LONDON, England, March Partial
or complete failure of the great London
Naval Conference, while by no means a
certainty, is now so obviously a posi-
bility that already on every hand in
inside circles two questions are being
asked. First, what would be the stu
alton in the world after such failure?
Second, who would be to blame?
The secretive, dilatory and confused
methods of the conference, which will
doubtless mark it in diplomatic annals
as unique of its kind, have perhaps
tended to obscure from the public the
deeper issues involved. On the sur
face, the discussion concerns classified
ton OF ships, system of requirements
and allotments of tonnage. Underneath
it is the whole set of relations of the
great powers to one another which
may be modified.
The breakdown of the Geneva Naval
Conference in 1927 was received with
relative Indifference by world opinion,
yet it led soon afterward to such bitter
ness between Great Britain and the
United States that the peace-loving ele-
mentS of both countries were actually
frightened. The meeting of President
Hoover and Prime Minister Macdonald
at the Rapidan camp put an end to that
profound tension. Great Britain and
the United States are working here in
relative harmony. This harmony is
likely to continue in some form or other
even if the conference fails completely.
The danger is elsewhere. It Is in Anglo
French relations
Experience of the last few years
tends to suggest that France and Great
Britain are the two pillars of European
order. Whenever they begin to lean
apart the whole structure shakes. Every
serious Franco British quarrel since the
World War, it Is pointed out, has been
a signal for Europe'S diScontented ele-
mentor example, Russian Commun-
lists, German Nationalist, italian FaS-
cists, Hungarian Irridentists and Balkan
Comitadjis-t renew their agitation.
Through Russian and Russian propa-
ganda this agitation even reaches
farthest Asia and affects China and
India.
A breakdown of the London Confer
ence in a series of mutual recrimina-
tons between France and Great Britain,
with perhaps even naval building COM
petition tending to intensity the ma
tional feeling of both sides, is there
fore not contemplated with equanimity
by the best informed delegates here.
At the very worst, and supposing that
real agreement between France and
Great Britain over ship tonnages proves
entirely impossible, the chances are
that some scheme will be sought
which will screen the immediate fall
ure and leave the question open for
adjustment by further negotiations in
the near future.
When it comes to the ungracious
matter of fixing the blame for the
present deadlock the London Daily
Telegraph seems to express a wide
spread feeling when it declares that the
two obstacles now blocking the con-
ference are first and foremost the

SOVIET RELIGIOUS
WAR DENOUNCED
Dr.. Walsh and Rabbi Simon
Speak on Conditions in
Russian Domain.

Soviet Russia's war on religion was
denounced by DR.. Edmund Walsh, S. j.,
regent of the Georgetown University
School of Foreign Service, and DR..
Abram Simon, rabbi of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation, in addresses last
night.
I'VE are witnessing by the Soviet
state one of the most savage attacks
that history records on one of the
greatest of all the inalienable rights of
man." the Georgetown educator de-
clared in the first of a series of weekly
lectures on the trend of political events
in Russia. DR.. Simon, in a sermon,
warned that Russia will ultimately have
to pay the penalty for closing churches
and Synagogues in its domain.
DR.. Walsh's Comment.
Because he is to speak at the mass
meeting called by Right Rev. James E
Freeman, Bishop of Washington, in
which he said that "ProtestantS, Cath
olicS and Jews would protest in the
name of humanity in behalf of Chris
tianity," DR.. Walsh made only passing
reference to the religious issue in his
first lecture which was devoted to a
historical sketch of Nicholas Lenin
founder of the Soviet State. But the
flaming red rebellion in Moscow against
religion dates back to Lenin," DR.. Walsh
asserted in recounting the great boil
shevik leaders early antagonism to all
forms of religion.
The Police Department took precau-
tons at Georgetown College last night
to guard against any possible disturb
ance from Communistic sympathizers
who last year gained admission to the
building during DR.. Walsh's lectures
on Russia.
Destruction of Churches Cited.
DR.. Walsh cited number of instance!
in which churches in Russia have eithel
been destroyed or closed, in referring
| to the defense of the religious polio!
made by Alexis Rykov, president Of TIT
council of comissarS.
He does not explain" said DR.. Walsh
why the government infrequently I'M
poses confiscatory tax on church prop
| erty, sometimes to the extent of so PEE
cent of its assessed value, and theI
acquisitions the church when the I'M
poverished parishioners are unable II
raise the annual tribute"
| DR.. Walsh characterized the Russian
revolution as "the most important single
political event since the fall Of tn
Roman Empire"

