Hoover and conference on limitation
Of armament
Hearty expressions Of good will which
appear today in the British press Of all
political shades, testify to the high
hopes of the nation for the success of
what the premier himself has called
voyage Of explora ton With Ameri-
can aid he hopes to give the world an
energetic faith instead of a hesitating
skepticism.'
Ambassador Charles G. Dawes. who
has taken a large share in preparing
the way for the British mission, will not
accompany Mr.. MacDonald's party to
Southampton. having taken his farewell
yesterday and wished the Scottish Labor
chieftain godspeed. Many others will

the Berengaria.
Details of plans for the reception OF
the British representatives in the United
States have been cabled here in great
length. Home political divisions and
party opinions have been for the most
part kept out of all discussion of the
mission, whose aims have the approval
OF the great bulk of the nation, ire
spective Of party political problems.
Women Plan for Journey.
An air of suppressed excitement per-
vaded the prime minister's household at
No. 10 Downing street yesterday in an
ticipation Of the journey. which for at
least two has much the character Of an
adventure. These are Miss Ishbel, the
premier's daughter, and Miss Rose
Rosenberg. his personal secretary. The
two women have been much together
the last few days, sharing preparations
for the journey.
Ishbel admitted to her municipal con-
stituents that she was terribly excited
about her trip. Natural Scottish reserve
and experience as head of the prime
minister's household combine to cloak
any exuberance she may feel. Also
there is the serious appreciation OF the
object of the visit and the hope that
she may be able to some extent to con-,
tribute to its success =
The deep feeling Macdonald himself
holds regarding his American mission
was indicated by the message he gave
the Laborite Daily Herald on the eve
Of his departure from England.

alton can make to the history of the
world is to establish peace among ma

Labor movement and of every influence
