 Now that the situation has been brought to . head, there was specu- lauon today as to how Anglo Rus sian business relations would be con- tinued. It was agreed that while business probably would be suspend ed temporarily. it would be resumed on the basis of the trading arrange ments between the United States and Russia. Emphasis was placed on the fact that although there is no trade agreement between the Soviet government and the United States a large business is carried on between the two countries.

COOLIDGE ACTION
BATTLES LONDON
British Experts in Doubt as to
Why President Is Not
Running.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 3.--British official
circles gave almost as much attention
today to President Coolidges an
nouncement that he does not choose
to run In 1928 as they did to the
hurriedly convened cabinet meeting to
consider the Geneva naval conference
crisis.
The Presidents bald statement was
generally interpreted as having some
relation to the Geneva impasse, but
British officials with experience in
American affairs discounted the con-
nection. One official, who has had
considerable experience in the United
States, expressed the opinion that the
announcement was more the result of
the domestic situation than anything
that has happened at Geneva.
The Star, Liberal paper, editorially
remarks that the Presidents announce.
ment has bewildered the New York
experts and that consequently it is
not surprising that London finds it
very difficult to read the riddle of
this Yankee sphinx"
Virtues Seen as Blunlers.
ut seems" the paper continued,
that Americas Presidents fall be
cause of their virtues and not their
vices. Roosevelt. when he became the

son fell because he was not able to
| carry the country and the Senate with
him in his League of Nations scheme,
and now it looks as though Coolidge
has been knitted by the failure of
the Geneva conference.
We have no reason to doubt the
sincerity with which Coolidge took the
irit OF n of
ament. but the big Navy parties on
both sides Of the, Atlantic have been
too strong for him.
Conference Failure Cited.
"1n the United States. naval con-
tractors and advocates of a big navy
have played upon the American love
of bigness and it's national prestige.
and they have found suitab BILE subjects
for quotation and misrepresentation
in the naval experts here.
1T looks as though Geneva would
be a gigantic fiasco, and that it will
end in increasing instead of reducing
naval ornaments. Coolidge, it's in
yentor, cannot bear to have his name
go down in history associated with a
failure. Thus he declines in the fu-
ture to be President of the United
tragedy for the world"
The Westminster Gazette says: "In
view OF the fact that he was respon

term of office with an historic pact
