Disarmament Move Gains Tempo as U S Seeks Talks
Washington reports indicate formal responses to informal disarmament feelers have arrived from several nations. The administration signals gratifying progress toward a major international conference led by leaders at a high level, with Harding pushing for a broad, substantive reduction in armament.
