With the British Labor government expected to adhere to the compulsory arbitration clause in the World Court, the British member today made what was interpreted generally as a statement indicating that the Labor government will play an active part in league activities.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the slowness of ratifications, Mr. Dalton said that the signatures of con- ventions should be a reality and not merely a device for seeking to support propositions at Geneva, which are not necessarily followed up when the dele- gates return home.

The minister said the reports were “on the whole true,” although the navy's gmmm had not been definitely and nally formulated and was “subject to ‘modification according to the progress of the disarmament discussions and cir- cumstances affecting preparation df the national budget.” He said the newspaper accounts of the proposed cruiser program contained some erroneous figures, but he declined to say what these were. The accounts said the program included four 10,000- ton cruisers, 15 first-class destroyers and other vessels at a total cost of 400,000,000 yen (approximately $184,- 000,000), covering six to eight years and overlapping by two years the pres- ent eruiser program.

Some weeks ago, she added, a well dressed young couple stopped at the Saunders house and, see- ng the baby, manifested great interest in it. Mrs. Saunders since has come to believe that this couple may have known something about Francis' parentage. Mrs. Saunders recently notified Miss Irma E.
