HOPE OF NAVY CUT
SPURRED BY CECIL
Division of Opinion Abroad to
Stimulate Washington in
Reduction Effort.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Renewed hope has developed here
that the movement for a reduction OF
naval armament may yet succeed.
The frank statement by NisCount Cecil
that he was out of sympathy with the
British government instructions to
him at Geneva, which he now has
made the occasion for resignation, has
produced favorable reaction here.
Many of those who knew Viscount
Cecil and his intimate understanding
OF the American viewpoint, gained on
visits to America and contact with
American diplomats at Paris, were
surprised at some of the speeches he
was obliged to make at the recent
armament conference. 1t didn't sound
like Niscount Cecil, the man who
helped to found the League of Ma
tons and one of the stanchest defend.
ers of Americas postwar policy.
Future Opportunity Seen.
If. therefore. one of the principal
delegates to the armament conference
from the nation which was unable to
accept Americas proposals now comes
out with a criticism Of the British
governments policy. the opportunity
for the discussion to be renewed at
some future date is expected to arise.
What puzzled American observers
was that Britain should exhibit in 1927
an attitude toward the problem of
limiting ornaments so different from
that manifested here in 1921. If there
were possibilities of friction between
the United States and Britain, the
reason for continued competition
might be understood. but the Amer
lean Government sees no reason why
the two most powerful navies of the
world, which have outdistanced the
other countries, should be quarreling
about the size of vessels of any type.
The two navies together present the
most powerful combination of anna
ment the world has yet known, and
in the recent war they co.operated as
unit.
Manly and Sportsmanlike.
Viscount Cecil's statement that
Britain could have met the American
position at Geneva without sacrificing
British interests is regarded here as
a manly and sportsmanlike declara-
ton, which will go far toward aiding
public opinion to understand the
causes of the breakdown.
The fact that there is division Of
opinion abroad on the armament prob
lem will stimulate the American Gov.
eminent to keep up the debate in the
hope that through diplomatic channels
some fundamental agreement may yet
be reached which will make 1t possible
to apply treaty among Britain, the
United States and Japan.
Certainly when Congress meets and
the demand for a. larger Navy arises
to keep pace with Britain, the Presi-
dent will find it necessary to hold at
bay the big Navy demands, while he
tries again to economic on American
expenditure by getting an agreement
to limit naval construction.

ATTORNEY REGRETS
CONTEMPT FOR BAR
Chicago Practitioner Com
ments on Loss of Prestige
by Lawyers.


BUFFALO, n. Y, August 30.-A
machine age" has usurped the for
mer individualism and authority of
the American bar. Nathan William
MacChesney, Chicago attorney, today
told the conference Of bar association
delegates, of which he Is chairman.
THE bar has always been composed
OF men of strong Municipalities" he
said. THE men in it have glorified
in their individuality. 1t is no longer
true.
THE time was when the executive,
hat in hand, humbly sought confer
ence with the distinguished lawyer
who acted as his counsel. Today the
same executive is quite as apt to
punch the bell and ask to have the
counsel step in. A lawyer friend of
mine, full.time counsel for a great cor
poration, crudely referred to himself
in public address one day az a kept
attorney no longer master of his own
destiny.
Ideal Position for Lawyer.
1.-THE ideal position for the lawyer
is to be able to tell his client with.
out embarrassment what he should
and ought to do, not to be in posi-
ton where he has to do what he is
told by the client what he wants
done"
Referring to the lack of observance
of the law by members of the bar, Mr..
MacChesney said that 1.-The Attorney
General of the United States, speak.
ing recently before the Pennsylvania
State Bar Association, deplored the
f1ippant and jeering attitude toward
the law on the part Of the public. He
said: You cannot constantly, day
after day, treat the antics Of the
opium user as a funny spectacle. the
smuggler as a hero and the officers
who undertake to prevent the SNUG
Cling as shoppers, smellers, and so on.
without creating in the minds of the
thoughtless the impression that Off
GERS of the law are shoppers and gum
shoe artists worthy only of opposi-
tion."
Courts Are Praised.
"The Nation should be able to look
to the bar for the maintenance of
order and the enforcement Of law. If
it cannot do so, it is rudderless ship
adrift in A storm"
The courts are better fulfilling their
purpose than any of the other branches
dealing with crime, Oscar Hallam of
st. Paul, Mimi, chairman of the crimi.
nal law section, declared at the annual
meeting of that group.
The greatest national shortcoming,
he said, is in detection and arrest, due
mostly to an inadequate number Of
police.
Blame for publication of articles re.
garding shocking CRIMES, scandalous
divorces and other morbid cases" rests
only partly with the newspapers and
too often bears the earmarks OF
having been instigated by lawyers"
Andrew r. Sheriff, chairman of the
committee of cooperation between the
press and the bar. asserted in a re.
port of his committee.
Each profession is too often judged
in the eyes of the public by its poorest
rather than by its best members" he
said.
1T is taken for granted" he added,
that all thoughtful judges, lawyers
and journalists now recognize the de-
structive effect Of sensational public.
