lantic telephone conversation be-

a matter of routine today. although
for the present It is more or less of
a luxury on account of the high Toll
charges-$25 a minute.
New Workers have the sole privi-
lege of chatting with London for the
time being. It was explained at the
offices of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company that it Is
impossible for a person living outside
of the Metropolitan district to get
direct connection with London
through linking up of telephones.
In spite of the high cost, the over

But il President Coolidge is to
inspire respect for his position,
not only among the little nations

among the large and powerful

to support his declaration.
He cannot afford to issue an

President COOlidge's opposition

He must understand that there
