GIBSON SPEECH CITED HERE.
Held by Officials to Have Clarified
..- Farley Issues.


BY the Associated Press.
The address of Ambassador Gibson
at the Geneva naval conference should
dispel the idea that the United States
created the 10, 0O0.ton cruiser type for
it's own purposes. in the opinion of
Washington officials.
Resenting the implication that this
type was evolved at the insistence OF
the United States, the Washington
Government feels Mr.. Gibson has clar'
flied this viewpoint by his statement
showing the Washington conference
had adopted this tonnage for maxi
mum size in this class without contro-
versy. The officials here pointed out
that, while the American Navy had
no equivalent ship. the British In
1919, two years before the Washington
parley, had four cruisers Of $3.50 tons
each, and this led to the adoption OF
the 10000 maximum tonnage type.
Another point of disproving a mo-
tive on the part of America to create
this type for its own needs was cited
in the fact THAI the United States
will have no such vessel in commits
sion until 1929, having started to build
four of these cruisers only in 1926.
Since the Washington conference the
information reaching officials here
shows that Great Britain has built 10
vessels of this class.
The British delegation is practically
alone on the maximum tonnage cruiser
question. 1t is believed here, by Mr..
Gibson stressing the similarity of the
viewpoints Of the American and Japa-
nese delegations. However, the off.
Gals here believe the frank views Of
the head of the American delegation
will tend to bring q more reasonable
basis Of discussion to the conference
and will react favorably upon British
opinion. The officials are understood
not to view with merit the suggestion
to postpone the conference. and are
hopeful that complete understanding
for the negotiations will be attained.

a bullet in his brain. was reported
today to be so favorable as to make
his recovery probable. Part Of the
bullet was removed. The operation
was performed at Casualty Hospital

Dement, was shot several weeks
ago while being pursued by police
and revenue agents. After he was
shot, his automobile struck the
porch of a home in the Southeast
section Of the city, tearing a part
OF it away.
When taken to the hospital It
was not thought possible for him
to live. II he survives this opera

may be another to remove the re.

section of the brain, thought to be
affected.
When shot Dement, was being
chased by Sergeant Little and Pc.
