actions the Secretary obtained from
officials of foreign governments. There
was a surmise that the President would
confer with Mr. Kellogg and Navy De-
partment officials, on a note to be sent
to Great Britain and France, regarding
this Countrys attitude toward the Ait

City Plans Farewell.
Members of the presidential staff
said that Mr.. Coolidge was not famlllaf
with the details of the Anglo-French
memorandum. and did not intend to
burden his mind with 1t until he had
talked to Mr.. Kellogg.
Tomorrow the President and Mrs.
Coolidge will motor to the village OF
Brule. where they will worship for the
last time during the vacation at the
little Congregational Church.

Storck also said that he was one OF
the first men in America to own an
automobile, and expressed the belief
that he would be able to deal with any
engine trouble which might develop
en- route.
AS a result of the difficulty he ex-
perienced in getting permission to fly
over the various countries of Europe
and the East, Storck said he was con-
vinced that it was necessary that the
United States either ratify the inter-
national air convention or make sepa-
rate air treaties with all countries.

While American Government circles
displayed much interest yesterday in
the dispatches from Europe dealing
with the Anglo-French naval comnro-
mise, there was absolute silence as to
the position of the United States.
When first received in Washington

call for no response on the part Of the
United States. Whether int1matlonS

Kellogg TO Confer.
Secretary Kellogg's return here Tues
day from Europe, and the return OF
President Coolidge later in the week
fir M Wisconsin, will afford the first OPP
portunlty these two officials have had
for ~arsonal conference since the re-
ceipt of the Anglo-French compromise
summary reached Washington.
The President has been kept fully
Informed concerning every development
end of the results of the study OF the
summary made by Rear AdmiralS Jones
and Long, naval experts. who are fully
conversant with previous naval limita-
ton parle.'s.
May Not Respond.
It is considered not unlikely that
after the President and Mr.. Kellogg
have discussed the question some pro-
ncuncement in connection with 1t might
be made. Inasnuch as the Franco
British compromise is considered by
the Washington Government as simply
q suggestion of principle of limitation
that may be recommended to the pre-
liminary conference on disarmament at
Geneva when such conference is called,
and as Washington feels no answer is
required to the note which conveyed
the summary of the agreement the
American Government may make no
response at all. If the question is to
be discussed. American officials feel. it
should be done at the next meeting of
the preparatory commission and not
in an exchange of diplomatic notes.

Home Secretary Says British Trade
Routes Must Be Preserved.

HUNTERSTON CASTLE, Ayrshire,
England. September P).-Sir William
Johnson Hicks, home secretary, in the
principal speech at a big conservative
party fete here today, defined the
kngio-Franco naval agreement as in
the direction merely of defensive as
against offensive warfare"
He pointed out that the agreement
was not yet treaty.
"I do not want to discuss this agree
mcnt with any reference to any par
ticlllar power" he said, but the cabi-
net ministers of Britain owe duty to
their country and in dealing with dis
armament there is one fundamental
question we must consider more than
any other-that is the safety OF the
nation and of our trade routes"
In referring to the Kellogg-Briand
treaty. the home secretary warned not
to expect too much of the pact as con-
aummated.
Altogether" he said. you cannot
put any signature upon any paper and
alter human nature. The nations OF
the world are still armed to the teeth
and the pact Is but one more express
sion that war is wrong, hateful and I'M
desirable. We must follow that up by
tranSlating it into practice with diminu-
ton of world ornaments"

HIGHWAYS IN ALASKA HAVE CUT TRANSPORTATION

SEATTLE, Nov, 30, (P)-The history of Alaska's future devel- opment will follow closely the his tory of her highway extensions. declared Major Malcolm Elliott, district engineer in Alaska, Engin- ger Corps, U. s. A., and president of the Alaska Road Commission who is in Seattle enroute to Wash ington, D. C., to furnish informa- tion on Alaska road development to the Budget Bureau and Con- gressional Appropriations Com mitties.
 He reported the highway artery known as the Richardson High way, also the Steese Highway, now reaches from Valdez 533 miles to Fairbanks and to Circle City, with @ network of feeder roads totaling 1 ,623 miles.
 HE SAID THAT
 along this highway flows an inn mense volume of freight and pas senger traffic adding, the Steese extension from Fairbanks to Cir cle was just completed this sum- mer and was used during the sea son for a large volume of traffic Before the close of the summer it aided in opening highly miner aized district south of the Yukon river.
 There is need for more road de- velopment, he said, and the loca. requirements have not been mel so far by construction of roads
 The construction of roads 1T those areas into which hlghWays could be built would be adVanta- geous and as this is brought about Alaska will come into it's greatest development.
 Major Elliott pointed out that the highways have reduced trans portation costs from $6,50 per tor a mile by dog sled to $500 by pack horse and to $1.30 per ton anc less by truck.
