TaIssion today. the full implications OF
the French opposition 10 President
Coolidges naval disarmament pro
posal. as expressed in the new ffehch
refusal 10 send even an observer, pe-
came clear.
Within 10 minutes after the open
ing OF today's debate. the delegates
had lined up in the British or naval
bloc. which desires limitations OF army
reserves but refuses TO limit naval
personnel, and the French, or land
bloc. which insists on limitation OF
naval personnel, but refuses to limit
trained army reserves.
L. :. Joins With Britain.
with Great Britain are the United
States and Japan. With France are
most of the smaller continental states.
THE position of the French delega-
tion today makes clear that the reason
why France boycotts the Coolidge con-
ference is that it is confined TO limlta-
ton of tonnage. and acceptance Of its
terms by France would oblige France
10 reuounce her claim to limit marines
and naval reserves Of the great naval
powers.
Hugh Gibson, head Of the American
delegation. supporting Great Britain,
made three speeches supporting the
technical view contained in the Cool
idge proposal--that naval limitation
be confined TO tonnage.
Il al, ,4,r f1E
British on all proposals, hence Lord
Cecil. the British delegate, has asked
his government for instructions on
the possibility of compromise.
Reply Causes Surprise
Surprise is expressed here at the
French statement, in replying to the
Coolidge invitation, that the League
of Nations already is discussing naval
disarmament on the basis of the in
separability of land, sea and air
forces. This inseparability has not
been agreed TO by the preparatory
commission. 1t is merely a proposal
BY the French, which is categorically
rejected by some of the most impor-
tant powers.
Surprise also is ccasioned by the
French statement that a large ma
5ority of the nations represented at
the Geneva conference support the
French view that naval limitation
should be connected with land limita-
tion. 1t is pointed out that most of
the nations thus seeking TO dictate
the terms of naval disarmament, and. !
incidentally prejudicing the success
of the Coolidge conference, are small
land powers. like Jugoslavia. Ruma-
MIA. Poland and Belgium, which have
little or no naVies.

KANSAS CITY, April 5.--Modern

schools met the opposition yesterday
of the Ministerial Alliance OF Greater
Kansas City.
The clergy did not present an united
front on the question, however. Led

minority of nine urged more careful
consideration. The vote ON a resolu-

which is to be presented to the Board

Our desire is to see less of the mod
ern dance with its terrible evil results
so well known to social workers and
welfare workers the country over, -
said the resolution.
Ballroom dancing has been taught at
the Paseo High School here this year
as one Of several recreationaI subjects
elective TO students. AT Westport High
School the Parent-Teacher Association
was recently granted permission to
conduct dancing classes after school
