He does not con- sider it unnathiral that the cruisei tonnaze should call for considerable digcussion.

When pressed further for some ex planation of his hopeful attitude the President was represented sayving that he could say no more than that he was satisfied with the p ing made and that he was hoy the outeome. The impression was given today by Mr, Coolidge that he appreciates the various technical problems presented by the proposals and counterproposals of the three powers, especially the Sritish proposal for a higher tonnage in cruisers, and beeause of thi: he would rather refrain from making comment upon any of these, fearing that anything he would say might be misinterpreted in Europe, therchy re sulting in embarrassment. o fee! lem will be 1 ess be- eful of Confidence in Delegates.
