Washington. Aug. 1 Up - Sena-
tor Hefin of Alabama, who is a re-
ceptive candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination. declared
yesterday that on tour of ten
states, including some in the Mid
die West he found democrats prac-
tically unanimous against the ambi-
tons of Governor Smith of New
York.
Democrats of New York. he said
had told him that while Mr., Smith
could be elected governor through
a deal" with republicans the
deal would be off If he sought the
presidency and New York would go
republican by million or more"
Everywhere on his tour. Mr.
Heflin said, he found NEARLY all"

lance and necessity" Of preventing
Governor Smiths nomination.

Gratis spoke with interest and with
favor of Goevrnor Donahey OF Ohio,

wouldn't be surprised to see him
nominated
Il have not found so far any
where any concerted effort to NOM

didate for president, but everywhere
I found nearly all of the democrats
of one mind on the importance and
necessity Of preventing Governor
Smith from getting the democratic
nomination.

cile 1.-THE conception of absolute

Further" he said. I'VE have not

ditures the British government con-
sders a considerable program of

even vital necessity"

Britain's Position.
THE immediate and obvious re-
suit Of acquiescing in these British
proposals." he maintained, would
have been that the British empire
would have been able to build ex-
actly what is desired and that We,
on the other hand, would be re-
strained from building what we con-
sidered we might need, and yet the
tonnage levels insisted on by the
British empire would result in a
substantial increase even over pres
emf strength"
Ambassador Gibson also took ex-
ception to the effort of the British
delegation to classify 10000 ton
ships armed with S-inch guns as
Offensive vessels" while the 1000
ton cruisers with six inch guns were
termed defensive cruisers" The
Washington treaty, which establish
cd the 10000 ton cruiser and the s.
inch gun, recognized no such dis
tinction, he said, nor did the United
States commence construction of
ships of that size. Mr.. Gibson en-
phasized the statement that the
British empire has already five
10000 ships practically completed,
six more under construction and
four ships OF $3.50 tons already in
commission while the United States

the act authorizing these American
cruisers aslo authorized the presi-
dent to suspend all or any part OF

that action.
I'VE cannot follow the reasoning
which attributes to six inch gun
cruisers a purely defensive role"
Ambassador Gibson said.

| nation for the right to maitain in
time of peace a cruiser strength
sufficient to afford complete security
to its commerce in case Of war rem
ders impossible any effective naval
limitations by international agree
ment."
The ambassador recalled that the
| British delegates to the Washington
conference had looked upon a total
tonnage of 100000 for surface aux
iliary craft "as an acceptable and
reasonable figure" while at Geneva
a British program had been pre-
scented calling for $4,000 tons in
such ships.
What has brought about this
change on the part Of the British
government" Mr.. Gibson asked.
What new factor in world affairs
has appeared upon the hol .zon
which has caused them apprehen-
sion ?"
"One OF the mightiest fleets on
the high seas, that Of Germany, has
disappeared. So far as we know. no
other great maritime nation has en-
parked on a program which could
conceivably be considered a menace
to the British Empire. Other than
the powers here represented there
are in entire world but five navies
possessing modern cruiser OF effec-
tive combat value. The strongest Of
these has approximately $4,000 tons
and the total effective tonnage OF all
five combined Is now less than 2O0,-
600 tons"
Mr.. Gibson said the American
delegation could not admit the JUS
tice of the British claim that the
British proposal made for economy

while the American made for large

American program obviously would
permit drastic naval economies
while the British proposals would
largely increase such expenditures
and impose. we believe. an unneces.

of the American proposals that each
