Ambassador Charlss G. Dave; today ia
proposing vote of thanks to the lord
provost here at q ceremony in which
the freedom Of the city was presented
10 Premier Macdonald.
ITO rhe prime minister his sense Of
responsibility must be ever present"
began Ambassador Dawes.
AT ell times and everywhere he !.
Scotland. and sometimes by Amnasss-
dors, who are by no means the least
of his disturbers.
This leads me 10 say a word about
the discussions which. in carrying out
the directions Of President Hoover.
have recently had with Mr.. Macdonald.
Points 10 Press Comment.
When last Tuesday. after my visit TO
him, the prime minister issued his
statement on the nature Of these naval
problems which Great Britain and
America are discussing as preliminary
TO taking them up with other naval
powers. and he said in il that q dis
tinct advance had been made. I no.
ticed shortly afterward American presG
comment 10 the effect that this jndi-
Gated he had no progress TO report.
1T should be remembered that naval
negotiations NAV have favora blv 40
vanced although they may NOT have
reached necessarily the proper stage for
useful discussion in detail by the press"
the American Ambassador declared.
The arbitrators Of the ultimate fate
Of This naval effort will be the respec-
tive public sentiments Of the naval
powers. and time must be taken TO re-
duce them TO the simplest terms before
any public discussion Of the problems
involved so that the average man can
understand better what il is all about.
Wants Final solution Clear.
"If the problem is not mastered so
that the final solution IS clear and sat-
isfactorv to the average man. even
though the governments may come 10
preliminary agreements. rhe parlia
ments and the congresses NAV not rat
ify those agreements in the END.
The smaller the compass into which
the necessary technical naval differ
enceS can be reduced, the clearer will
be the public perception of the relative
, insignif1cance OF what is involved 80
compared with the total naval strength
of the powers and the more general
will be the demand that these smaller
technical differences be fairly adjusted
IN order that the whole cause Of world
peace may not be leopardized unirsti-
f1ablv thereby
We must realize that the one m
foreivab BILE thing now will be INADEQUATE
preparation for the proposed naval con-
/ ference"
Ambassador Dawes said at the outset
that his personal acquaintance with
Premier Macdonald covered only O.
short time in one sense. but long time
If il were measured by those important
contacts which had enabled him 10
Judge the high character OF the prime
, minister. 10 measure his motives and
to realize that feeling of true friendship
which endures because il Is based on
! sincere respect.
