DOUBTS SUCCESS
Of ARMS PARLEY
Arthur Henderson Views
Prospects as Most Un-
promising.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, May 31.-Arthur Hender-
son. president of the Disarmament
Conference, said today that never
before have prospects for success of
the conversations been so unpromising.
"The clouds have never hung so
low." he said.
Henderson made the gloomy obser-
vation after talks with Louis Barthou,
French foreign minister; Sir John
Simon, British foreign secretary, and
the delegates from Spain, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
Representatives of powers not in
volved in the differences between
France and Great Britain met at
frequent intervals in an effort to de-
wise a plan to save the conference.
Recently the neutral powers had ad-
vocated some rearmament for Ger
many, coupled with security.
Serious consideration is being given
the plea of .Iaxim Litvinoff, the So
viet's indefatigable commissar for for
eign affairs, that the conference be
turned into a permanent anti-war
body.
Possibility of Plan.
The great possibility of this plan,
observers pointed out, is that it might
provide means for the United States,
Russia, Japan, and even Germany
none a League member-to collaborate
regularly with Geneva without joining
the League or subscribing to its
pledges.
Because of the situation created by
speeches yesterday. particularly that
of Louis Barthou, French foreign min
lister, in which he ridiculed British
proposals and attacked Germany, no
session was planned today.
Feelings of some delegates. obviously
ruffled, we're expected to cool by post
ponement of a meeting until tomor-
row. In addition, members were given a
chance for private discussions.
Already pessimistic, the conference
was made more so by the apparent split
between France and England. Its con-
sequences, it was feared, would be far
reaching.
But in the event the quarrel is for
gotten, delegates generally believed,
the Russian idea can furnish basis
for continuation of the conference.
Project Not Repudiated.
Sir John Simon, British foreign Sec
retary, did not repudiate the Litvinoff
project, but merely emphasized that
security pacts were not sufficient and
should be accompanied by disarma-
ment agreement.
After Barthou's speech, in which he
accused Germany of violating the
Versailles treaty by rearming, Sir John
called newspaper men together and
said the remarks would not be allowed
to affect Franco-British relations.
Barthou opposed London's disarma-
ment proposals.
Sir John explained that Barthou
was accustomed to speaking to Parlia-
ment at home and that 1t was his first
appearance at Geneva before an inter-
national gathering.

BALLINCER ON ALBURY

Kenneth BalIinger, Fl0rida's political
news commentator, who is one of the best
informed political observers in the state,
referred to William v. Albury, in the fol-
lowing highly complimentary language:
g.. William v. Albury of Key West,
that active young barrister of the Island
who has developed into one of the best
tacticians in the legislature"
What Mr.. Ballinger says about Mr.
Albury is not news TO The Citizen which,
by letter and by word of mouth, has been
told by Floridians, who have seen Mr.. AL
bury 'in action" in the legislature, that he
was among the ablest- and most wideawake
fighters in the legislature, and that no
other county in the state was more capably
represented in the house than Monroe
county.
However, Key Westers generally are
not aware of that fact regarding Mr.. Al
bury, which further corroborates the truth
of the old saying that prophet is without
honor in his own country.
You people in Key West" Flor
ldian remarked in The Citizen office
when the last legislature was in session,
apparently don't know that in Albury you
have one of the best legislators in Talla-
hassee, man who is always on tiptoe to
promote and conserve the interests of his
county and his state"

CRITICISM WHEN NOBODY KNOWS
(Star, Elktun, MIDI

Marlen E. Pew, the editor of Editor
and Publisher, newspaper mans maya
zine, relates that President Roosevelt has
asked some newspaper men, where is your
criticism?'
The president insisted that the govern
nent could make mistakes, that officials
were certain to blunder and he wanted the
newspaper men to know that criticism els
the best kind of backing and the only re-
quest we make is that you be prompt about
it."
Since the resignation of Mr.. Sprague
and the opening of the barage laid down
by the gold dollar group there is no lack
of criticism per Sc What is lacking, how
ever, is constructive criticism that is able
to say you are wrong, but here lis the right
course"
Truth of the matter is that nobody
knows, least of all the smart boys who run
the big banks and handle other peoples
money. Another fact, that some of this
class seem to be forgetting, is that the
American people want no more Of the
leadership of 1929, when bonds and stocks
of all kinds were foisted upon the people of
this country while the bankers and other
selling agents got their profits.
The nation, admittedly, was in a bad
way when President Roosevelt assumed
control of the government. At that time
everybody realized that something had to
be done and nobody knew what to do. The
President acted then and he is continuing
to act. Until he proves entirely wrong he
viii retain popular support, and the only
wise thing for us all is to give him loyal CO.
separation as far as possible. He has the
leadership in the battle to correct wrongs
that we do not wish to be transferred ito
any special group in this country, whether
they be bankers, big business men, farm
ers, laborers, or whatever there is.
The people of this country must
realize today, if they have not heretofore
that the welfare of all the people is SUI
perior to the welfare of any group, that any
program which takes care" of small
class at the expense of a larger class is
wrong and that, in the long run, we win
have to prosper together.
