Reaction To Parley Plan Faces Mixed U S Opinion
Washington Feb 11 First reaction to President Coolidge’s naval limitation plan shows broad approval at home but division abroad. Support for a supplemental Geneva conference to limit cruisers destroyers and submarines contrasts with Senate doubt that all powers will accept limits and some push for three extra U S cruisers despite opposition. France leads foreign opposition while Britain may accept in principle but resists reducing cruiser destroyer strength. Japan aligns with the United States and Italy remains undecided. Observers note two effects: boosted presidential prestige if arms limits satisfy peace and economy goals, and French resentment toward American policy. France insists arms in air land and sea form a single problem and opposes a separate naval pact.
