Protracted Cabinet Mesting.
LONDON, July 3rd. Yesterday's Cabinet meeting was so protracted that most of the mem- bers were unable to attend the Royal garden party.
It was the third Cabinet meeting in the course of the week, in addition to several unofficial meet- ings of Ministers as regards the Geneva conference on Naval limits tion, which resumes dext week.
The most that can be said of the prospects of the conference is that the British delegation are most hopeful of a successful outcome, although the American attitude to the new plan evolved by the British and Japanese experts has not been made clear.
There has been much speculation, especially in France, that a revival of the British-Japanese Alliance is possible, but according to the Manchester Guardian "British off cial opinion is wholly unresponsive such an idea and Japanese opinion wholeheartedly agrees with
