Mexican oil shares on the New York

Mr. Keller. the proprietor, and en-
ployees. Two automobiles in the yard

yards from Shinnecock Bay. Later
the Shinnecock Canal was built of the
little stream that ran past the inn.

was stopping place for persons
driving down Long Island and was
noted for its food. 1t was first a
two story structure and in later

WASHINGTON, d. c., July >.
tCopyright. l92D For several weeks
the Washington correspondents have
been asking President Harding and
Secretary Hughes FOR informal on
concerning disarmament What, they
have inquired Is st 7ding in the way?
To all has been given the same
answer polite disinclinat.on to dis
cuss the matter ia any form beyond
the general statement that informal
fec.' had been sent out TO learn the
attitude OF other powers.
Now, however, George Harvey.
American Ambassador to Great Britain
and President Hardins's personal and
official representative on the Supreme
Council, has at last lifted the veil Of
secrecy and confirmed what has been
suspected. but never officially ad-
m!ttCd, namely. that our relations
with Japan constituted the chief OBJ
staClc to immediate disarmament.
Here ar" the words IN Col. Harvey's
July speech at London, which
convey more significance than any
other utteranco on the subject made
by spokesmen of the Administration:
For the first time in history the
turbulent Atlantic has become as a
mill pond particularly eliminated
from considerations OF danger SO far
as naval warfare is concerned. There
Is ground for good hope, however,
/. that whatever apprehensions exist OF
perilous possibilities on the Pacific
may be dispelled sooner than is com
monty anticipated. When, if at all
that splendid consummation shall bo
obtained in response to the apparent
" universal desire, disarmament Will
follow naturally and inevitably, and
peace on earth will be assured tOI
years at least and it may be forever
rs this glorious aspiration too
much to expect? Why should it be?
Obstacles many and grave there are

can they be but barriers surmount-
able by a concert OF purpose on the
part of all the nations directly con-
cerned and no less directly responsi-

the fact that the naval power OF the
United States was practically use
