ope the country had before the World War. He asserted that the people should have the final word ‘on a question of entering a war. “There should be an amendment,” he sald, “providing for a referendum | by the people on a question of war. “We ought to have a man in the ‘White House with courage to keep CO.---BUILDING A7 us out of war.
