Colonel Lindbergh's statement was
in writing and was handed TO news

just before he stepped into ali army
pursuit plane to fly to Mitchell field,
Long Island. 1t follows:
Before entering into the conferences
with his associates in the proposed air
venture, Colonel Lindbergh called at
the state department to formally ac-
cept an invitation to fly to Ottawa on
July to participate in the diamond
jubilee there of the organization OF
the Canadian federation.
The invitation was extended by the
Canadian government through its min
iSter here and the state department,
and its acceptance was announced by
Secretary Kellogg after a meeting with
the flier and Hume Wrong, the Cam

Before departing for New York,
Lindbergh also conferred with POST
master General New, Assistlrt POST
masters General Bartlett, Glover and
Regar. They discussed commercial air
development generally and mail carry
ing particularly.
There was suggestion that con-
tracts for transporting air mail be let
without advertising for bids just as are

made now, but attention was called
that this could be made possible only
by an amendment of the existing law.

Lord Cecil Is Insistent
Upon Reducing Size of
Battleships

GENEVA, Switzerland, June "a (P
The possibility that the American
government and people may soon have
to decide whether they wish to
negotiate perpetual peace pact with
Japan is now looming as an out
growth of the tripartite naval con-
ference at Geneva.
The Japanese delegates to the con-
ference deny that they have made
any overtures on this subject and
Hugh S. Gibson, head of the Amer
ican delegation, has made a similar
denial but the impression nevertheless
prevails in authoritative circles that
Admiral Viscount Saito, head of the
Japanese delegation and "a close
counsellor Of the emperor, may Sug-
gest some sort of treaty outlawing
war between Japan and the United
States to supplement the four power
Pacific pact which was created at
the Washington conference as a sub
stitute for the Anglo-J Japanese alli-
ance.
It is believed that before making
any overtures officially, the japanese
would want to receive some assurance
that such overtures would have a
reasonable chance of meeting favor
able consideration. In this cOnnec-
ton it is felt not unlikely that the
conclusion of such pact, perhaps
along the lines of the suggested
Franco-Americar treaty, might in
fluence Japans attitude in her de-
mand for higher percentage in
auxiliary warsllips than the 5-5-3
ratio established at Washington for
capital ships.
Meanwhile todays outstanding de-
velopment in the conversations now
going on concerning the proposals
for naval limitation put forward by
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan, was what looked like con-
siderable weakening in the British
attitude of insisting upon reconsider
alton Of matters pertaining to the
washington treaty such as further
reduction in the size of battleships
The immediate cause of this ap-
parent change Of front was an
official notification made to the
British delegation both by the Amer
lean and Japanese delegations that
they have no authority to discuss
at Geneva decisions which were part
OF the washington accord.
Both delegations agreed after earn
est representations by the British
to cable washington and Tokyo ask

PRESIDENT IS

PARLEY
Coolidge Believes Nations
Sincere In Disarmament
Conference
KEEN INTEREST
No Commitment Made AS
Yet AS to Special Session
Of Congress

RAPID CITY, S. o., June "a &C.
Proposals made by Great Britain
Japan asld the United States at
the opening of the Geneva naval
armament conference disclose, i'll the
opinion of President Coolidge that
the three nations entered the meet
ing with q sincere desire to further
limit naval war craft
It was said at the Summer White
house that Mr. Coolidge is watching
and that lie considers it commenced
under auspicious circumstances.
While the conference is in prog
ress, however, the president desires
to maintain silence as to details OF
the Geneva transactions because, it
was said, he has found that some
times his informal expressions have
carried an erroneous impression when
made known abroad.
The visit here Of Representative
Tilson Of Connecticut. republican
house leader, has left the situation
regarding a special session OF con-
gress unchanged Until there is a
formal indication from the White
House that, q special session is un-
der consideration, Mr. Coolidge was
Represented as believing it safe to
say that none would be called.
Mr.. Coolidge adheres to the re-
cent White House statement in
Washington that he has made no
commitment. Other than the gen.
eral recommendations for a iudicious
tax reduction which he made in his
budget address, the president i1a-
tends to leave this legislation to the
house ways and means committee.
He believes the question to be
peculiarly the province OF that conl-
,nittee and understands that it is
already working on surveys to see
what can be done.
The president expects numerous
visitors at the summer White House
but whether Ambassador Herrick
who is returning frQn France in
tends toe ONE here is undetermined
Mr. Coolidge believes it entirely I'M
probable that the ambassador is
carrying a document containing a
suggestion from the French govern
ynent as to procedure tor d meeting
TO discuss treaty with this country
to outlaw war.
The last development in such a
treaty was Secretary Kellogg's note
to the Paris government asking fop
suggestions son procedure but ii the

dent feels it would be done between

speed to win a place on the team

he is out to win a place on Lawson

Cumming began the outdoor season
