KELLOGG ENCOURAGED BY RESULTS OF PLAN America to Continue Negotiations on Pact Through Diplo- matic Channels. By the Associated Press. The British government, as well as its self-governing dominions and India, “are all in accord with the general principle of the proposed treaty” of Secretary Kellogg for the renunciation of war and “will supporf the movement to the utmost of their power.” Sir Austen Chamberlain, secretary for foreign affairs, in replying thus to the American proposal in a note re- ceived yesterday by Secretary Kellogg, | said the suggested treaty had evoked widespread interest in Great Britain and his goverfiment found “nothing in their existing commitments which pre- vents their hearty co-operation in this new movement for strengthening the foundations of peace.” The British government, he said, would “gladly co-operate in the con- clusion of such a pact as is proposed and are ready to engage with the in- terested parties in the negotiations which are necessary for the purpose.” Kellogg Is Encouraged. Secretary Kellogg is very much en- couraged by the British reply. State Department officials said the note was conciliatory and favorable on the whole and they indicated a feeling that real progress s being made toward the ideal of world peace. Japan, the only other nation which has not yet replied to Secretary Kellogg's proposal, is expect- ed to be heard from soon and indica- tions from Tokio are that the tenor of that nation’s reply will be generally favorable. Germany has accepted un- conditionally and Italy has accepted the American proposal in principle. Continuance of the negotiations through diplomatic channels has been decided upon by the American Gov- ernment, which has looked with dis- favor upon proposals for an interna- tional conference on the subject. The British government says in its note that after making a careful study of the American and French draft treaties it feels convinced there is no serious divergence between the effect of the two drafts.

In view of Mr. Kellogg's statement that any express re ition c:l( that nnncl%u:‘ot law was whe un- iecessary, and it is agreed that this principle will apply, the British gov- ernment said it was satisfied and would not ask for an amendment. ‘Means can no doubt be found with- out difficulty of placing this under- standing on record in some appropriate manner,” said the British note, “so that it may have equal value with the terms of the treaty itself.” Saying the British ition regarding | the covenant of the ue of Nations | and Locarno treatles obligations is identical with that of the German gov- ernment as to any new treaty which (Continued on Page 2, Column 8.)

TEN CENTS ELSEWHERE —_— | | | HODVER AND I FAGE FIVAL FGHT Opponents in Desperate Ef- fort to Head Off Impend- ing Nominations. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. In desperate efforts to headoff the nomination for President of Gov. Al Smith of New York by the Democrats and Secretary Herbert Hoover by the Republicans, anti-Smith Democrats and anti-Hoover Republicans are threaten- ing revolt and even third party move- ments. “The protest against Smith comes from the strongly Democratic South, which is dry, Protestant and anti-Tammany. The protest against Hoover comes from the strongly Republican Middle West and Northwest, which are aroused over the farm issue. Leaders Discount Threat. ‘Third party movements; as s measure of protest against old political parties, are not new in the United States. In the past they have had vital effect upon _the lential elections. An anti-Smith E:fly in the South, if it ed real headway, might take away rom the New York governor a great block of electoral votes upon w he and his supporters are now counting. An anti-Hoover party in the Middle ‘West and Northwest, reaching real pro- portions, might lose to the Republicans many electoral votes in those sections. The Smith and Hoover leadess are discounting threats of revolt and third ?lrly movements. They insist that in he end the Democrats and the Reguh- licans are likely to be controled by g‘fl! lines, and by fundamental issves, e Smith peogle declare that the South will not break away from the Demecratic ‘party because of the race issue. The Hoover people, on the other hand, insist that the Republican farm- ers of the West will not vote for Smith bficnu‘e he is wet, Tammany and Cath- olic. The politiclans, however, do not have to grope far into the past for instances of third party movements which have attained large and vital proportions. Four years ago the late Senator Rob- ert M. La Follette of Wisconsin headed an independent progressive ticket, after the Republicans had nominated Presi- dent Coolidge and the Democrats John W. Davis. This third ticket rolled up some 5,000,000 votes, though the La Follette ticket received onl 13 elec- toral votes, those of Wisconsin. Bull Moose Revolt. A dozen years earlier, however, Theo- dore Roosevelt lead the Bull Moose revolt against the regular Republican organization, which nominated Chief Justice Taft, and so split the Republi- can party that President Woodrow Wilson was elected. Significant of the feeling in the South against Al Smith was the meeting of the Southern Baptists in Chittanooga, Tenn., yesterday, when their convention adopted resolutions asserting that their 3,700,000 Baptist voters in the South would disregard party lines and oppose # known wet if he were nominated. Hiram Vrooman, a brother of Carl Vrooman, Assistant Secretary of Agri- culture in Wilson's administration, has issued a plea to all the Protestant churches of the South to rise against Smith and for a political union of the Sputh and the West against the North and the East in the general elections. ‘The nomination of Mr. Hoover by the Republicans will bring down upon the Republican party the wrath of the farmers in North and South Dakota, ac- cording to Senators Nye and Norbeck and other Republican leaders in the Northwest and Middlewest. Assertions that some of these States may go for Smith as a protest against Hoover have | become the order of the day. Without the organization of third party movements, or & single third party movement, however, the chances are that the electorate in these sece tions of the country will rum true to form, the South golng to Smi‘h and the West to Hoover, if they are the party standard bearers, ‘What will come out of the antmosity aroused In both partles by these nominations, if they be made next month, remains to _be seen.

Cooke of Wilmington, Del., today filed with the secretary of the Quad- rennial General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church charges of heresy against Bishop McConnell and Bishep William F. McDowell of Wash- ington, D. C., senior bishop of the church. The retired minister, without standing in the conference as a delegate, and Iackirg support of the Wilmington dele- fltlon, charged the bishops with “teach- ng false doctrines in violation of the penal code of our book of discipline.” Supporting this charge he cited statements made by Bishop McDowell in his book, “That I May Save Some," and by Bishop McConnell in his book entitled, “Religious Certainty.” Specific Charges. In reference to Bishop McConnell, Mr. Cooke charged: “His views are the ideas usually advanced by infidels and Uni- tarfans,” while he charged of Bishop | McDowell that “he would have us yield the faith of our church to the con- clusions of modern infidelity as general- ly taughts by evolutionists and Uni- tarians.” Mr. Cooke's complaints were not re- ?u‘ded serlously by conference officials n view of the conference's action last week in summarily dismissing as “total- ly without foundation” charges of mal- administration and “immorality” which he had brought against Bishop MoCon- nell. The * to alleged certification to an incomplete annual conference report, and approval of_certain expressions on evolution, Early action by the eplscopacy com- mittee in recommending dismissal of the charges was predicted.

TARIFF RIDERS FAIL, ~ TWO CHANGES MADE Reed and Californian Clash When Latter Charges Attempt to Filibuster. By the Associated Press. A final vote on the tax reduction bill in the Senate went over until this week when a recess was taken last night on the arrival of the Sabbath, after a session lasting from 11 am. to midnight. During the long meeting the Senate voted down a series of amendments, including proposals for repeal and for modification of the inheritance tax and tarif “riders” aiming at increases in duties on agricultural products. Likewise, it rejected all proposals to limit debate, or to fix a definite hour for a vote on Monday, and finally wit~ nessed a dramatic clash between two of its foremost fighters, Johnson, Re- publican, California, and Reé¥, Demo- crat, of Missouri.
