(fy Associale Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct 7.-
The formal invitation from the
British Government for the United
States to participate at a Naval
Limitation conference in London
during the third week in January
was received today by the State
Dapartment.
Shortly after it arrived by cable
from Ambassador Dawes, to whom
a copy was handed tonight by the
British Foreign Office, Secretary
Stimson went to the White House
for a comparatively brief confer-,.
eice with the President, but
whether the parley was a subject
of discussion was not disclosed.
Mr. Hoover and Prime Minister
MacDonald went over a final draft
copy at the President's camp ii
Virginia Saturday and the text was
sent back to London. The formal
invitation to the United States,
Japan, France, and Italy then were
put into form for forwarding to
the ambassadors of those coun-
tries.I
While the invitation will not be
made public until Wednesday, it
was the understanding here that it
explains the situation arising fromk
a negotiation for equality in cruis-
er strength which has been goingI
on between the American and Brit-x
ish governments for several
months.
Acceptance by the United Statest
and Japan is regarded as a cer-
tainty. The Japanese willhave -
more than three months notice. Of-
ficials in Tokyo indicated they de-
sired before the gathering of the
delegates at the British capital to
discuss not only limitations oft
cruisers, submarines and destroy-
ers, but also a further holiday in
the construction of capital ships.
The American proposal is that this
holiday extend from 1931 to 1936,
the time fornthe expiration of the
Washington Naval Limitation trea-
ty..
PREMIER CLAIMS 1
PACT WILL HALTt
WARS IN FUTURE
(By Associated 't'ress> 1
Washington, D. C. Oct. 7--Prime
Minister Ramsey McDonald inter-e
rupted his conferences with Pres-
ident Hoover today to tell the Con-
gress of the United States that1
there would be no war between the 1
two great English-speaking nations
if each did its duty in making ef-
fective the Kellogg-Briand treaty
renouncing war.
"There can be no war," the Brit-
ish Statesman said. "Nay, more, it
is absolutely impossible, if you and
we do our duty in making the peace
pact effective, that any section of
our arms whether land, or sea, or
air, can never again come into hos-
tile conflict."
Asserting amaid applause that
the problem of jealousy and of fear
have disappeared the Prime Min-
ister declared the American andE
British government have met to-
gether and said: "What is all this
bother about parity?"
"parity?" He questioned sharply.
"Take it! He explained, "without'
reserve, heaped up and flowing
over. That is one of the results of 1
this visit. Another result of the
visit is that we have come to under-
stand each other." "Ah, Senators!"
the prime Minister continued "as
long as you conduct your negoti-
ations by correspondence over
thousands of miles of sea, you will
never understand each other at all.
