It ACTIVITIES
ENDS FIRST WEEK
STIMSON STRIKES DIRECTLY
AT MOST TROUBLESOME
QUESTION
LONDON, Jan., 24, UP)—Dele
aves to the Naval disarmament
conference virtually wound up
the first week’s work with a
whirl of activity bringing the
Anglo-American parity sharply
to the foreground for the first
time. Publicity will be given all
future meetings, in full.
At the suggestion of Chairman
Stimson, of the U. S. delegates,
the cruiser problem, which
wrecked the Geneva conference,
seems certain to be the first mat
tr to be taken up for arranging
of details of parity in the Bhitish
and American navies.
A move for admission of cor
respondents at future conference
meetings, also originated with
the American delegation. Senator
Robinson strongly urged such a
step and Reed supported him
The cruiser angle of the Anglo
American parity problem will be
taken up first, it was thought,
and Stimson, speaking first on
the subject, struck directly at
the seat of the most troublesome
question of the whole parity
discussion. Although they have
agreed on other points in an ex
act balance between American and
British cruiser fleets, one point
has never been settled.

er’s association, who experessed the
opinion that there is an ice barrier
cutting off Byrd’s camp from open
water and his supply ships and will
break up as it has done in previous
years. The association stated that
if Byrd is short of provisions the
whaling factory ship will be sent in
