Washington, Dec P-The house will be called upon in the next Jew days to determine whether ..esatioa of tn, large guns on Amer can hattleshlpS would be Tn keep ms with the spirit Of the Washing Ion arms limitation treaty.
 Because ot the far reaching effect he decision might have on other gnatory nations, the house appro- Jria,ions committee has refused 10 ,ke the responsibility upon itself md has passed the question along 10 it's parent body,
 In reporting the first deficiency 3,ll to the new congress yesterday tle committee eliminated a budget recommendation Of S940,u0p lor gle ration of the big turret guns on the eqttloships Oklahoma and Nevada, >aying that by SO doing the "oppor- unity will be thus presented to the louse for clean-cut determination or the specific question Of gun ele- .ation."
 Tn view of the fact that an ap- propriation Of $6.5o0,o0o was made H 1923 for increasing the range Of .r.rret guns Of l3 battleships and repealed in 1924 and in view of the .rriher fact that there is doubt in -he minds of many as 10 our rights ta elevate these guns under the rms of thc treaty" the report hy chairman Madden said the com .rtce has eliminated the sum Of sato.n00."

New York. Dee, UP) -- Ed torial comment on President Cool i4e,'s message tp congress refl"cteI a general acceptance Of his views ou' failed to nnd mIch that Was a,W or proEoc1tiN" in Y.
 Excerpts from he comment fol- low:
 New York World-The presi- dents n. sage Is the utterance O a man who always knows mucn more definitely what he does not want to do than what he does want Q do.
 New York Suu-The message is one ot the most readable documents written by president of this gen rrarion. Here and there is found a certain pleasing bluntneSs. tn" spirit of which is reminiscent of Grover Cleveland. but the express sion Of which is entirely Calvin Coolidgr's. It is an excellent mes sage.
 New York Times-The tone of the message is what we have been led to expect Of Mr. Coolidge, and what the country has repeatedly approved - cautious. conservative prudent. 1msensational The old saying might be revised 70 read that the nation is happy whose presidential messages are uneXcif- ing.
 New York TeIegram-On the whole the message was well calcu- lated to appeal to right-thinking people, far removed from the prob lems discussed.
 . New York Herald -Trihune-One thing stands out especially. That is the presidents reaction 10 the naval armament limitation conference at Geneva. H. hatly repudiates the in situation that the conference was not properly prepared for. Wd should build cruisers, he says. to suit our own needs without paying attention to outside propaganda or influence That is the natural Amer ican rejoinder to the breakdown at Geneva.
 Philadelphia Enquirer-While i'm portant as a definition of the atti- tude and policy of the administra- ton, President Coolidgc's message 70 congress contains little that is new.
 Baltimore Sun-You will have no l {,, ti,.l message of Mir Coolidge to con- eress whatever you wish to find Mr. Coolidge h9s idoalistic words 10 say that undoubtedly are sincere. but also are undoubtedly vague,
 Hartford Times: In President Coolidge's long address 10 congress there is little to prov oke new con troversy, but much of public in tercst and to commend. With his plea for continued constructive economy" the entire nation is in hearty accord.
 Richmond Times Dispatch-Mr s Coolidge's message is open to de , bate on many points; it is open tt harsh, bitter criticism on few | points
 Louisville Courier Journal---It ', just another message scheduled, ac- cording to custom, for the opening of congress; just another message with no particularly outstanding feature, and saying just about what was expected by those who have followed Mir. Coolidee's career us president
