Henderson assures no fixed terms for naval talks with France
London Dec 13 British foreign secretary Rt. Hon Arthur Henderson told the French ambassador that the understanding between Premier MacDonald and President Hoover on naval disarmament does not impose rigid plans for the five power conference in January. He said Britain would pursue negotiation and cooperation to limit armaments and hoped other delegations would join in seeking the greatest common measure of naval disarmament. He also stressed a historic shift toward friendship between England and France and a joint commitment to results over theory.
