CAREY CRITICISM EASED

New York, Dec. 7.-(P-The re-
ports of the British and American
nautical advisors at federal COM
missioners' investigation of the sink
ing of the British liner Vestris agree
that the officers Of the vessel were
Incompetent.
Although they differ in tone, that
Of Captain Z. A. Jessop, U. S. N.
retired, being uncompromising and
severe while that of Captain Henry
McConkey Of the Cunard line being
more restrained. both declare the
SOS should have been sent out six
hours earlier and that the officers
did not take proper steps to see to
the safety Of the passengers.
Captain McConkey tempered his
criticism Of Captain William J..
Carey, who went down with his ship,
by calling attention to the captains
long service and perfect record. He
said there might have been reasons
which the inquiry had not brought
out which led the captain to delay
his sos and urged withholding
judgment on the captain until re-
view could be made by the British
board of trade.
Captain Jessop, however, did not
spare Captain Carey nor other Of
ficers in his charge of inefficiency
and bad sea practice.
History holds no incidents, to NV
knowledge, to compare with the in
competence and sheer stupidity Of
this exhibition"

going the regular bi-weekly cabinet
meeting, Secretary Kellogg appeared
today before the senate foreign re-
lations committee in executive ses-
sion to explain his views of the ulti-
lateral treaty renouncing war as an
instrument of National policy.
Almost a full attendance of the
committee listened to the secretary.
While no opposition has been public
~ announced to the treaty, some
senators questioned Mr.. Kellogg
flosely about the possibility that
this country's efforts to enforce the
pact might draw it into war.
Chairman Borah, Of the commit
tee. is hoping for early committee
action on the treaty and if any op-
position develops within the COM
mittee it is generally expected to
be not against the pact itself but in
favor of a reservation to it.

ter of a billion dollars has been filed
