ANGLO-U. S. NAVY
PARLEY IS ASKED
Britten Cables Prime Minister
Suggesting Conference
in Canada.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Britten of the House naval
affairs committee thinks he has a plan
that would help the United States and
Great Britain to arrive at an under
standing on the equality of sea power
and naval problems generally.
He has put forward his ideas in a
cablegram to Stanley Baldwin, prime
minister of England. He suggested that
members of the House naval affairs
committee and committee from the
Parliament hold joint meeting in
Canada after March 4. Equality of sea
power between the two countries on all
classes of war vessels not affected by
the Washington arms conference would
be discussed. The committees would
report the result of the discussions and
recommendations to their governments
after the fashion of the interparlia-
mentary union.
Reasons Are Given.
Representative Britten said that his
proposal came about as the result of a
statement made by Premier Baldwin
on November Is in which the prime
minister was quoted as saying he be-
lieved that more frequent personal dis
cusSions between American and Brit
iSh representatives would lead to better
understanding and feeling.
Where there Is so much genuine re-
gret among the peoples of England anC
America over the failure of the last
Geneva naval limitation conference,
Mr.. Britten said in his cablegram
surely some way should be found fol
a meeting before 1881 when the five
leading naval powers will assemble al

Prefers Nom Military Men.

In statement issued yesterday in
connection with his telegram to the
premier, Mr.. Britten said that the
failure of past limitations conferences
had been attributed to military men
and that while he personally did not
think they were responsible, he would
prefer to see both committees composed
of non military men.
He declared that this country's naval
policy had never been competitive, but
had always been defensive.
I'VE have actually been backward
in promoting true national defense"
he declared American people favor
general armament reduction but only to
a limit of national safety"
He asserted that England and Amer
lea should lead the way toward naval
limitation and a peaceful understanding
on the seas.
All the members of the House naval
affairs committee are also members Of
the Interparliamentary Union, Mr..
Britten said.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
The Allies at Kansas City

The "alies" at Kansas City, who have adopted as
their slogan stop Hoover" are in a rather awkward
position. No leader Of the coalition has indicated that
Ne may be induced to withdraw from the presidential
race, and any effort on the part OF the ~allies" to cen
traIize upon one candidate will probably be met by
complete disruption Of the combine.
The Lowdcn campaign managers have indicated in
no uncertain terms that the other candidates in the
combine should be good sports" and withdraw in favor
Of their chief. They point out that Lowden IL the
"runner-up" in the G. o. r. presidential race, ranking
next 10 Hoover in his total of instructed delegates
Other candidates in the coalition apparently arc not
willing 70 back down until there has been n thorough
test Of strength in the convention. and have indicated
to the Lowden managers that their invitation to seep
out Of the way will not be accepted, in the early voting
al least.
Hoover managers aver they do not regard the coali-
tion seriously. They point out that no similar coalition
has been successful in stopping q candidate who had
such an overwhelming majority Of instructed dele
gates. and history bears out their contention. They
predict early disruption Of the combine and expect "a
pick Up enough delegates when the explosion comes to
nominate their candidate.
No matter what happens in the convention there
will be no holt. Lowdcn and the agricultural interests
he represents are extremely bitter toward the Coolidge
administration and Secretary Hoover, but that bitter
ness Is not sufficient basis for a third party move.
They will endeavor 20 secure the adoption OF n farm re-
lief plank in the national platform. and while failure
70 do this may result in the loss Of several Northwest
ern states which are usually in the republican column,
the party leaders OF those states will not join a third
party movcmen
The forces whose present slogan is "stcp Hoover
will come around 10 him if they must. They have no
personal animosity toward the commerce secretary.
They are opposing him because he has declared for the
Coolidge policies. which are particularly obnoxious to
the agricultural interests OF the Middle West. How
ever, the leaders realize that il farm relief is secured,
IL must come through ono Of the major parties, ana
that any effort to inaugurate a third party movement
with farm relief FOR its foundation will prove futile.
