HARDING EXPECTS ARMS LIMITATION CONFERENCE TO BEGIN ON NOV 11
Washington, D.C. (JFK+50) On July 29, 1921, President Warren G. Harding informed visitors to the Executive Mansion here in the Nation's Capital that he is still expecting the arms limitation conference to begin on November 11th of this year.
The President's remarks came after the British, Japanese and French made appeals for the conference to be delayed until spring of next year.
Carter Field writes that Mr. Harding believes the financial savings which would come for all countries involved in arms limitation "would make his administration stand out in history as one during which the greatest step toward making wars unlikely was accomplished."
