RESERVE TRAILS
PARLEY COLLAPSE
Creation Of Special Reserve
Thought Significant

Washington. Aug. UP) -
Echoes of the Geneva arms confer
ence failure. official. unofficial and
semi-official. continued here today.
The navy department announced
details of its plans for creation of a
naval reserve on private American
merchant vessels. whereby crews will
be trained in naval mancuyers SO
they can man armed merchant ves-
sells. This was considered signif-
cant. coming SO closely after the
Geneva collapse.
The Army and Navy Journal de-
clared in an editorial that the Unit
ed States did not intend to traverse
the seas "only with the consent of
Great Britain"
The Peoples Reconstruction
league, on the other hand, limited in
a statement that large American
corporations had helped to make the
conference failure, asking shall
profiteers force another war"
While the naval reserve movement
was authorized at the last congress,
no funds were appropriated. and the
announcement of plans now Is linked
up with the effort of Great Britain in
the conference to fix six-inch mini
mum limit on guns, which was in
terpreted as indicating her intention
to equip merchant vessels with six:
inch guns. The United States sought
limit of eight inch guns, which
are too heavy for merchant ships.
The department has instructed
naval district commandants to con-
| fer with owners and operators OF
American vessels to obtain their CO.
operation in organizing the new
service. An effort will be made to
establish it first on vessels operat-
ing from New York and San Fran
cisco. Masters of crews will receive
course of instructions on naval
tactics for their crews.
Boiled down to essentials" the
Army and Navy Journal editorial
said Great Britain has served no.
tce she will never surrender the SUI
premacy of the seas and that she
will not permit equality. We call
on the nation to direct congress to
provide a navy which will make the
United States dominant afioat as it
would have been but for the Wash
ington conference"
The Peoples Reconstruction league
said the public announcement of
the proposed cooperation of the
Dupont interests. United States Steel
and General Motors followed the
evident failure of the disarmament
conference"
"They have highly profitable
community of interest in naval
competition and in wars to follow"
said the league.

anxiety centered around the Difficult

gave his impressions of the investi-

Judge Grant is manifestly hostile"
He urged his family to be calm,
strong and hopeful.
