Washington, October 16. The State Department has instructed Mr. Norman Dayis to carry on his informal discussions towards an agreement for future action most likely to serve the cause of peace, as the future of disarmament efforts is a most vital concern to the United States.
Meanwhile, the New York Herald Tribune criticises the State Department for drifting into a false and em barrassing position as the Versailles system is passing. The paper gives the opinion that the attitude America wishes to maintain, amidst new possibilities must be de- fined now to be effective.
