strength, President Coolidge has
called Admiral Charles F. Hughes.
chief of naval operations, to the
summer White House at Brule, Wis,
to explain the compromise to him in
expert terms, it was learned today.
Officials here admittedly are con-
cerned seriously over the anti
American implication in the agree
ment, and it is known that this con-
Germ has been communicated to the
President
Secretary of State Kellogg has
suggested that the question is so
delicate he can not discuss it pub
licly until Mr. Coolidge has had op-
portunity to study it.
Will Present Views
Hughes is expected to see the
President today or tomorrow. It is
presumed he not only will present
his own views, but will pass on to
Mr.. Coolidge the opinions OF Rear
Admiral Andrew T. Long and COM
mander H. c. Train. both of whom
have devoted the last fortnight to an
intensive study of the British note
which contains a resume of the
naval compromise
While terms of the compromise
still are kept secret it has been in
dicated here and in Europe that un-
der it France and Great Britain have
agreed among other things to sup

atory disarmament conference at
Geneva which will place no limita-
ton on small cruisers and on subma-
rineS displacing 600 tons or less.
The American policy calls for
definite limitation on all cruiser
tonnage.
Would Limit Cruisers
The Franco-British plan would
limit only the 10,000-ton cruisers,

pected to be called in October or
November, again will be headed by
Hugh S. Gibson, ambassador to
