REED CONDEMNS GREY
Says Former Ambassadors Letter
Was Improper.

Washington, Feb 6.-Criticism of
yiscount Grey's letter telling that
England was more worried over the
possibility of not getting the United
States into the League of Nations
than about the conditions named in
the Lodge reservation to the treaty
was called gross dip omatic i'm
property by Senator James A. Reed
of NJ ssouri, yesterday. Senator
Reed said:
81 criticize the action of Lord
Grey In spite of the fact that in this
instance he happened to be on the
same side as | am in this treaty
fight. He admits. as / have always
contended that the League covenant
was a surrender by the Uni ed States
to the other nations in the League.
l welcome that Admission from him.
But | cannot overlook the fact
that his act consti uted the grossest
impropriety of his privi eyes as an
ambassador to this country. He
should never again be permitted to
come TO the United States in any of-
fetal capaci y.
1t is simply an example. however.
of what will happen when England
gets us into this league England is
merely repeating what she tried to do
in the war between the States and Is
carrying out the programme of world
dominion which he League covenant
gives her"

the road between this village and
north Bennington open. Today auto
mobiles everywhere are having hard
time The snow is like coarse meal
and furnishes no traction for the
rear wheels.
An ordinary snow storm hese days
does not seriously interfere with the
operation OF the telephone system
where the construction is up to date
At the loca' exchange no more
trouble was reported than would
have been the case had there been nc
storm.
Previous to the storm JUS. over the
roads to North Bennington, Pownal
Center and Hoosick Falls were open
to motor car travel. AS the storm pro-
gressed 1t was evident that all hese
roads would be closed so far as au
tome bi es are concerned.
At The Benn ngton Garage the ques-
tion arose of what the effect would be
of keeping cars cons ant'y running
until the storm abated. 1t was de
termined to attempt to keep the road
open to North Bennington by this
me hod. The white wheeled Essex
and an Essex Roadster were set run
ming yesterday afternoon and kept at
/ 1t until late hour last evening when
/ the crusting over Of the snow stopped
the drifting. Before this when re-
turning from North Bennington the
track made going over it many places
could net be seen but finally the
crusting over of the snow stopped the
drifting and the Essex cars were put
up for he night.
This morning the same two Essex
cars were the first cars over the road
and found that the sleet that fell of
ter they quit last night and fl ed in
the tracks and made hard going
again. They reached North Benning-
ton without any shoveling and return.
ing was much easier.
Later today an experiment is to be
made ith a sort of plow attached
to the running board of one of the
cars in an a tempt to widen the path
slightly. 1t seems that such pro
cess as this carrie ed out during each
storm would have kept the roads
open in every direction during a
winter W tn nc more snow than we
have had this winter Team work on
the par. of the motorists or garages
in a few towns would almost certain
ly overcome the winter blockades
All that is necessary in this country
IS to get out when a storm starts and
keep at 1t through the storm.
