It has not been made clear. however. whether administration officials are ready to enter a general conference pending agreement on & new “yard- stick” for comparative measurement of the strength of navies. | As Preliminary Step. | Development of such a formula, rec- ognizing age, armor, gunpower, speed. etc., as well as tonnage, in computing the strength of a ship was advanced as a preliminary step toward a naval agreement at the meeting of the pre- paratory disarmament commission of the League of Nations by Hugh S. G!! son, Ambassador to Belgium and head of the American delegation at Geneva. The detailed American formula has not yet been submitted to the commission. | It is assumed that the officials re- | sponsible for the diplomatic aspects of | the problem were given a thorough un- | derstanding of the ‘‘yardstick” ideas | being worked out by the naval experts at the White House breakfast yester- dav, since they, well as Secretaries «~Ctimson and Adams and Undersecretary iCotton of the State Department, were among the President’s gucsts. | Too Early for Yardstick. Administration officials explained aft- erward that the diplomatic discussions had not reached the point where a “yardstick” could be applied. The im- mediate problem. it was brought out. is to establish an agreement on naval requirements, a “yardstick” not being needed until actual measurements to fix strength are taken up. /SNOWDEN REPEATS | ENGLAND'S DEMAND i FOR DEBT REVISION | —_— (Continued From First Page.) d the crucial meeting remained, slated for 10 a.m. Saturday morning.

Campbell of the American exhibits at Seville made the report to President ‘Hoovr,r last month upcn which the ex- tension request was studied and Ap- { proved. ‘The exposition was opened ormally last May, with King Alfonso i presept. and he gave more time to the | Ameiican exhibits than to the exhibits { of any other nation represented. There developed among the Ameri- jcan personnel at the exposition a di- : vision of opinion as to the setting of the American exhibits, some contending that the United States had been too economical in preparing its buildings | and in decorating them inside. The | bareness of two of these buildings in- | side, with thsir extremely simple lines | outside, have caused many American visitors to the exposition to feel that the United States was not adequately ‘plclured in those respects at least. | Opinions of Exhibits Differ. As for the exhibits themselves, opinion also differed among both personn:,l and visitors. The highly scientific nature of the exhibits was believed by some to | be “above the heads” of a majority of | the people who visited the exposition. }On these two major points, the sim- plicity of the setting and the nature of | the exhibits, Mr. Campbell is presumed to have commented to the President ang what changes may be made, i any> remain to be disclosed. & | . The psychology of the American ex- Ih_ibl!s as officially worked out at the | time the exhibits were being prepared in Washington must be stated before judgment can be passed on the fore- going questions. More than two years | ago the American commission and in- terested departmental officials agreed that the United States was quite well enough known, perhaps too well known, for its great material prosperity and the magnitude of its industrial and commercial achievements. So a new aspect of the United States, that is, new to the masses of Europe and to most of the visitors from Latin Amer- | ica expected at Seville, was to be pre- sented at the exposition. This aspeet would depict Uncle Sam as the scien- tist, as the humanitarian, as the in- tellectual. Nothing commercial was to be allowed in the United States pa- | vilions. It was decided further that only governmental exhibits would be shown in the three United States buildings | and that there would be no admission charges to anything nor anything on sale. This, it was argued, would coun- teract the concept of Uncle Sam as | having no other motive than the “almighty dollar.” Economic Progress Pointed Out, Then it was decided that the can exhibits should be S around those problems of a social, economic, agricultural and other nature with which Spain, Portugal and Latin America also were wrestling. For in- stance, Spain has a large tion and reclamation problem. The American :;hl%l'.l‘ull;clsllhd'e demonstrations of how e Uni tes meets such problems. Road-making is a problem commmm to all the nations participating at Seville, %0 the United States shows its methods in road-making. And so on through work for children and women, educa- tion, sanitation, aviation and many other subjects. The expectation was that what the United States is doing would be helpful lessons to the citizens of other nations. American exposition officials believe the original purpose and the results of the exhibifs have been vindicated in & large degree, but the technical charac- ter of the exhibits may be reaching fewer of the visitors to the exposition than expected. The King of Spain, be- ing well informed on scientific develop- ments, showed the keenest interest in the American achlevements, asking questions freely and being especially pleased when an American exhibit showed the debt the United States owed to Spanish culture. Knowing the United States as the land of opulence, the land of the high- est-paid workmen in the world, the pro- ducer of the most automobiles, the in- dustrial colossus of history, the Euro- pean and Latin American visftors un- doubtedly are surprised at the modest and severely plain buildings which house the American \exhibits, even while they are impresséd by the type of exhibits themselves. Aside from a little bunting the walls of the main building and of the motion picture theater building are unadorned. The third building, intended as a por- manent structure to house the United States consulate after the exposition closes, is more attractive fnside, yet tiis structure suffers much in comparison with the brick and stone structures of other nations. Attendance Is Large. In-the long run, it is believed that the desire of the United States to avold ostentatious display of fts wealth by a lavish expenditure at Seville will be un- derstood and applauded. The demands the exhibits make upon intellectual powers doubtless would repel many in the United tes itself, so that the Seville is not taken as conclu- sive. Moreover, attendance at the the most, the greal similar superiatives attributed to Amer- ican®, and the Hol notion of the United States are it at Seville and ton | the omission may be a master stroke. any rate, the final results of the pol- adopted at Seville will be studicd closely io test the soundness of the | original reasoning.
