MORROW TAKES
UP HIS DUTIES
in MEXICO CITY
Mexican Circles Feel Opti-
mistic Of Settlement of
Questions.

MEXICO CITY. Oct. "a tR)-Dwight
w. Morrow, the newly appointed
American ambassador to Mexico,
spent the first day at his new post
quietly, familiarizing himself with
embassy affairs, comforting with
members of the embassy staff and
meeting some of the many callers, for
the most part members of the Amer
lean colony eager to make his ac-
quaintance.
The embassy today sent a note to
the foreign office asking a date be
fixed for the formal visit Of Mr..
Morrow to Senior Estrada, foreign
secretary. This will be probably
within a few days, after which an
appointment will be made Tor the
president of the republic to receive
the ambassador.
The tone OF the informal comment
in Mexican circles generally, includ-
ing those close to. the government.
is founded on the belief with which
MexicanS seem thoroughly imbueo
that Mr.. Morrow fhas come IN the
friendliest spirit, and consequently
that there is distinct justi1icatlon for
hopes of an adjustment of questions
which have arisen between the two
countries and an era of more friendly
relations.

GEORGE
PREDICTS " A R
OR PROTECTION
Asserts Unless Nations
seek Justice Terrible
Conflict Looms.

LONDON, oct. "a, R-The ex-
istence of great ornaments always
will thwart the league of nations,
former Premier Lloyd George de-
clared tonight in a speech on dis
armament.
"The present size of ornaments
in Europe he said, '.is a breach
of faith on the part of the nations
who entered the war largely to up
hold the sancity of treaties.
Lloyd George was the chief speak
er at a meeting arranged by the
League of Nations union. The vast
crowds were far beyond the capa-
city of Queens hall, nd an over
flow meeting accordingly was held
in Philharmonic hall.
"Are there any dangers which
threaten the peace of Europe?" the
magnetic little Welshman asked.
Eyes, many. The continental news
papers ring with disputes and out
standing differences Hence the
growing zeal for arbitration, which
led to such remarkable demno-
stration by the smaller ntionS at the
recent assembly Of the league. They
are genuinely frightened by the
snarling sounds which disturb the
nerves of Europe"
Lloyd George pointed out that
when peace was framed in 1919, it
was recognized that adjustments
would be required later.
"That settlement he continued
cleft some ragged ends, which, un-
less smoothed out, are bound to
irritate and inflame the canker. The
Lea -; of Nations alone can straight
en- out the situation.
"The present size of armaments
in Europe is a gross breach OF faith
on the part of the nations who en-
tered the war to uphold the san
City Of treaties. Moreover, we have
always the Balkns to reckon with
as source of permanent anxiety.
Turning his attention to Russia, the
wartime British leader warned thai
| when that huge country emerge'
from her internal entanglements
she will be the most redoubtaDl'
country on earth"
He urged the Importance OF bring
ing Russia back to the fraternity o.
