ated his original stand in the mat

one proposition and intends to
stand pat on It. namely, that he
will give Rangerville the money

tons, out OF the sixth million bond
issue when II is sold.
This practically effaces the plan
evolving from the gathering OF
chamber OF commerce directors, and
road men. which in substance pro-
vided that Logan go ahead and
spend $4,000 for the 3l3 miles OF

ONDON.-The first and what
might perhaps be described as
the decorative stage of the Naval
- Conference Is ended In this
stage there were three parts:
First, that Of introduction while the
delegates were arriving and meeting;
second, the dramatic climax when the
conference was formally opened in the
royal gallery of the House of Lords by
the King himself; finally, the stage in
which the delegates first met in a body
around the green table and took stock
OF each other. As contraSted to the
Paris or the Washington Conference,
one must say at once that, despite the
rather grandioSe circumstances of a
royal address, the London Conference
has so lar proved less absorbing spec
tacle. In the London press it has
fought losing battle. Among the
general public it has commanded vastly
less interest than did either of its great
predecessors.
When one turns from the spectacular
70 the more prosaic, to the question of
what Light the early days have shed
upon future prospects, one must say
eonestly that we are about where we
eere before. We do know as a result
OF the first contacts with the French
that they have not come to wreck the
conference, either wilfully or through
intransigent obstinacy. Tardieu will
play ball If he can; he would prefer to
go home with treaty rather than with
the dangerous glory of having wrecked
the meeting.
We do know just as clearly that our
own delegation has reached a clear,
definite decision to insist that the
question of parity in cruisers shall be
the frst point discussed between us
and the British, that no consideration
Of battleships shall be weighed until
. the cruiser question is settled, and
finally that all naval tonnage questions
shall be disposed of in one treaty.
q. S. Has No One-Man Show.
Similarly we know that the United
States Is the only country represented
by a delegation as contrasted to the
one-man shows which the British and
Italians are putting on here. Mr. is it
less clear that in our delegation per-
haps the decisive work of negotiation
viii be done by two Senators and one
near Senator-that is, by Robinson,
Reed and Morrow-and the view of the
Senate, which is always in the back
ground, viii be powerfully voiced at all
times.
When it comes to the question of the
purposes of the other delegations, moth
ing Is yet clear. It is fair to say that
Macdonald is still standing by the Rap
tdan agreement, which provided for
parity in cruisers on a basis of 339, 900
to $4,000 tons. But it is clear that he
Is on the one side being subjected to
terrific admiralty pressure backed by
the Tory press, and on the other is
confronted by French and italian pro-
grams irreconcilable with British two
power standard ideas.
The central point of interest in the
first days was the French position. We
know now that France is here to obtain
some sort of guarantee pact, presumably

| limited to the Mediterranean. But it
is at one time doubtful how little France
will take and how much Britain is will
| ing to give; that Is, whether France
would be satisfied with some new ver-
! sion of the Kellogg pact. or Britain
would be willing to go the length of a
real Mediterranean Locarno. Both ex-
| tremeS seem doubtful.
As to Japan and Italy, they are on
the surface the most difficult of the
delegations, because both have to de-
mand what are actually prestige terms.
Italy asks parity with France, Japan a
little advance on her Washington ratio
Since the representatives of pre-Fascist
Italy obtained parity for Italy in bat
tleShipS at Washington, MusSolini'S dele
gate cannot face his master if he fails
where Albertini and Schanzer succeed
ed. In the domestic and political situ-
alton in Japan, Wakasuki's needs are
not less eXigent. Neither Italy nor
Japan wants more ships, but the right
to have ships they do not want has
become matter of honor at home as it
is a matter of political concern abroad
In general, however, none of the
major issues has been approached. And
the American delegation has definitely
assumed a position Of waiting on one
hand for Italy and France to come to
rightly perceive that Britain's naval
strength is contingent upon French and
Italian and perhaps a little on Japan
csc strength, and we must wait for the
clearing up of these points.
Opening InauspiciOus.
In one respect it is clear that the
conference has opened rather tnau-
spiciouSly. The very great nervousness
on the part of the principal delegates
has led to the immediate adoption of
those methods of secrecy which proved
fatal to the success of Paris IL years
ago. This nervousness is the result of
clear perception that the problems
are full of thorny points and the ex-
press battles between the national cap
italS.
On the other hand, period of ut
ter silence has already inevitably pro-
NOTED the circulation of many sensa-
tional rumorS and reports demanding
immediate emphatic denials which
never overtake the original lie. Even
more serious is the opportunity afforded
for mendaciouS and propaganda ma
neuvers which are even more poisonous.
To sum up, in the first phase of the
conference, nothing but preliminarieS
have been touched upon, but in this
period it has become clear that the
conference will be long, two months at
least, that it will be excessively diff
cult to achieve any result by reason Of
domestic political conditions in most of
the nations here represented. But on
the other hand, nothing has yet oc-
Cured to make eventual success seem
unlikely and, as have said, fears of
premature collapse due to French policy
have been dissipated. In a word, II the
actual problems have lost nothing Of
their formidable proportions it has
been disclosed that the psychological
conditions have been exaggerated.

Vatican Wins Odd Suit
in Hungarian Court

A delicate point of law, growing out
Of the fluctuations in European money
values following the war. has been
settled by Hungarian court in favor
of the Vatican. The case grew out Of
the will left by a Budapest citizen,
Michele Bakony, who died in 1907 leav-
ing 1000 crowns to the Holy See, the
amount to be paid after the death of
his spouse, who, it so happened, re-
manned alive until 1927. At that time
the equivalent of 1000 crows in Italian
money was cents. and the Vatican
consequently refused to accept the leg
acy, taking the matter to court and
demanding the equivalent of the sum
which Bakony actually had intended
to grant the Holy See. Now, after two
years of discussion, the Hungarian
court has decided to give the Vatican
10 per cent of what it has demanded,
or approximately $40. This being con-
siderably more than q Nickel the Vati-
