U. S.-BRITISH PARLEY ON NAVY POUGYJJRGED •Gentlemen's Agreement’ by Diplomats Suggested by Englishman. BY HENRY T. RUSSELL United Pres* Staff Correspondent 'Copyright. 1929, by United Press i LONDON. Feb. 21.—The Hon. Joseph M. Kenworthy, labor member of parliament and consistent advocate of closer Anglo-American relations, urged an early naval agreement between the two countries in an interview with the United Press today. Kenworthy, himself an expert on naval affairs, dismissed the idea of having naval men attempt the agreement, however. “You might as well call a conference of bookmakers and jockeys to abolish horse racing as to ask admirals to abolish battleships and reduce cruisers,” Kenworthy said. “Gentlemen’s” Agreement Urged He urged, instead, an early “gentlemen's agreement” between such statesmen as Lord Balfour, Ramsay MacDonald. Lord Cecil and Sir John Simon and men of corresponding caliber from the United States—men whose verdict neither country would challenge. “We should realize that the future of world peace is greatly dependent on Anglo-American accord because we are the only two nations able to afford great navies,” said Kenworthy. “Obviously, if England and America disagree on naval affairs, the result will be that both will pile up armaments. On the contrary, if they agree, then they can limit, if not abolish them. “Repeatedly I have insisted that American ships are not a menace but on the contrary a safeguard to world peace because they defend the freedom of the seas which constitute both Britsh and United States interest. No Reason for Big Navy “Indeed, if statesmen instead of admirals conferred, we would find, firstly, the real cause of AngloAmerican differences on this question of freedom of the seas, in which piratical nations must not be allowed run amuck through our shipping. “Furthermore, secondly, if they argued the point, they eventually would be bound to ask themselves against which ‘piratical nations’ they would require such formidable armaments. Likewise, I am convinced they would be unable to name this mysterious anonymous future enemy. “Thirdly, they would be bound to conclude that since the Ke'llogg pact, navies must be regarded merely as police forces.” FRATERNITY TO BANQUET Nu Chapter, Phi Chi, to Observe Founders’ Day Saturday.

Aimee Semple McPherson neared Los Angeles today, as members of j the California legislature here pre- ! pared for an impeachment trial ol i Judge Carlos Hardy of the superior j court because the judge accepted a $2,500 check from the evangelist.
