NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS MacDonald Visit Ends and Naval Conference Is Called by England. By EDWARD W. PICKARD IRST fruit of the momentous con- versations between President Hoo- ver and Prime Minister Ramsay Mae Donald in the Virginia fishing camp and the White House was the Inviia- tion issued by Great Britain to the United States, France, Italy and Japan to participate In a naval conference in London next January. The pro- posal of the British government Is In effect to reopen, revise and extend the navy limitation agreements reached at the Washington conference of 1021-22, with a view to gradual disarmament in accord with the spirit of the Kei- logg pact in which all countries have renounced war as an instrument of national policy. In order to give assurance that there will be no differences between Great Britain and the United States over cruiser tonnage to wreck this conference as occurred at the Geneva conference of 1027, the London gov- ernment informs Japan, France and Italy that the two Anglo-Saxon npa- tions have virtually reached an agree. ment based on parity of the two navies In all classes of ships. There is no doubt that the invita. tions will be accepted, though therg will be some opposition to holding the conference in London, America’s ac- ceptance was announced Thursday, France, it was believed, would make three reservations, asking that the work of the conference be disassoci- ated with the Kellogg pact; that the proposals for abolishment of the sub- marine be dropped by England and America before the meeting opens, and that France have the right to call for a new mtio on cruisers, destroyers and submarines, It was understood that Italy would adopt practically the same attitude as France; and Japan was expected to accept the invitation with- out reservations, Each British domin- fon also was Invited to send represen. tatives to the conference. When Mr. MacDonald's Washington visit officially came to an end he and Mr. Hoover issued a Joint statement to the effect that in their conversa. tions they had reached an understand. ing that the United States and Great Britain would co-operate to preserve the peace of the world, and that set- tilement of all disagreements between the two countries In the future should be sought on the assumption that war { between them is unthinkable, Sincere acceptance of the Paris peace pact is reaffirmed, and confidence expressed in the success of the naval confer ence, One significant paragraph of the statement reads: “The part of each of our govern. ments in the promotion of world peace will be different, as one will never consent’ to become entangled In Eu. ropean diplomacy and the other Is re- solved to pursue a policy of active co- operation with its European neighbors; bit each of our governments will di. rect its thoughts and Influence to- wards securing and maintaining the peace of the world.” This Is designed to gqniet the appre. hension, felt especially by the French, that the MacDonald visit would result in an actual alliance between Ameriea and Great Britain intended to force upon the rest of the world thelr In- terpretation of disarmament and peace. At every opportunity Mr, Hoover and Mr. MacDonald disclaimed any such intention, and in his remarkable ad- dres# before the senate the prime min. ister specifically said: “We are not out for any exclusive alliance. You would reject it. So would L it is not for the benefit of ¢ither of us” The President and the prime minis ter discussed, in a general way other topics besides the maval conference, These included tariffs, the Anglo-Amer. teun war debt, freedom of the seas and the British naval buses off the Ameri can Atlantic const, It was agreed the last named matter should be the sub- ject of further consideration after Mr, MacDonald has returned to London. Socially as well as politically, Mr. MacDonald's visit was a great suc cess. He and his daughter Ishbel were lavishly entertained, there were state dinners at the White House, the British embassy, and at the home of Secretary Stimson, and the prime min. ister was given the hedorary degree of Doctor of Laws by the George Washington university. After the formal farewells in the Capital the British party left for Philadelphia and New York, secure in the belle that Mr. MacDonald's unprecedented adventure had accomplished extraordl. nary things for the two nations and for the world at large, RWIN B. LAUGHLIN of Pittsburgh, one of the “career” diplomats, has been appointed by the President as ambassador to Spain to succeed Ogden H. Hammond, resigned. Mr, Laugh. lin's last assignment was as minister to Greece, where he served from 1024 to 1026. Prior to his appointment Mr. Laughlin had been stationed In various diplomatic capacities at many of the principal capitals of the world He began his career as private secre tary to the minister tv Japan, NCE again the Democratic sena- tors and those radicals who per- sist in calling themselves Republicans scored on the administration senators in the tariff battle. This time by a vote of 44 to 41 the senate rejected finance committee amendments broad- ening the rights of manufacturers and wholesalers to intervene In customs disputes before the treasury and the courts. Later the senate rejected an which would have granted independ- ence to the Philippines, and debated another proposal to levy tariffs on im- ports from the Philippines and re turn the revenue thus derived to the islands until independence is granted. These proposals realiy were made for the benefit of the American beet sugar growers and domestic producers of vegetable olls, The strength of the Democratie- radical combine led to forecasts that there would be a deadlock over the tariff bill in conference and that the measure would fail of enactment In the special session. There were those who sald this result would not be en- tirely displeasing to the President and that the administration would not favor the revival of the bill in the reg. ular session of congress, LBERT B. FALL, former secre. tary of the interior, appeared In Washington for his trial on bribery charges connected with the oll scan- dals, and refused to ask a conting- ance on account of his exceedingly poor health, But before the taking of testimony began he collapsed and a recess was ordered. The court desig- pated Dr. Sterling Ruffin to examine him, but Fall refused to receive the specialist, explaining his action was on purely personal grounds and that Doctor Ruffin was the only physician in~the country whom he would not permit to examine him, s—— I RES more loans were authorized by the federal farm board The Florida Citrus exchange is to get a facilities loan of $2,800,000; and the Tennessee Cotton Growers’ associa. tion and the South Carolina Cotton Growers’ Co-operative association re. ceive supplemental loans of $250,000 and $500,000 respectively. The ad- vance to the Florida Citrus exchange will be secured by first mortgage on packing plants of local units, an EPORTS from India say that Kabul, the capital of Afghanis tan, has been captured by the forces of Nadir Khan and that Habibullah Khin, otherwise Bacha Sakno, had fled by airplane, Evidently the story of the usurper king's assassination two weeks ago was at least premature. The troops of Nadir's brother are sald to have scattered Habibuliah's army and to have entered the capital, the fohabitants taking refuge in the hills ee ENATOR MORRIS SHEPPARD of Texas has put forward a proposal to amend the Volstend act so as to make the purchase of liquor a crime, as well as the sale of It. But the idea is meeting with strenuous objections not only from the wets but also from many of the dry leaders. Some thought it would nullify the whole scheme of prohibition, and others, Norris, chairman of the judiciary com- mittee, held that It might completely break down prohibition enforcement, Mr. Norris sald the plan, If adopted, would prevent §5 per cent of the pros ecutions in prohibition cases, for In fully that number the testimony of buyers must be relied on for convie tions. Senator Hawes of Missourl, § wet, sald: “The matter of ‘purchase’ purposely was omitted from the Eighteenth amendment, and if it is to be brought up now the proper meth- od would be by the submission of an- other constitutional amendment.” REPARATIONS were for the Investigation completed of lobbies committee, which, Is to conduct the hearings, was named, as follows: Car away of Arkansas, chairman; Dorah of Idaho, Robinson of Arkansas, Bialoe of Wisconsin and Walsh of Montana. Thus the inquiry is dominated by rad- fcals, drys and pacifists and it is ex pected to go especially hard for the eastern high tariff interests, the big navy and other preparedness organiza: tions and the wet associations, The tariff lobby was scheduled for first at- tention. Probably the hearings will last through the winter, MERICAN FEDERATION OF LA- bor delegates opened thelr annual convention .n Toronto with President William Green In the chair. The most interesting event of the week was the start of an attempt to bring the Brotherhood of Rallway Trainmen back into the federation.
