Ambassador Dawes in London the
President is working on the theory that
what the new American Ambassador to
Great Britain may lack in technical
knowledge of the armament question
can readily be supplied by Hugh Glib
son. who has been particularly familiar
with all details of the naval armament
discussion question since he went to
Geneva as the personal envoy OF Presi-
dent Coolidge.
In Dawes and Gibson the President
has two aggressive minds. The assump-
ton 10 that Mr.. Dawes will work out
with Premier Macdonald the general
principles and that Mr.. Gibson will en-
deavor to line UP allies for the idea on
the continent. It may be that by the
time the British premier visits the
United States practical understanding
viii have been reached as to the best
method of satisfying public opinion in
both Great Britain and the United
States.
There is little doubt of the under
lying desire on the part of both coun-
tries to settle the armament question

he has q clear Geld for the alI-important
negotiations that may mean far reach
ing changes In the relations between
Europe and the United States.
Mr.. Hoover, from the beginning. has
approached the question of foreign re-
laticns with Q recognition of how vital
the economic aspects will be on both
sides OF the Atlantic. The cutting down
of the budgets In Europe Is no less q
matter Of concern here than the posi-
bic assistance that VIII be rendered to
the peace movement as a whole, II q
satisfactory arrangement can be made
to limit armament.
Mr.. Hoover feels that until an agree
ment is reached on what constitutes y
satisfactory am1unt of naval protection
for each country there viii necessarily
be mutual suspicion, If not distrust, and
that as soon as the whole naval ques-
ton Is out OF the way further steps may
be taken 10 make the Kellogg anti-war

Were 1t not for prohibition, he said,

which In 1928 would have meant an

He declared the resulting savings

Of the heavy expenditures that already
have begun I'm connection with naval
competition. The last conference called
by President Coolidge would have been
o success, it Is known, except for the
navalists, who were able to influence
the British ministry. The Labor party,
however, Is not likely to listen 10 ex-
IRENE viewpoints from the naval con-
tingent and is much more likely to fol-
low Q conciliatory course which will
lead to an agreement.
It is presumed also that once the
United States and Great Britain have
agreed, the other naval powers will
concur In the plan, whatever 1t may be.
because II the two leading navieS are
limited 1t will also be easy for other
countries to accept a restriction. There
never was a time when the so-called
naval element was weaker than 1t IS

IT have no particular concern, politi-

reputable bucket shop In New York City,
and am disposed to think that draw
ing me into this controversy IS purely
gratuitious and without excuse. It Is
q fact that about 10 days before the
recent presidential election certain af-
f1davits we're sent to me from New York,
setting forth some Of the facts which
appeared in Thursdays newspaper &C.
count Of Bishop Cannon's transaction.
I was not little dismayed at the facts
stated and Immediately notified Bishop
Cannon Of the charges against him.
He appeared TO resent the informa.
ton conveyed In my dispatch ana gave

Naturally, declined TO use the
the charges against Bishop Cannon 81
gambling in stocks on margin with an
obscure and allegedly unlawful bucket
shop, wiring the parties who sent me

muzzle Bishop Cannon 10 days before
the election win, apprehend. be re-
garded by every intelligent person -
pure nonsense. Aside from my unwil.
ingness to be responsible for the dis
closure I knew perfectly wei that 1t
would have Q bad political effect and
enable Bishop Cannon to claim that he
was being prosecuted for opinions sake.

Moreover, cannot comprehend how
this can be. II Bishop Cannon's stock

tirely proper and as far above critic
cism Is the bishop insists, how can pub.
lication of the facts be regarded % an
attack on his character? AZ I have
already suggested, If Bishop Cannon
has done nothing that would discredit
his episcopal ofiice, these disclosures Of
his stock transactions would tend to
strengthen, rather than TO weaken, his
political influence. But, after all. It Is
nothing to me, and would not care
