FESS REPR|MAND
ROCKS POLITICIANS
Many Hold Incident Proves
President Is Definitely
Out in 1928.

The reprimand which Senator Fess
of Ohio so unexpectedly received at
the hands of President Coolidge yes
terday. because of his persistent put
ting forward of the idea of drafting
the President for another term, was
the principal topic of discussion
among callers at the White House to-
day, as well as in political circles
here.
Judging from the interest mani
tested in this episode, nothing since
the Presidents announcement in the
Black Hills that he did not choose to
be a candidate has so awakened politi-
cal thought. Although the Presidents
action regarding his close friend and
Senate champion is being interpreted
in many ways. the consensus among
.pali tinians Is that the incident should
Serve to convince those who have any
doubts about the Presidents inten-
tions that there is not the faintest
hope for his changing his mind or
of his accepting his party's nomina-

solicited and by acclamation.
Diseourages Callers.
Tt is the opinion of some that the
Presidents action Will serve 10 dis
courage future callers from discussing
the 1928 nomination as it may affect
him while in his presence.
This was borne out today during
call of former Senator James W.
Wadsworth, jr.. of New York, one of
the Republican leaders of that State,
who when asked as he was leaving
the Presidents office if he and the
President had discussed politics, quick
ly replied that the subject was not
mentioned and that following Senator
Fess' experience he would be afraid to
bring it up with the Executive.
Some of the speculation today is
that President Coolidge. by his repri-
manding Senator Fess. has made 1t
more definite that it is his honest in
tention to retire and that it is dis
tasteful to him to have his name men,

LONDON, October 21.-Viscount
Cecil, who recently resigned from the
Baldwin cabinet in disagreement with
it's disarmament policy, today launch
ed personal speaking campaign in
the cause of disarmment, making the
first of a half dozen addresses which
he will deliver before Christmas.
Speaking at a special meeting of
the British League of Nations Union
at Caxton Hall, Viscount Cecil de-
clared that the object of his resigna-
ton from the cabinet, an act which
shook the British political world, was
to have greater freedom to press upon
his fellow countrymen the urgency OF
disarmament without which, he said,
there could be no hope of an endur-
ing peace in Europe.
do not let us forget that out of
every pound of taxation we pay, IA
shillings are due to past wars or
preparation for future wars" he said.
This is a terrible burden, far greater
than any other country in the world
is bearing at present"
Viscount Cecil said that Great Brit :
ain must reduce the cost of her fight
ing services, but added that she could
not do SO to any great extent unless
other countries did the same. He as
serted that Britain, with the possible
exception of Russia, where accurate
information is not available, is the
only European country whose expendi-
ture for armaments is larger than
before the war.
