Resembles Work Of Congress.
The work of the conference will re-
semble the work of Congress in Wash"
ington. It will be done almost wholly
by committee. Although the broad
fundamentals which the United States
and Great Britain would like to achieve
in both limitation and reduction are
simple themselves, they bristle with
countless angles. Endless conversation
must ensue before the differences are
ironed out and the way to an agreement
paved. The American delegates spent
a large part of their time aboard the
George Washington familiariZing them
selves with the vast complexities they
the case with Senators Reed and Rob-
inson and Ambassador Morrow, who are
less acquainted with conference affairs
than Secretary Stimson and Secretary
Adams, who concentrated on them for
many weeks. Ambassador Morrow al
ready has established himself as the
most inveterate worker of the delega-
ton. Practically all of his time aboard
ship has been devoted to studious ex-
ploration of the conference issues. He
already has been cast in the role of
chief conciliator, especially when tick
fish political questions, as distinguished
from purely naval questions, require So
luton.
Maximum Rest Obtained.
When France raises the Mediterra-
mean or security" guarantee problem
Ambassador Morrow of Mexico will be
afforded a special field for the display

ASSOClaIeu STeSS 0Jdn WIltcT.
O.. S. GEORGE WASHINGTON,
January IS tP1.-This ship, carrying
the American delegation to the Lon
don Naval Conference. before dawn to-
day ran head-on into gale with wind
blowing 30 miles an hour. Giant seas
smashed portfolios, mounted the decks
and cut the speed Of the boat to 10
knots.
Despite manifest difficulties which
are now known to be strewn in their
way, the delegation still hoped and
shaped its calculations on the basis of
a five-power treaty arising from their
efforts.
It was recognized that to achieve
that aim, most careful procedure would
be necessary, but Col. Henry L. Slim
son, head Of the delegation, and his
colleagues were prepared fully to give
most painstaking effort for q common
agreement.
Consultations Completed.
During the voyage begun last Thurs
day the delegation has completed its
final preparatory consultations in adj
I dition to finding time for much needed
rest and recreation. Today problems
of the conference were thrust virtually
aside while all members of the party
occupied themselves in packing and
making ready to quit the ship.
The weather upset the plans Of Capt.
A. B. Randall to berth his ship at
Plymouth late tonight. It is now not
expected to reach Plymouth until Fri
day morning. The delegation will take
q train Immediately for London.
It is the American delegations hope
that as far as possible the negotiations
be directed specifically to the purpose
of the conference.-the is, consideration
Of what changes can be made in the
battleship provisions of the Washing
ton treaty and what limitations can be
placed on other categories.
VIII Listen Patiently.
Members Of the delegation have been
unwilling to comment on the possibility
that other elements, such as the French
suggestion of Mediterranean security
pacts, may become seriously involved
with these purposes, II can be taken
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-01-16

for granted, however, that the Amer
leans will listen patiently to any pro-
posal designed to gain the desired ends.
In some of the suggestions thus far
advanced such as the Mediterranean
security pacts the delegation feels 1t has
no concern while others hitherto dis
cussed are not likely to gain the Amer
leans approval.
as the Americans are concerned will be
to permit free discussion and to place
no restrictions on the early stages of
the negotiations while the national
viewpoints are being developed fully.

are equally hopeful that no one Of them
is insurmountable. If the American
people read into President Hoover's re-
cent suggestion that the conference may
last three or four months, the deter
mination of Secretary Stimson and his
coadjutors to fight 1t out on conciliatory
lines II it takes all Spring may prove
that the country will not be far wrong

THE MISSING LINK"

we know that Col Otto F OIL
sor. general manager Of the Alas
ka Railroad, has endorsed the
cor. .r9ction of the Missing Link
road which would connect Mile Il,
Seward Kenai Lake Highway,
with the 80 miles Of wonderful
highway beginning at Mile 20,
Moose Pass; we also know that
it would be Of great benefit to
the forestry department who look
on the project with favor as it
would eliminate at one stroke
considerable fire hazard; we also
know that Commissioner Flory, OF
the Department Of Agriculture
has voiced his hearty APP
proval for ultimate construction
and everyone knows that the cit
izens of the districts adjacent are
100 percent for it.
But in addition, new factor
has entered; the Williamsons sill
yer Fox Ranch, Just above Law
ing.
Without question the William
sons will have the largest and
most modern fox ranch in Alaska
by next summer as they propose
to double the present size which
consists of 80 pens The only vital
problem concerning their invest
ment, approximately 100000, is
the matter of feed Up to the pre-
sent time they have been import
ing this true, much is gathered
in the immediate area but with
the construction Of the Missing
Link" road their hunters and
food supply men could range for
hundreds Of miles; by automobiles.
No one has any conception, I'M
less they have visited the ranch,
what an enormous enterprise has
been undertaken at Stewards
back door. Every effort should be
continually made to procure this
road as quickly as possible.
We know lack Of funds hamper
the desires of the Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads. as are other depart
m ents from often carrying
forward much needed projects.
but If It could be arranged to
squeeze out sufficient funds for
this project, the people Of the
districts will be forever grateful
to the B Of P r.
HOPE springs eternal Ii the
human breast at this season Of
tile year when election returns
arc coming in and the Nenana ice
il expected to 60 out any time,
there by increasing some ones
wealth BY red hot 10000 bones.
The practibility Of Col Otto E.
Ohlsons management Of the
Alaska Railroad is again seen in
the manner in which he travels
over the line to inspect the road.
Instead of riding over the belt in
the private business car at his
disposal he either pumps hand
car like regular fellow or boards
speeder And boy, he don't miss
anything, what we meant
1t would be generous impulse
on the part Of Captain Hardy Of
the u S. Geodetic Survey vessel
Surveyor, if he would instruct the
members of his crew, as they cruise
about the inlets, bays and sounds,
to keep sharp watch for evil

man, Russell Merrill, and his ship
which flew into oblivion last fall.
