of a colored hold-up man and threw a

j. S. NAVAL REPLY
LAUDED IN LONDON
American Note on Anglo
French Pact Awaits Re-
action of Cabinet.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 29.-While pro-
nouncement of the official reaction
toward the American reply to the
Anglo French naval agreement waits a
full cabinet meeting, the British press
in its Sunday morning editions con-
tinues to praise the American note.
while criticizing in varying degree the
British government.
Under the heading Get Out Of Eu-
ropc!' the Sunday Express declares
the moral to be drawn from the Amer
lean note is that Britain should dis
en.angle herself from all of her Eu-
ropean commitments and set herself
free to pursue a purely British policy
based on the interests of the security
of the empire as whole"
WAR between the British people and
the American people is ridiculously IN
conceivable" the Sunday Express as
serts. I'VE are not rivals on the seas.
The Americans need one sort OF navy,
we another. If we could get out OF
Europe there would be no vestige OF
misunderstanding between us and our
American friends"
Criticizes Diplomacy.
The Sunday Dispatch says: Our in
effective diplomacy has exposed us 10
sharn rebuke. The 'blunder must now
be repaired. The people of this coun-
try are profoundly anxious not only for
for
United States. Fortunately, that feel
ing is ON so solid basis that even the
most fatuous craftsmanship cannot
really undermine it.
The Sunday Observer declares: "Ihe
substance of the American note answers
I'm to expectations. Its tone is moderate
and, while it applies the logic OF the
Washington conference in unansweraole
terms, its concluding paragraph opens
a new avenue of negotiations. Inc
document is thus fully welcome TO all
friends of peace at sea"
Publicity Assailed.
A column on the editorial page of the
Sunday Times is devoted TO the SUD-
Zone of the most important causes
of the failure of the Anglo French
agreement" says the Times, lis the dis
tressing mismanagement OF publicity.
There is something to be said for COM
plete secrecy until definite results nave
been reached, provided that these are
then published without delay. Tnere Is
even more to be said for complete open
ness and candor, for in these demo-
cratic DAYS diplomacy is not game
of courts or secret conclaves in back
parlors of chancelleries, but derives. all
its power from sympathy and under
standing of peoples"
