S. D., June 18. rfAPJ- Surrounded by s projecting mountains , far from the seas, President Coolidge tod?y focused attention on the conference which will assemble Monday in Geneva to consider further limitations of naval armament. v The president expressed the hope that "our country and the other nations interested may re ceive great benefit from it," as he called attention to the conference in a brief talk to members of the National Editorial association as sembled on the lawn of the sum mer White House.

As the last of the long line filed past; the president stopped for a broader view of his gnests.
