GIBSON GROPES FOR PEAGE KEY IN NAVY MAZE Japanese Reported to Have Tentative Plan Looking Toward Accord. Bu United Press GENEVA, Aug. 2.—Hugh S. Gibson, chief of the American delegation to President Coolidge’s naval limitations conference, visited the Japanese and British leaders today, but there was no announcement of his purpose. The visit to the Japanese took place first and it was reported that Viscount Ishii and Baron Saito offered a conciliation proposal along the lines of the British suggestion that there be a naval holiday. A plenary session of the conference, with full representation of Japanese, British and American delegations, has been set for Thursday. The session apparently will provide each delegation with opportunity to state its position and to explain why it was not responsible for the difficulties which have developed here, after which the conference presumably will adjourn. Cruisers Are Snag V has been no progress towHW limitation of the c-uiser class of warships. Submarines and destroyers were less difficult. The question of cruisers involved naval bases, of which Britain has many widely scattered along the world’s trade routes and the United States has few. With bases from which to operate small cruisers, Britain preferred to limit the number of 10,000-ton cruisers as much as possible. The United States wanted to build 10,-000-ton cruisers according to its needs, within the tonnage limi* to be decided upon. In principle, the conferees agreed to parity in naval strength as between Britain and the United States. Britain now has considerable superiority in auxiliary vessel strength and parity would have been obtained either by Britain scrapping vessels or by the United States building up to the British strength. Far Apart on Ideas Gibson suggested that 300,000 tons be maximum cruiser strength and that w'ithin such quota each nation be permitted to build ships up to 10,000 tons, according to requirements. The British countered by explaining their necessity for a large numbers of smaller cruisers, so many of the 300,000-ton quota there would not remain enough to permit building of many large cruisers. To provide parity'in the British sense, the British delegates proposed that there should be further limitation within the 300,000-ton quota. Thus each nation would be permitted to build only a certain number of large cruisers and on the smaller cruisers the caliber of guns would be reduced from eight to six inches. That proposal was objectionable to Gibson. It would require the United States, he said, to build ships of the small cruiser class, which it did not neer( or to permit Britain to have the stronger Navy. POSTOFFICE SURVEY IS RENEWED BY U. S.

Joy Echoes Over Sea to Cheer Priest

BY DENNIS J. O’NEILL EF SOUNDS of Italian laughter and shouts of Italian joy reached the ears of Father Marino Priori beneath Latin skies Monday night, the sounds were/the echoes of the laughter and voices of his people of Holy Rosary Church, 526 Stevens St. For there is little laughter now in the little home in Italy where Father Priori is visiting. His sister is expecting blindness soon to blot out her last view of the warm Italian sky and her last glimpse of the sparkling blue Mediterranean. And that is why Father Priori is in Italy. His sister would want to see him before the dark came. And, too, God has been known to weave the bright thread of a miracle into the gray patterns of life.
