IN MIDW EST
Elevation and Cool Climate
Will Be Prerequisite of
Any Selection Made

Washington, March 8.-CP)-Pres-
ident Coolidge will set up his sum-
mer White House this year in the
west.
He has not selected the place, but
his choice promises to fall some
where between the AlleRhanies and
the Rocky Mountains. not too far
from Washington and not too far
south, probably in state whose
dominating industry is agriculture.
His decision to turn his back tenn
porarily on his native New England
hills and fishing grounds and seek a
vacation respite in the farm country,
accords both with personal prefer
ence and with the opinions Of his
closest advisers.
Particularly since he came to q
parting of the ways with the farm
bloc in congress, and wrote veto
at the end of the persistent career
of the McNary- Haugen farm bill, ad-
ministration senator's and others
high in presidential councils have
gone to the White House in increas-
ing numbers to urge their chief to
take some personal, first hand obser-
vations in the agricultural west.
He does not want to spend the
summer too far away from WASH
ington. but he feels the west would
provide, better than any other part
Of the country, the elevation and cool
climate which he intends to make .

make.

ENGLAND AND
JAPAN ASKED
T0TAKEPART
France and Italy May Be
Asked to Send Representa-.
tives as Observers
REPLIES ARE AWAITED
Coolidge Believes Advices Re.
ceived So Far Indicate
Success OF Plan

Washington, March 8.-C4y.. The Uni
ted States has definitely proposed to
Great Britain and japan three
power naval limitation conference 10
meet in Geneva not earlier than
June I.
In the event Of acceptance by the
London and Tokyo governments.
which have not a. yet replied, France
and Italy probably will be asked to
send representatives to the confer
ence as observers.
The new invitation Is under TODD
to contain no definite formula for
fixing maximum tonnage limitations
upon cruisers. destroyers and SUBJ
marines. The purpose Of the con-
ference at Geneva will be to explore
the. possibilities Of arriving at an
understanding for these maximum
tonnage limitations which could be ac-
cepted; particularly by Great Britain
as a. European power, and in view
Of the non participation Of France
and Italy in the agreement.
The Washington government recog-
nizes that such limitations on con-
struction as Il hopes will be reached
must be subject to periodic review
by the three governments in the light
OF building programs In similar types
Of ships which may be undertaken
by any third government not q party
to the agreement.
It Is believed in Washington, how
ever. that n satisfactory arrangemen
for reconsidering the maximum ton
mage limitations in any class Of
auxiliary ships annually, II neces-
sary, can be worked out at Geneva.
To Consider Ratio QuestioA
The 5-b-3 ratio applied to first line
naval vessels Of the United States.
Great Britain and Japan, respectively
by the Washington arms treaty also
will be considered il the three power
conference plan is accepted.
The Japanese acceptance Of the ori-
ginal five~power plan indicated that
Japan might seek different ratio
for smaller craft Washington Off
cials do not believe. however. that
the ratio question will prove a rehl
stumbling block at Geneva.
The tentative plan for inviting
France an1 I.aly to have official oh.
servers at the three power conference
is in line with the desire of the Wash
ington government to emphasize that
it would have preferred a five-power
| discussion. and does not regard the
points made in the French and Italian
reflections as warranting refusal
to participate.
In any event. the Washington gov
ernment will be anxious that the con-
tinental powers are fully advised as
to all that transpires at the proposed
three e-power conference.
Confident Of Acceptance
There is no intimation when replies
from London and Tokyo may be ex-
pected. although officials here are
confident Of ultimate acceptance.
At the White House. it was disclos-
ed that President Coolidge regards
the tentative advices thus far re-
ceived from abroad as promising for
success Of the three-power plan.
The president believes the five
power plan would have been more
promising in practical results than
a three-power project could be, but
he is anxious to do the next best
thing if five-power meeting is i'm
possible.

Two more vetoes were added to

that any county having a population
OF more than 10000 must have a

have, and If a county having a popu-
iation 9.999 can get along with the
provisions Of the present law then a
county having a population Of 1O.OOl
should be able to get along. This is
just another instance where someone
thought there should be law. have
