Meanwhile American oficials are con-
vinced that no naval disarmament con-
ference between the two nations is prob
able in the near future, even though
Mr. Macdonald does come here In two
or three months. They regard predic-
tons that such conference Il liz pros
pect as shooting beyond the mark, espe-
cially in view Of the Presidents position
that agreement on a new formula for
measuring naval strength is necessary
before such an undertaking could be
approached with hope Of success The
working out Of that formula. now in the
hands Of naval experts of the various
powers. will require some months Of
study and negotiation.

VATICAN CITY Is PLEASED.

VATICAN CITY. June az GP).-Fttst
word of settlement OF the Mexican re-
lisious controversy was borne to the
Vatican encourage today by the Asse-
ciated Press and was received with
great JOY.
Even the closest collaborators Of
Cardinal Gasparri, papal secretary OF
Pontiff's decision on the terms Presi-
dent Portes Gil and Archbishop Ruiz
drew I'D and forwarded him.
Unofficially IL was said that the
terms of the settlement at first glance
seemed TO indicate considerable con-
cessions by the church In order to ar
rive At an agreement.
It was considered certain that Pope
Plus would allude to the settlement in
one of his earliest allocutions to pill
grim groups, which are being received
in audience almost daily. Pending his
comments, even the highest oficials In
the ONCE OF the secretary of state were
naturally unwilling to proffer their per-
sonal opinions on the accord.
News that the Chilean embassy
served as the agent for transmitting
the Pope's reply was received with
much appreciation, the feeling being
that IL showed Catholic countries Of
the Western Hemisphere realized they
have spiritual as well as geograplnical
ties in common and that problems vex-
ing one may well have repercussion In
the others.

Both claim that the Democrats stood

the debenture clause. which was op-
posed by the President and the great
majority Of the Republicans. They
also attacked the tariff bill which has

In his statement Senator Mcclellan
The Democrats have stood four
square for the farmers of America, For
real relief Instead Of pseudo relief. For
better prices to the farmers rather than
Lending them more money. They are
overburdeneA with debts now.
They have. in the interest Of the
farmers, forced vote in both houses on
the debenture plan showing the nm
willingness of the Republican majority
TO carry out the farm-relief plank of
their national platform, guaranteeing
that agriculture shall be put on the same
economic basis with industry.
1T Is wholly false that there has
been o combination Of Democrats and
