The conference has adopted "Ameri-

Washington. Its procedure henceforth
will be mapped out by what already is

the machinery through which the two

LONDON, January 29.-Whefl one of
the most knowing but highest Tipped
delegates now in the limelight in Lon
don at the Naval Disarmament Confer
ence was asked this morning by The
Stars correspondent to summarize the
conference situation at present in the
briefest possible terms, his answer was,
THE ice is breaking"
Nothing could more vividly picture
the state Of affairs. 1t is an amazingly
graphic description, not only of condi-
tons when the conference opened, but
of all that has happened since. The
Ice metaphor f1ts precisely. The dele
gates of all of the powers entered the
arena with their real purposes in Lon
don-apart from the broad and already
known general program of disarma-
ment-frozen into complete invisibility
Procedure Starts Freeze-up.
The attitude of the various delega-
tons toward one another was warm
enough as long as none of them was
asked to yield anything The moment
specific claims and counterclairnS came
into view warmth evaporated and the
freeze set in. This was the case with
even such supposedly innocent contro-
verSial matters as to whether question
A or question B should come first on
the agenda.
The endless hours of private CONVEX
sation which have taken place in the
past INSTRUMENTATION which has left
many of the delegates, including Sec
rotary of State Stimson and his hard
working contingent, utterly brain fag-
ged at the end of the day-have been
devoted to the all-around thawing out
process. Now, as this delegate has said,
"the ice is breaking"

will be held amid "pitiless publicity"

Will Rogers
Says:

LONDON, England, January o.
These are happy times in England.
The whole country is celebrating
the victory of King George over Big
Bill Thompson and Chicago. It's
especially gratifying over here, for
at one time things looked very bad
for the King, as Big Bill had told
him to keep his snoot out of Chicago
affairs, which was a terrific blow to
his majesty, as he had always taken
such a personal interest and pride
in Chicago. 1t was really one of
his most cherished municipalities
and to find that they are still loyal
to him.. though even out of funds,
pleaSes his royal highness beyond
measure. Well, the conference met
and appointed commission to meet
today and appoint delegation who
will eventually appoint Subcom-
mittee to draw up ways and means
of finding out what to start with
first. Yours,
