Limitation" agreement in London.
they will demand a global tonnage to
give them the required security on
the seas. And that tonnage must be
substantially greater than it is today.
The Italians are sending delega-
ton to London. but whether under
the present conditions in the Mediter-
ranean an agreement with II Duce
is possible is matter Of grave doubt
The American delegates will put
up a good show to prevent further
increase of the United States Navy.

so far. Despite his strenuous efforts
to bring about some kind of paper"
agreement at the general limitation

conference ended in complete fiasco.

Davis fault. He did all he could
to line up the principal powers to
agree to something on paper. but po-
litical conditions defeated him.
Fought British Request.
When he represented the United
States at the last informal naval par
leys in London he fought all he could
the British request for 20 additional
cruisers. Now, when the British have
proved that their demand is an abso-
lutte necessity. Mr. Davis will no longer
oppose it, but, in keeping with the
Presidents instructions, he will en-
deaver to induce his British colleagues
to build the new ships without increas-
ing the global tonnage of both fleets.
He hopes to succeed in convincing
them to take the necessary tonnage
for the small cruisers out of the exist
ing tonnage by reducing the size of
other ships.
Undersecretary of State Phillips
is career man with wide diplomatic
experience, having served in all capac-
tiles from attache, to Ambassador to
Belgium. He is not an expert on naval
questions, but his role will be confined
mainly to the political end of the
negotiations with Great Britain. He
enjoys the absolute confidence of the
President and will report directly to
him.
Admiral Standley, chief of naval
operations, is salt water sailor. He
knows better than the other delegates
what kind of a navy the United
States needs and while not being
drawn into the political end Of the
negotiations, he will be adamant in
his request the American Navy shall
not reduce the size of its fighting
ships and not accept parity with
Japan.
Three Washingtonians, Capt. r. E.
Ingersoll. Comdr. Roscoe E. Schuir-
mann. and Lieut.. A. Del. Ayrault, jr.,

There was a possibility, although

LOCAL CHEVROLET MEN
ATTEND SPECIAL MASS
MEETING IN GREENSBORO

U. L. Hafer, of the Hafer Chevrolet
Company, has returned from Green's
boro, N. c., where he and members
of his selling staff have been attend
ing special mass meeting in con-
nection with the "Ride America"
demonstration campaign which the
Chevrolet Motor Company is staging
during the month of August.
Plans for demonstrating the per-
Torrance and exceptional Iding quail
tiles of the 1885 Chevrolet to millions
of potential buyers were outlined at
the meeting by Mr.. E. C. Atkinson,
Sales Promotion Manager. By MAIN
tenance of peak production in the
Chevrolet plants, deliveries can now
be made more promptly than at any
time heretofore this year, it was an
nounced at the meeting.
"The assurance of prompt deliver
ies", said Mr.. Hafer, twas certainly
good news to us. AS any model can
now be obtained without delay, it is
logical time to put on real demon
stration drive. A ride in Chevrolet
is a revelation in smoothness, COM
fort, and ease of control, and an ex-
perience which no one considering a
car can afford to miss. Add to this
the economy and durability which our
owners find so gratifying this year,
and you have the explanation of the
shortage which is only now beginning
to abate''.
Accompanying Mr.. Hafer were C.
M. Payne and r. A. Jones, members
Of his sales organization, who will
aid him in the local staging of the
"Ride America" demonstration cam
paign.
