UNWILLING TO SIGN.
Washington, Saturday. Official circles believe that the United States will accept the Bri- lish invitation to be represented on the committee which will draft the final form of the British, French and Italian naval agree- ment, as it is not considered that it is of direct concern to America. -Reuter's American Service.
[An earlier cable refer- Fring to the altitude of the United States in regard to the Naval Treaty, stated: - The Secretary of State, Mr. II. L. Stimson, has given an official in- timation to the effect that the United States may not sign the British, French and Italian Naval Treaty.
Mr. Stimson declares that he sees no reason for the signature of the United States, as the agreement is not of direct con- cern to America.]
