bY Ontfed Press
MIAMI, Fla, April 28.-Some-
where off the lower coast of Florida,
a lone mariner, Nicholas Congo
polous, slept aboard his sixteen-foot
sailboat today. Perhaps dreaming
of the day three months hence when
he hopes to reach his native city Of
Athens, Greece.
Gongopolous' tiny craft is believed
the smallest ever to attempt to
conquer the Atlantic ocean. He took
it out of Miami Harbor late Sun
day, as hundreds gathered at the
docks to bid him bon voyage. A
Catholic priest blessed the venture.
Aboard the 'sixteen-foot sailboat
are sixty gallons of fresh water,
canned meats, hardtack, canned
beans, other foods, also four extra
sets of sails to propel the boat
along the golf stream toward
Gibraltar and beyond.
Gongopolous said on leaving he
planned to sail the boat at night
and sleep during the day.

COOL RECEPTION
DUE IN SENATE
FOR SEA PACT
London Treaty, However, Is
Viewed Best Possible
Under Conditions.
BIZ WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
seripps-Howard Forein Editor

WASHINGTON, April 2s-The
naval treaty which the American
delegation is bringing back with it
Tuesday. from London, is In for
some tough Shedding when the
President submits 1t to the United
States senate.
Nevertheless It was the best that
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Five things stood in the
way Of better treaty.
Britain's tradition Of ruling the
waves.
Belief that America will accept in
eriority rather than spend the
money to build up to parity if
British tonnage is kept high enough.
Doubt as to the real meaning of
ne Kellogg pact and Americas S
Jews on freedom of the seas.
Frances fear that England in
ends to wash her hands Of Europe
Italy's demand for parity with
trance.
From the start, Premier Mac
Donald was aware that if he
agreed to cut down British tonnage
materially, he would be thrown out
of Office.
Labor Would Lose
A member of the cabinet told me
that If an election were held today
with naval reduction as the prin-
cipal issue, the labor government
would come out loser.
Nevertheless. the private opinion
Of Premier Macdonald was that if
America had gone ahead after 1922
and built up to parity with Britain,
he would have faced quite a diff
ferent situation. 1t was his belief
that he could have persuaded the
British public to go along with him
in reducing the feet if, at the Same
time, he could have shown that
America also was scrapping ships,
ton for ton, with Britain.
But America did not have the
ships to scrap. She only had q
program, and British public opinion
never would had sanctioned the
scrapping of actual warships while
America merely scrapped blueprints
particularly since the ma jority of
Englishmen are convinced that
America will not build up to parity
so long as the British fleet remains
sufficiently large.
Might Lack Courage
The British are convinced that
congress. spurred on by big buSi-
ness which saw billions of profits in
trading with a violator of the Kel-
logg pact, would lack the courage,
when the pinch came, to shut of
trade with such violator.
Thus until the Kellogg pact is
implemented by the addition of a
consultative clause, or otherwise is
strengthened, Britain proposes to
maintain a fleet capable of per-
forming blockades.
As to France, her attitude was
dictated by a well-grounded fear
that Britain, instead of extending
her commitments as guarantor of
peace on the continent, actually is
desirous of Withdrawing from. or al
least minimizing, those already I'M
dertaken. So she concluded, she
would look to her own defenses as
she saw them.
Another naval conference now is
scheduled for 1885. But unless the
above obstacles can be removed be
tween now and that time, by diplo-
matte exchanges or otherwise, its
failure may be set down as already
certain.
