Britten Says Envoy Is

CURIOSITY PIQUED
Congressman Wants To
Know Who Told Minister
To Negotiate.

WASHINGTON, April % U.P)-
hartman Fred Britten Of The
house naval affairs committee IS
sued 4 statement today declaring
Ambassador Hugh Gibson had twice
within 10 days played directly into
the hands Of British and French
diplomats by making disarmament
proposals.
Britten said Gibson's suggestion
that trained army reserves should
not be included in computing the
military strength of nation was
equivalent TO agreeing that navy
vessels in reserve but ready to
fight should not be included in
establishing the naval strength of
= nation.
This is the second time within
10 days that Gibson has played di-
reetly into the hands of British and
French diplomacy. The first was his
proposal TO accept the British cate
CORY theory for measuring the naval
strength of the five leading powers
instead of by global tonnage as
was the case in the Washington
conference, Britten said
- Both Of Gibson 5 proposals
should bc very effective in the
coming British elections although
neither has the slightest chance of
acceptance hy the League of Ma
tions disarmament preparatory com
mission for many years to come, ii
at all.
1t must not be forgotten that
The secret Angclo.French treaty OF
1928, which created storm of dis
approval throughout America and
England because it was inimical to
The best interests of the United
States, contained the very clause
now being sponsored by the Ameri-
can ambassador
Two years ago the war depart.
mcnt effectively objected to n pro.
posal to exclude trained army re-
serves from military calculations
because it made n farce Of n ser.
ious subject, the statement said.
Britten said he has been unable
TO learn whether the complete
surrender of American principles of
the past as advanced by Gibson
had been approved by the navy
general board or the army general
staff. He said he would like to
know by what authority Gibson is
proposing to negotiate European
treaties.
