IS. OP) -The principul powers linve been ap proached by the United States on the subject of a new arms conference. Thus far tJie discussions have not yet reached the advanced point char acterized by diplomatists as "formal negotiations'' but they have been fed up quietly and persistently in all the principal capitals of the world. Officiala here will not discuss what obstacle may have been encountered, or what measure of success uMy ap pear to be held out by the exchanges up to the present. Announcement Mada. , Tbc state department, after being advised that an announcement of tie move had been mnde by Foreign Se? retary Chamberlain in the house of commons in London revealed thai similar conversations had taken place in Paris, Tokio and other capitals but would not comment further. The "feelers" that have been pu. out by Washington were intended 'o develop whether there has been any chnnc.0 in Uie attitude of foreign coun tries who blocked at the time of thi Washington arms conference, the lim itation of any class of Innd or sen armament, except capital ships. Agreement Sought. It is the first desire of President Coolidge to secure an agreement which will end competition in auti liary naval craft. If something can be done too to limit land armament, auc'.i a step would he welcome here; but the Washington government ia inclin ed to regard tint problem as an Ku ropenn nitration. It was emphasize I todny at the White House that the information discussed now In pro gress do not mean a departure from the policy announced long ago by Mr. Coolidge. He told congress last De cember he would call a conference if an opportune moment presented .'I aelf, but at that time he preferred to await the outcome of the conference project launched by the league of ni tiona. All recent indications from Europe an capitals have been that the move contemplated by (ieneva has dim inishing chances of success and non faces a possibility of p.'Stponeine a until September at least. In.lhise circumstances, Amcricjii diplomatic representatives have asked in on informal way for an eipressi j.i of view. ,11 was declared at the White House that it wmild be in.-orrect to sny that the conversation! have been any more definite or had gone any further.
