LONDON, January "a. = Col.
Henry L. Stimson, American Sec
rotary of State and head of the
American Naval Conference dele
cation, in his first conference
with the entire press representa-
ton at st. James Palace today
described progress of the Naval
Conference thus far as every sat-
isfactory and encouraging"
At about the same time an off,
cial communique was issued which
said:
"The French and British dele
cations met this morning at 10
Downing street to consider a re-
port which the committee of ex-
perts had been asked to prepare.
This report shows encouraging
results on certain points and it
was decided to invite the experts
to continue their conversations"
Secretary Stimson told the
American newspaper men he had
indicated to others his willingness
to forego three seats now oc-
cupied by advisers at plenary ses-
sions Of the conference in order
TO make room for representatives
Of three American press aSsocia-
tionS.
Col. Stimson said that he knew there
was considerable criticism at the ex-
clusion of the press from the meetings
of the delegates, but that he knew Of
no reason for it except in the size of
the room.
Believes Others Agree.
He said he felt sure the other dele
cations held views similar to his and
that the press should be admitted to
the plenary sessions, although they
thus far had not expressed themselves
formally thereon.
Secretary Stimson described the in
terchange of views between the delega-
tons as the hard preliminary work
always necessary for such conferences.
This hard work does not represent bad
news or indicate a crisis"
Mr.. Stimson's only appointment bea
fore departing this afternoon for War
rem House will be a meeting with the
Italians at the Ritz The Secretary

urday before going to the country for
the week end.
The American delegation decided. it
was stated earlier in the day, to press
for consideration of the cruiser ques-
tiop or auxiliary war vessels before
other categorieS are taken up.
Col. Stimson was understood to have
put forward cruisers as comprising one
of the most important problems facing
the conference, the one which should
be met and disposed of first.
Have Tentative Agreement.
The British and Americans, as a re-
suit of negotiations in the Summer and
Fall Of last year already have reached
a tentative agreement on this category,
and the Americans feel that the entire
problem should be settled as quickly

Claim Linking Of Government Will
Demonstrations Unfair.


MOSCOW, January "a L4p.-Russian
diplomatic circles today expressed sur
prise at the announcement that the
Mexican government had recalled its
entire legation staff in Moscow because
of recent communist demonstrations
in front of Mexican legations In, Wash

The Soviet foreign office and the
Mexican legation said that they had
had no official notification of Mexico'S
action this afternoon. The Mexican
Minister is for the moment absent in
Berlin and the legation is in the charge
of the first secretary, who said that
papers of recall for his staff had not
yet been asked from the Soviet gov
eminent.
Soviet officials argued that even If
the communist demonstrations had &C.

was not fair to link the Russian gov
eminent with them. They affirmed
that such manifestations certainly did
not constitute sufficient grounds for

LOBBYING WITNESS
SNEERS AT SENATE
Chairman CaraWay Engages
in Personal Tilt in
Investigation.

BY the Associated Press.
After asserting that the actions of
the Senate lobby committee seemed
so useless a proceeding" Arthur L.
Faubel, secretary of the American
Tariff League, surprised the committee
today with the assertion that the Sen
ate should take a subordinate position
to the House Of Representatives, as in
the English system of government.
FaubePs criticism OF the committee
and his views on government grew out
of a question by committee member
whether the league was lobby or
ganization.
Says Press Against Senate.
Replying that it was a matter Of in
difference ito us whether we are known
as lobbying organization or not
Faubel said the attitude of the coun-
try's newspapers had disapproved the
actions of the committee.
This whole to-do and discussion, ,
he said, didn't seem to me to make
very much difference"
"A rose is a rose by any other name, .
he added.
Eyes, you and Arnold smell Just the

mittee retorted. He was referring to
j. A. Arnold, manager of the Southern

well, you might give it another
status" Faubel replied.
Senator Blaine, Republican. of Wis
cousin, asked If he wanted a king To
appoint lords and peers and dukes to
the Senate.
Il thought maybe you had ambitions
to be duke" Blaine told him.
"If so. I hope you'll be one toe.
Faubel told Blaine.
Pressed by Senator Walsh, Democrat
Montana, Faubel said he thought the
action OF the Senate in condemning the
employment of Charles L. Eyanson nj
the Connecticut Manufacturers Asso-
citation by Senator Bingham, Republic
can, of Connecticut, had been generally
oppIOVSQ.
