Power-Frowns on Effort if
Adjournment Is Delayed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Enactment of neutrality legislation
at the present session of Congress
is considered desirable by President
Roosevelt if it does not delay ad-
tournament.
AT his regular press conference
today the President declined, however.
to approve specifically any Of the
bills concerning neutrality questions
before Congress.
The President said it would be wiSeSt
in some instances for the Chief Execu-

tain discretionary power in enforcing
legislation.
There was no objection to legisla-
ton making enforcement of some pro-
visions mandatory in other instances.
The President emphasized that.
while he considered neutrality legisla-
ton advisable. he did not want 10
clog the legislative machinery by pro-

NAVAL AGREEMENT.
MOVE IS AWAITED.
U. S. Silent on Possible
Substitute for 5-5-3
Ratio of Powers.
" the Associated Press

Ry the Associated Press.
Observers today Sensed the early
possibility of diplomatic overtures'
looking to a new naval agreement, as
the result of Great Britain's an
nounced abandonment of the ratio
method of curbing a naval race
American officials, however, were
silent and declined to indicate II this
would be achieved through formal
conference, through diplomatic chan-
nels or by discussions patterned after
the recent London naval talks.
The United States, it was learned
authoritatively. however, is not op-
posed to substituting some other yard
stick of relative naval strength for the
fgurative ratio-5-5-3 in this case
which wounded Japan'S national prloe
so deeply it abrogated the Washington
treaty.
Some significance was attached to a
White House call yesterday oy Aomirai
William H. STANDBY, chief OF naval
operations. Standley reported his Talk
with the President was centered on
routine Navy matters. Speculation
continued. nevertheless. that the Brit
ish move and the general naval sltu-
alton had entered into the conference
Move Not Unexpected.
Announcement by the British Ad-
miralty that it was throwing the con-
tentious ratio system overheard and
would seek other means to achieve
af
without forewarning, but was not en-
tirely unexpected.
American officials are known to nave
anticipated compromise proposal
from the British-based on announced
programs designed to insure security
and eliminate mathematical ratios.
Norman Davis. the Presidents row
ing envoy. who represented the United
States in the London talks last De-
cember made clear at that time tnat
the American Government did not IN
sist on continuance of the 5-5-3 ra-
ito, but did advocate limitation by
some system which would provide
equality of security
London to Issue Call.
Great Britain, which took the lead
in calling the London talks, has made
known it will take the initiative in
calling another naval meeting, as pro-
vided in the Washington treaty, "as
soon as the opportune moment ar
rives"
The British government has not yet,
however. isued any invitations for a
new meeting, and no conference, time
or place has been suggested by any
of the interested sea powers.
The Washington and London naval
limitation treaties end on December
81, 1886, and unless new agreement
is achieved before the expiration of
those pacts there will be no interna-
tional understanding limiting the size
and strength of the worlds navies.

Ireceived information from
%. B. Marston Supply Co.,
publishers, of Phoenix and
Los Angeles, of the publica-
ton of Kirby's Course of
Study for the United States
Constitution, by Wesley D.
Kirby.
This production is becom-
ing popular in the schools
and is of interest to the peo-
pie of Coolidge for the rea-
son that Mr.. Kirby is princi-
pal of Coolidge grammar
school. The publishers make
the following comment on
Mr.. Kirby's production:
Kirby's Course of Study
for the United States Consti-
tuition is a self-contained
class room hand book en-
bracing direction for study,
reference material, unit
tests and review questions
for examination periods.
The Teachers Key provides
the instructor with the cor
rect answers.
Heretofore the teaching
of the federal constitution,
one of the seven cardinal
principles of secondary pdu-
cation, has taken up much
of the teachers time in its
preparation. In the final
analysis, at its best, it was a
hit and miss result. Through
lack of time, often most i'm
portant phases of the docu-
ment were entirely overlook
ed. There is no uniform
for instruction.
klrby's Course is arrang-
ed to overcome all such OBJ
5tacles. The self-contained
course is handed to the stu
dent with all reference ma
erial clearly therein defined.
