PAPER DEFENDS
SIR ESME'S STAND
New Statesman Says Naval
Disarmament Negotiations
viii Be Resumed.
BY the Associated Press.

a
LONDON, February % Declaring
that Ambassador Howard was on firm
ground in his recent statement to the
American press, the New Statesman to-
day says that negotiations regarding
naval disarmament will certainly be re-
sunned upon British initiative after the
general election In May or June.
This opinion coupled with consider
able criticism Of Sir Austen Chamber
lain, the foreign secretary, and the
methods of the foreign office, come OF
the criticism obviously based on party
policy due to the approaching general
election, characterizes all the leading
weekly reviews.
Bad Impression Feared.
The New Statesman expresses fear
that Sir Austen must have produced a
very bad impression in America, where
as Sir Esme's statement was extremely
well received both. there and in Japan.
The important thing, says the Satur-
day Review, is that everything Ambas-
sador Howard said ought to be true.
And it is noteworthy that it was re-
ceived with equal relief In Britain and
in the United States. The Review de-
clareS that there was nothing about the
f1IilDdooduOE StdtEtiGtit tttdt StlOltiQ
cause anything but relief to the people
of both sides of the Atlantic
The Spectator says that on the whole
there is. no difference worth troubling
about between Ambassador Towards
friendly prediction and the explanation
OF the foreign Office, "Sir Austen said
Commons on Wednesday that Sir
Esmes statement was correct but that
the foreign office wished to prevent mis-
understanding Of it in America"
Views Of Spectator.
The Spectator says that altogether
1t seems that the foreign Offices action
was one more example OF Sir Austen's
highly scrupulous and conscientious, but
not always well timed, refining.
The nation and Atheneun calls the
foreign Office handling OF Anglo-Am
lean relations deplorable and says that
there is nothing conflicting between the
views expressed by Ambassador How
ard and the foreign Office. Neverthe-
less, it contends. the recent foreign Of
fee communique was disturbing be-
cause on all questions relating to dis
armament and the organization OF
world peace, the foreign Office seemed
so much more anxious to emphasize
difficulties and TO discourage premature
hope than to give any assurance that
the urgency of the problem was real
lied.

HOOVER COMPARED
WITH WASHINGTON
LongWorth Predicts Their
Administrations Will
Be Similar.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, February 22.-Speak-
ing today at the Washington birthday
exercises OF the University of Penn
syfyania, Nicholas Longworth, Speaker
OF the House Of Representatives, pre-
dicted that the administration Of Her
bert Hoover would bear worthy COM
parison" with that Of the first Presi-
dent.
Nearly 200 years after the birth of
Washington" said Mr.. LongWorth.
there comes for the first time another
engineer to succeed him in the presi-
dency, one whose professional career
bears worthy comparison with that OF
Washington, and, II I may be permitted
prediction. 1t Is that his adfninistra-
ton of the greatest and most influential
Government position in the world, the
presidency Of the United States, will
bear worthy comparison with that Of
the father
Believes in Two Parties.
Mr. Longworth said he was a firm
believer in responsible party govern
nlent In America, without which, he de-
clared, such q representative demo-
cratic republic" could not long endure. I"
-. so far as the Congress Of the United
States is concerned" he added, "I be-
lieve in the two-party system Of gov
eminent. I believe that there always
should be in Congress q party having
sufIicient votes to pass legislation as
commissioned by the American people;
and as a corollary believe that there
should be . strong, cohesive minority
party. prepared to criticize the actions
of the majority. that the people may
fully understand wherein the majority
party has lived or failed to live up to
its trust.
United on fundamentals.
(, IT insist, too, that these two national
parties should be united with each
other on fundamentals OF economic
policy and not on ephemeral questions
due to temporary public hysteria, and,
above all, not upon questions of
geography. race or religion. Such politi-
cal divisions as these believe to be the
bane of Europe and of most OF the
world today and the reason for the
ineticiency and lack Of stability OF most
OF their governments"
The Speaker declared that Washing
ton frequently voiced his opposition to
factionalism and that he was 4 stern
opponent Of political divisions depend
ent upon sectionalisn or racial or re-
ligious hatred. He said the deeds OF
the first President were unsurpassed,
and beyond compare"
In presenting Speaker Lofgwurth for
the degree Of doctor Of laws, Provost
Josiah II. Penniriar said that the uni
versity in 1888 had conferred 4 similar
degree upon George Washington.

HOOVER IS BUSY
DESPITE HOLIDAY
viii Confer With Oregon Ma
tionaI Committeeman
This Afternoon.

President-elect Hoover Is observing
Washington's birthday in the same
manner in which he observes every 9TH
er week day. and he has been busy to-
day mapping out work for himself at his
S street home. He maze only one or
two engagements, however.
During the afternoon he is to confer
with Ralph Il. Williams, Republican ma
tional committeeman fro Oregon, and
vice chairman of the Republican ma
tlonal committee. Next to Hubert Work,
the chairman of the committee, Mr..
Williams is understood to be closer to
Mr.. Hoover than any other party leader,
and because of this fact friends of Mr.
Hoover look upon Mr. williams as the
only one of the group of party leaders
entitled to speculation regarding q cab
met position.
Close to President Elect.
1t has been pointed out that because
of Mr. Hoover's attachment for Mr..
williams. and his knowledge of the
latter's ability as an organizer and ad-
lninistrator, there are some who feel
that If the President-elect feels called
upon to make an out-and-out political
appointment he would look to the
Oregon national committeeman.
In response to speculation along these
lines, Mr.. Williams has emphatically
announced that he has no such aspira-
tions and that he is not being consid-
cred. Some of his friends contend that
Mr.. Williams would prefer to serve
President-eleCt Hoover outside of the
cabinet. and that Mr. williams would
be more content to remain as vice
chairman of the Republican national

interests in the Northwest.
Shaw Makes Brief Call.
A. w. Shaw. economist and publisher
OF System, who visited Mr.. Hoover at
Belle Isle, Fla and who accompanied
him back to Washington, was with him
for brief period this morning. There
has been some hint that Mr.. Shaw
might be looked upon as a cabinet
possibility. but associates of Mr.. Hoover
attribute his frequent calls upon the
Pfesident-elect to certain investigations
he Is conducting for Mr.. Hoover.
The S street house was the scene
yesterday afternoon of several confer
ences, among the callers being Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Mellon Repre-
sentative Wood of Indiana and Henry
M. Robinson, Los Angeles banker and
intimate friend of Mr.. Hoover None
of the callers threw any light upon the
nature OF their talk with the President
elect.
Mr.. Robinson has been frequently
mentioned In connection with a cabi-
net appointment. and the fact that he
was guest at the Hoover home We'd
nesday night and yesterday for lunch,
and was In conference with the Presi-
dent elect later in the afternoon, has
caused him to loom prominently as a
possible appointee.
