IShbcl Starts Program

New York. Oct. II (UP)-TsnDel Macdonald, who so charmed Wash ington, started early today to do" New York without the encumbrance of an official schedule.
 By a. m.. Miss Macdonald had oreakfasted and smilingly greeted a large group of newspaper women whom she captivated with her ready smile and delightful conversation when she arrived in this country with her father.
 For the next three days, the daughter of Premier Macdonald plans to lead her own life. Most of her comparatively brief stay here will be devoted to h.r own avocation sociology, especially, as regards the care of children. She has already arranged to visit the larger child welfare centers in this city.
 Meantime, New York University and Columbia University may have to invoke some sort of diplomacy to end their dispute over Miss Mac Donald. Columbia announced that she would be present at Saturdays football game here with Wesleyan University. This announcement was followed by one from New York University that she would positively be guest at it's football game with Fordham.

Apparently unaware that she was the center of collegiate row, Miss Macdonald excitedly awaited her visit later today into the crowded lower East Side tenement district. She was the guest of Miss Lillian Wald, secretary of the Henry Street Settlement, a center for humanitar- ian work in the nations largest city.
 While her father was dining with Thomas l.. Lamont, of J. F. Morgan x Company last night, Miss Mac Donald, as the guest of Sir Harry Gloster Armstrong, British consul general and Laiy Armstrong, was given a glimpse of New York's night life.
 Escorted by motorcycle policemen, Miss Macdonald was piloted through the theatrical district by Police Com missioner Grover A. Whalen and Mrs. Whalen. She saw Sweet Ade- line" a musical comedy and later went behind the scenes where she was introduced to members of the company.

Senate still SkeDtical

Washington, Oct. Il UP)-The visit of Premier Macdonald is look ed upon by the United States sen ate as a personal triumph and a dis tinct development in friendly Anglo American relations but there is an underground belief that disaTma- ment is yet a long way off
 The representative sentiment of that body to which all governmental questions eventually find their way for free discussion, including any prospective agreement for disarma- ment which may be negotiated, was expressed today in statements made by the various group leaders and in ternational authorities of the senate
 In the senate, there is almost unanimity of opinion that President Hoover will have difficulty with hi. 'yardstiCk' to measure naval strength; that France and Italy with
New Britain herald., 1929-10-11

their peculiar interests may find it extremely hard 70 abandon their submarines because they have not the money to build battleships and feel they must protect their coasts: that technical "parity" will be diff ficult to establish: and that if 1t Is established without scrapping on a big scale the agreement will encoun- ter severe opposition before it is ratified by the senate.
 Must Scale Down Nayies
 There are a dozen or more sena- tors who will say privately and others publicly, at this time. that the agreement must provide for seal ing down navies rather than eStab- fishing parity at the present strength. They understand MT. Hoov- CT desires this, but has not yet won his point,
 There is, however, no expression of Encouragement that more could have been accomplished and the various factions seem to agree the

Macdonald visit has been highly successful. Some admired so much his frankness in discussing diplo- matic affairs that they have com mended it to American statesmen.
 More statements to emphasize this general disarmament situation may publicly issued as soon as MacDon- aid leaves American shores, but the following are representative of sena- torial opinion:
 Senator Hiram Johnson, repn., California, q leader Tn the old ire concilabie group which fought the League of Nations and an advocate of secure national defense: Every right thinking individual believes in disarmament. All of us hope for naval limitation. Personally, because ever l have so believed, I welcome the exchanges recently occurring be- tween the president and Premier Macdonald and fervently hope they may ultimately result in limitation of the navies of Great Britain and
New Britain herald., 1929-10-11

could not because of his situation. l would like to have seen something done about the other nations, in cluding Japan, but l am confident MT. Macdonald has made a great impression by his sincerity. l com mend his candor to the president"
 Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Jr., repn, Wis: q regard MT. Mac Donald's visit as a personal triumph. l believe his personality. his sincerity and his frankness were such that better understanding between the two nations will inevitably resulC
 My own view is that the rank and file of the people are not SO much interested in parity and limitation as in disarmament. Any agreement which merely limits or gives parity. or provides for further construction of naval craft on our part would be great disappointment. Whatever technicians have to say, it is never theless a fact that there is a power ful public sentiment for reduction"