Cardinal Sees Prompt Response to
Pope's Protest.
BY the Associated Press.
BELFAST, Northern ireland, March
christian feeling all over the world,
Cardinal Macrory says today in his
Lenten pastoral to the Armagh Arch
diocese. has responded promptly to the
protest of Pope Plus against systematic
efforts of the Soviet government to
Danish all revealed religion from Rus
STA"
The cardinal alluded to efforts being
made to prove there has been no re-
ligious persecution in that unhappy
country" an dcontinued: ut may be
some of the charges made in the past
are exaggerated or even false. It mat
tiers little. We know enough and know
1t with certainty to be convinced that
the campaign against God and revealed
religion is being carried on there
relentleSsly."
The cardinal alluded to assertions
that Soviet Russia was being maligned
because she now is workers state. -
He answered declaring nothing could
be further from the truth. Labor as
such has nothing to fear from the
Pope or the Catholic Church. On the
contrary they have ever been its con-
SiStent friends and advocates.
But Soviet Russia, in denying exist
ecne Of God and in deliberately bring
ing up its youth in ignorance of their
creator, is tearing away as far as it
can the foundations of its civilization
and is constituting itself menace to
the world"

Chief Weaver dropped with jagged
wound along the left side of his head
as he led storming party.
Floehr, after an argument over his
daughter Elsie, a school teacher at
Petersburg, w. Va, shot his wife in the
breast and drove his son William, 26,
from the house.
Armed with two guns and supplied
with more than peck of cartridges,
Floehr ran from window to window,
sniping at the authorities called by
William.
The Defiance Howitzer Company of
the National Guard set up a 37-milli-
meter field piece and ripped the house
with nine one-pound shells, but F1oehr
held out.
Finally a citizen, whose name was
not learned, crept inside and planted
eight sticks of dynamite. The discharge
shattered the upper story to bits, and
attackers rushed in to find Floehr dying.
A bullet wound in his head indicated
! he had determined upon suicide.

FRANCE-U. S. SEEN TO BLAME
IF NAVAL CONFERENCE FAILS
Tonnage Demands of Former and Amer
lean Policy on Security Pacts Held
In Way of Success.

French tonnage figures, but second, the
refusal of the United States to enter
any sort of new security pact. There
are signs both in Great Britain and on
the continent of Europe outside of
France that this inclination to link the
names of France and the United States
in this way is only just the beginning.
Between France and u. S.
The American figures are based on
parity with Great Britain. The British
figures are based on the two-power
standard vis-a-vis the European con-
tinent-that is to say, the British navy
must equal any two continental navies.
Italy claims parity with France, hence
the British navy must be twice as
strong as the French. The French
tonnage claims, as they now stand,
would oblige Great Britain to increase
its own figures to a point unacceptable
to the United States. Great Britain is
thus squeezed between the United States
ON one hand and France on the other
Then how can the French be per-
suaded to reduce their figures? Only
by some new form of security, it is
Said--either a Mediterranean treaty or
a treaty to confer in case a breach of
the Kellogg pact is threatened, or both.
But Great Britain feels that it is I'M
able to enter any such agreements
without the United States, and the
United States refuses even to consider
such an agreement.
Individually every member of the
American delegation here would be
willing to discuss pacts if the French
cared to bring forward their precise
text. President Hoover personally, 1t
is said, would not be averse to the idea
Mr.. Stimson as Secretary of State
even feels that strengthening the KEEL
logg pact by machinery for comforting
would be useful in the conduct of our
foreign policies. Yet collectively the
delegation now admits that nothing can
be done along these lines.
Senate Stands in Way.
Why? Because the United States
Senate is described as being completely
hostile to complicating a naval treaty
by any new pactS. The Senate, 1t is
said, is pretty thoroughly at outs with
the President and many Senators would
be prompt to oppose new pact if only
in order to thwart President Hoover.
The Senate may also object, it is said,
If the British, to meet the French
hgures, put their own up, and so force
ours up, too, or even if the British
insist upon putting into a possible
three-power naval treaty clause giving
them a free hand in case the French
continue to build.
Yet, when the British turn to us and
say, well, If you don't want us to put
our figures up, help us get the French
figures down." our policy thus far has
been to reply: THAT is a question be-
tween you and France. It does not
concern us. We can't concern ourselves
in a purely European question"
1t appears, therefore, to most Euro
peans, that the American Presidents
constitutional right to direct our for
eign affairs is merely nominal. The
real control lies with our Senate, with
which, however, it is impossible for
foreign governments to negotiate except
indirectly through the President and
his diplomatic staff.
