CATHEDRAL CALLED
VALHALLA Of RACE
Visiting British Journalists
Guests of Carnegie
Endowment.
Praising the Washington Cathedral

Praising the Washington Cathedral
as "the most impressive spectacle" that
the visiting British journalists had
seen on their tour OF America, Sir
George Armstrong last night predicted
the possibility in the far-d:stant future
of this wonderful cathedral On its
massive foundation, built for thousands
of years." becoming the "Valhalla' of
the EngliSh-Speaking peoples.
Who knows" he queried, addressing
a banquet given at the Willard Hotel
by the Carnegie Endowment for Inter-
national Peace, "but that the day may
come when by reason of great change
Westminster Abbey may gradually
crumble into dust and this cathedral
may stand as the center of civilization
Of the English-speaking race?"
Sir George characterized war as a
"diseaSe" which would take some time
to eradicate, but he predicted that the
community of interest and deep SYM
pathy" among English-Speaking people
would go far toward solution of AL
those ills which beset humanity"
Expressing gratitude to the Carnegie
Endowment for the tour, Sir George
declared each one of the journalists
had been impressed with the conviction
that there was real community of
interest between England and the
United States" They would return. he
said, not only to keep alive in their
own hearts this feeling but to spread
it to all their readers.
The intense civic pride which he said
the journalists found in every American
city was characterized by the speaker
as one of the secrets of the country'S
prosperity.
So impressed were the journalists
with the press conference between
President Coolidge and the American
press, which they attended that they
feel, Sir George said. they could recon-
mend the plan to the English ministry.
Oulahan Greets Visitors.
Richard " Oulahan, head of the
Washington Bureau of the New York
Times, greeted the visitors On behalf
of the American press. He said he
trusted the British journalists had re-
ceived truer picture of American life
that in Chicago they had not heard the
Zip, zip" of machine guns; that they
had discovered that Dayton, Tenn, was
not the intellectual and cultural capi-
tai of the United States" and that even
the booming of our own Big Bill here
in the National Capital docs not make
AIleTlCdIlS 1iG awake db IlISLlI. MT
Oulahan predicted that the trip of the
visitors would prove useful, not only in
creating better understanding between
England and the United States, but
also in spreading such better under
standing throughout the world. He
paid tribute to the peace work of the
Carnegie endowment.

would look forward to a closer union
in the future and toward conditions
which would thereby contribute to the
peace and happiness of the world"
r. A. j. Walling managing editor of
the Western Independent, Plymouth,
England. spoke on the cult of the
English language" and the power of
the English-speaking peoples in con-
serving the peace of the world.
I'VE have collected great mass of
fact and information concerning Amer
ican people and American institutions"
said Mr.. Walling. I'VE find that deep
down the interests of the English and
American people are one and the same.
Capital Is Praised.
He praised Washington as a noble,
dignifled and beautiful city"
George A. Finch of the Carnegie
Endowment explained the visit of the
British journalists was sponsored by
the endowment in an attempt to create
better feeling among nations by giving
the people themselves more informa-
ton about each other through the press.
Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, president
of the Washington branch of the Eng
Union, presided. Ar
rangements were in charge of Lynch
Luquer, honorary secretary.

HOOVER Is SUGGESTED
TO SETTLE NAVY DISPUTE
Englishman Proposes Committee
"Unembarrassed" by Experts to
Consider Controversy.


By the Associated Press.
LONDON, November 23.-Viscount
Lee of Fareham last night made novel
suggestion for settlement of the naval
controversy with the United States. He
was toasting the United States Ambas-
sador, Alanson B. Houghton, at a pub
lie dinner, and in the course of his re-
marks concerning disarmament, said:
II firmly believe if this naval con-
troversy could be relegated to a COM
mittee-say of Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.
Hoover, or of Mr.. Balfour and Mr.
Hughes-which would meet in either
Washington or London, unembarrassed
by the presence of naval experts, there
is very little doubt an agreement could
be reached not only upon disarmament
by the vexatious question Of freedom
of the sea. And this agreement would
be one which would commend itself
to our respective governments and
legislatures and to the whole of the
English-speaking people
isn't it at least worth trying?"

NOT surprising that the car depre-

treated.
Hurt To The Dealer
one Of the unfortunate and sig
nificant' phases of this prartice is
that those who see a dealer take IN
such a car lose faith in the idea
that good used cars can be obtained
and that there is economy in buy
ing them. Much of what is re-
parded as the used car problem
might be eliminated il motorists
with old cars to trade would try as
hard as manufacturers Of new cars
do to make their stock-in-trade def
nitely attractive.
one veteran car owner contends
that he obtains a higher allowance
on his ca after he has taken the
salesman or dealer for ride. He
keeps his car in good condition. and
while it will not do some of the
things one expects of the newer.
more powerful automobiles of the
year, it performs capably. This he
demonstrates to his prospects, and
the test usually is satisfactory
enough to convince the dealer that
he is not taking "a chance.
To praise the old car in glowing
terms does not produce tangible

only as a matter Of safety but also
as one of good salesmanship. il the
finish on the car is too old to pro-
duce a lustre, at least the car'
should be clean and the nickel In
the best possible condition. Any OF
the recognized cleansers will do TO
remove spots from the seat cushions
while a. new, good looking robe IN
the tonneau will add touch OF
refinement.

up a stock model with special equip.

turning it in.

looks like a rolling wreck and IL
the owner makes no offer to give
a demonstration in it. A lot of talk
is being wasted in an effort to
palm off neglected cars, but 1t
isn't producing drawing allowances.
Nor does it contribute one bit
toward minimizing the difficulties
that beset the automobile dealer in
getting lid of used cars.

car, it is good policy to have the
old car well creased. Carbon

Williams appeared at headquarters shortly after l o'clock this morning and complained that his automobile had been hit and overturned by another which was being driven by a drunken driver. Lieut.. Matthias Rival immediately communicated with the West Hart ford police giving them the details. He then advised Mr. Williams to so to the New Britain General hospital because he appeared to be injured. After receiving treatment for minor injuries there, Mir. Williams went to his home.
 In the meantime.

 Sergeant Murphy then started to- wards Hartford in pursuit of the driver of the other car. As he ap- preached the Elmwood post office. he noticed the automobile of Sarisky proceeding towards Hartford. It was travelling in an cratic course and the sergeant overhaulcd it and ordered the driver to stop.
 He saw from the condition of the car that it had been in an accident and he promptly placed Sarislly un- der arrest. Sarisky was detained at the West Hartford headquarters until this morning when he was re- leased under bond furnished by himself.
