Replies to Johnson

Washington. June 20 P-Reply- Ing to Senator Johnson's criticism ' pf the London naval treaty, Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, who partici- pated in it's formation, last night praised the pact and urged it's rati- 6cation.
 He spoke by radio in answer to en address similarly delivered by Johnson the night before. Much of bis comment was directed at the re- marks of Johnson
 The treaty, Reed said, Removes Competition in naval construction. Rmong the three leading powers in he world gives three countries a holiday from battleship building turing the next seven years and Faves the taxpayers Of the United Ftates an outlay of $400,000,0 ,00O on Feplacement of battleships alone"
 Home Waters Safe
 Continuing. he said:
 Tt allows the peoples of these great nations 10 rest secure in knowledge that no one of the three fan be attacked in its home waters by any nation on earth. It makes plaln 10 all the world that none Of he three countries is designing war Lpon either of the others. IL pro- notes to an important degree the International friendship that we all Eesire."
 The speaker went on 10 say the pact was opposed by the big navy fpokesmen of each Of the three tountries and the same things sad by Senator Johnson are being ex- pressed in London and Tokyo. He Expressed confidence that common tense will prevail and the treaty be FatiAed"
 If, as 2 matter Of fact, Great Britain does not want eight inch frulsers," he continued, then you Flll readily see that the treaty Forces her to have 5 Of the kind of Fhips that she does not want, az eregstlng 146.000 tons. while we are pnly forced to have 73,000 tons of he kind of ships we are supposed hot to want.
 Of course. the truth is. and every hdmlral on both sides of the contro- tersy admits, that q certain number pf each type are absolutely essential or q hal~0Ced fleet. And it IS well 0 remeu 4r that when the general board va unhampered by any treaty hnd could have built eight inch Fruisers if 1T chose, it built our 1C Omahas which carry six inch guns.

Casting the d

Former Pres. Calvin Coolidge is on the list of those
who may be named for the Sanborn succession. Cal
vim Is cautious and conservative. He thinks as much
OF the dollar as any living American. Property rights
are very near to his heart and his brain. Where did
he get a judicial temperament He has been an Of
flee holder for so years. He began as a young law
yer in pursuit Of the law. He filled every office from
town clerk in his adopted village TO that Of president
Of the United States.
He never encountered a Waterloo in his life.
He put down a strike Of miserably paid Officers
with his military reserves-this while governor OF
Massachusetts,. Sen. Hiram johnson OF California
was offered second place on the ticket with warren
c.. Harding. Sen. Hi regarded 1t as an insult to his
dignity and his ability and sneered at the tender as
well as the tenderers. Calvin was named. He was
elected. Harding died and death was kind to him
when it took him away.
A reminder to Texans that no governor has died in
office for more than 60 years. There IS a lieutenant
governor to be named this year. A governor may be
elected who will pass out Of the picture and a lieu
tenant governor step in. 1t pays to be prepared.

The threat Of the Wall street crash to reduce in

a larger tax this year than last, when they set a rec

in the last year Of his administration and predic-
tons given a daily broadcast by Col. Brisbane and
so called financial and economic topic writers Of
America From Calvin to Arthur they said it could
not be done. We'll, It happened. And now Secy. Mel
