If that process should be follow followed - ed followed and the delegations of the Washington treaty signatories meeting at Geineva are successful in extending naval radio agree agreements - ments agreements to cruisers, destroyers, and submarines, President Coolidge feels that the disposition of this aspect of the armament problem would make it easier to deal with the other elements, particularly if naval armaments were considered as having a direct relation to the land and air armament question.
