 Since they leave for Philadelphia at a. m. tomorrow. the prime min ister asked to be received at the i White House at p. m. today to take formal leave.
 This will mark the official end of the mission undertaken by Mac Donald to marrow the Atlantic" and 1 to encourage moral solidarity of l the British and American peoples, '' 1 though the president will see Mac Donald informally at Secretary Of State sSimson's stag dinNr later in i the evening.
 Has Full Program 1 This farewell was preceded by a ! full program for the prime minister, i one Of his most important engage ments being the tea date with Sena- l tor Borah, chairman of the foreign i relations committee. at the British i embassy at 5;30 p. m.

 Indications have developed that i though Mir. Hoover and the prime minister are talking of lofty. broad i policies, they also are considering l practical details. During the last 4 hours the president has conferred frequently with Secretary of State ! Stimson, Cndcrsecrctary Cotton and | Secretary of Navy Adams Some 1 here believe still further reduc- ton in cruiser limits below those 1 recently agreed upon. Is likely.
 A joint statement by the president and the prime minister which will outline to the world the questions which have been uppermost ir their minds since the pair sat on the l r1oss covered log over the creek al the presidents Rapidan fishing i camp, is expected.
 Kellogg Pact Praised
 One result of the prime ministers visit has been to bring new prestige to the Kellogg peace pact, which while sponsored here, has been re- l garded somewhat cynically by many l in Washington who regarded it as a pleasant gesture"
 Macdonald has laid great em- l pil'IHiN u}'oll IIit III pOl IhIlCC liC hN- i tached to this anti-war pact as 8 | cornerstone for modern peace which will not be so much ar armed truce as in the past but g positive will to peace by the nations of the world The Kellogg pact has been made the starting point in thu ! five power naval conference. Prime Minister Macdonald believes 1t pro. vides a way out of Britain's di lemma over freedom of the sea! which he says must be settled before genuine harmony can be established and which at the same time Rritair 1 has regarded as menace 10 he safety in wartime.
 Under the Kellogg nact most na, tions hove pledged themselves tc abandon war as an instrument 0 national policy.
 President Hoover however, feel: the good feeling which has resulted ! from MacDonald's visit is more i'm. portant than any incidental con clusion arrived at in their conver sations The fact Macdonald is O the labor party and suffered every thing but martyrdom because of hi peace views during the war ha strengthened confidence in his sin cerity here.
 Macdonald has displayed keel sense of humor which the presiden observed would easily have ''lubri catcd" discussions, and democrati spirit which has been admitted oI every hand. Yesterday he chatte with a stone mason employed on tn new British embassy building.
 Uses Own Valet
 Before leaving the White Hous yesterday morning, however, he sen for his own personal valet whom h brought here from England, for hi morning shave. to the chagrin of
