MACDONALD REPEATS
ARMS PARLEY STAND
Anxious for Further Steps Toward
Limitation of Great
Navies.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
LONDON, May Prime Minister
Macdonald reiterated in the House
of Commons today the statement
that he was anxious for further
steps to be taken for the limitation
of naval ornaments. but said he
could not add anything to the re-
marks he made in the House along
these lines on April 80.
The situation arose from a ques-
ton by Commander Kenworthy, liberal
member for Hull, asking If the pre-
mier would propose a conference
with the United States, France, Japan
and Great Britain as participants
for considering the limitation of
naval armamentS especially regard
ing cruisers and submarines, outside
the scope Of the Washington agree
ment
Mr.. Macdonald said he had observ-
ed that the United States Senate had
repeated a rider to the naval appro-
priation bill asking for such a con-
ference '"rhey have done IL not only
once, but twice, and l welcome it as
manifestation" he said. Asked to
give the House a chance of passing
a similar resolution, the premier
said he would be very glad to, and
perhaps a chance would be found in

sent decree in the New Haven merger
case. He asserted that Federal Judge
Mayer had been grossly imposes
upon by Mr.. Daugherty in allowing
the New Haven decree to be at first
modified and later vacated.
Daugherty turned the New Haven
loose on the Boston and Maine" by his
sent decree forbade the first-named
railroad from participating in the

Croker asserted that after modi-
fication of the New Haven decree
Mr.. Daug1herty also dismissed GRIM

the merger.
Paul Rowland. attorney for Mr.

that the indictments had been kept
pending for seven years before.
Daugherty took office without action
except for one trial on some of them,
which resulted in a jury disagree

Is Chief G. o. P. Weapon Against
Insurgent-Democrat Coalition.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

President Coolidge has let it be
known that certain bills pending in
CongreS do not meet with his ap-
proval, and the only inference that
now can be drawn is that he will
veto most of them.
The President sent for Senators
Lodge, Borah and Smoot today. He
talked over with them the whole
Legislative program and the question
of adjournment. The Democrats have
in the last twenty-four hours indi-
Gated a change of front-they no
longer feel that Congress should be
terminated before the political con-
ventions Their opportunities for at
tack and publicity and continued in
veStigation would be hampered, they
feel, by falling in line with the Re
publican plan of adjournment Also
there are too many bills in which the
inSurgent Republicans and Democrats
have united interest and which
the regular Republicans would like
to lose in the shuttle.
The President is plainly diSSatiS-
fled with the tax bill in its present
shape He hopes for a change in
conference and will not announce an
intention to veto the bill in advance
of conSid Grafton of it's merits after
1t comes to him But so many of the
features Of the bill are obnoxious to
business, particularly that which
makes income tax returns open to
public inspection, that a veto is rap
idly becoming probable. When word
however, reaches the Senate that the
tacking on of miSchievous provisions
may bring a veto, the chances are
they will be eliminated, as the Sem
ate, collectively or individually,
would not take the responsibility for
defeating tax revision.
Will Veto immigration Bill.
Mr.: Coolidge is going to veto the
immigration bill if it comes to him
in its present form. The Japanese
themselves do not object to the prin-
ctple of exclusion, for they are be-
ginning to recognize that it is an
economic question in the United
states, and that every nation has a
right to exclude labor likely to be
competitive with it's own. But the
Japanese insist that the method of
accomplishing exclusion is an offense
TO them. Secretary Hughes fayors
agreement by treaty. So does the
President
Mr.. Coolidge is trying to secure
modification. If he fails he will he
compelled to veto the measure and
ask for the insertion Of a clause de-
laying the enforcement of the act so
far as the Japanese are concerned
until year or more has been given
for negotiation and ratification of
special treaty with Japan.
Mr.. Coolidge'S conferences with
Senate leaders to point out the perils
OF the legislative situation have be-
gun none too soon. The Republican
leadership has lost control of the
Senate, and the exercise of the veto
power alone will, at this time, affect
the inSurgent Republican alliance
with the Democrats on specific issues.

message setting forth the issues of
The day without attempt at Cratory,

in Interpreting what he meant. There
were no involved sentences or quail
tying clauses in that message. Burton
declared.
Representative Burton took up the

declared, Il most decidedly condemn
The statement that we are to blame
for not joining the league Of nations.
What is desired over there is not that
we act as a paci' ---s influence, but
that we NeSH11~ AIl ally" Representa-.
tive Burton said that the United
States was not willing to release the
$40, 100000 foreign debts because
the loans were obtained not from the
Treasury, as the government institu-
tion, but from campaigns among the
American people, and because the
cancellation of such debts would de-
stroy confidence in all international
financial transactions.
He also pointed out that the United
States public debt had increased from
1000. 100000 to $25,O0O,000, 900, large
ly because of loans to foreign gov
ernments. This, he pointed out, was
greater in proportion than that of
foreign countries. He also pointed
out that there was no guarantee that
Europe, upon the cancellation of
debts, would not increase its naval ac-
tIv1ty.
