Amery replied that the position was _perfectly clear; the agreement t Washington was for the limitation in the number of capital ships and maintenance of the status.quo regard- ing bases within a very carefully de- fined area.

House Crowded for Debute. The house was crowded: for debate today for resumption of the debate on socialism, public ownership and kindred topies, raised by Philiip Snowden in his recemt motfon. Quite an array of talent was down for speeches during the debate, in- cluding J. Ramsay MacDonald and Ar- thur Henderson for the laborites, for- mer Premier Lloyd George for ths nae tional liberals, and Lieut. Col. M. S. Amery and_Sir. Laming Worthingion- Evans for the government. According to gossip in the lobby when the housa divides on the motion both wings of the liberal party will vote for the government. Mr. Snowden's. motion _denounces the capitalist system as a failure, proposes that legislation be toward it's gradual supercession by an industrial and social order based on public ownership and democratic control of the instruments of pro- duction and distrtbution. Mr. Smowden is a member of the independent labor party. 'ADO MAY TAKE STAND TOMORROW Delayed ‘Today and Fails to Testify in Worse Trial. Roode ‘Is. Examined. William G.
