Coolidge Doubts Second Arms Meet
President Coolidge said there is no foundation for a rumor he will call a new naval arms conference. He believes no meeting will occur in 1929 and expects no reopening of the Geneva talks. He noted continued friendly ties among the U S Great Britain and Japan despite Geneva failures. He cited the Peace Bridge dedication as the first display of goodwill toward Britain. He maintains China policy aligns with his New York speech and credits foreign forces in Shanghai with protecting lives and property.
