He laid particular stress on the fact that Farmington has no such air marker.

Several members of congress resented the remarks and the subject was about to be brought before congress when the secretary intervened. The ambassador and the sccretary conferred informally a day or two later. What was said has not beea discloscd but the situation apparent- ly calmed. ‘Tariff specches by forcign diplo- mats in the past have almost invari- ably led to frritation at the capitol.

David* Boew-Lyon and Rachael Spender- Clay, whose mother was formerly Pauline Astor of New York. Lord Davidson, retired archbishop of Can- | terbury, officiated. The bride, who is a niece of fll-‘ Viscount Astor, wore a long gown of ivory and silver brocade. 8he car- ried a white prayerbook from which hung strands of orange blossoms. | The eight bridesmaids, who included | three nieces of the Duchess of York.| and the daughter of Lady Astor. were dressed in ivory velvet. Two small pages wore red chiffon velvet | suits. It was the first public appearance of Lord Davidson since his retire- ment. He has taken a personal in- terest in the wedding because he was staying at Glamis castle when Miss Spender-Clay visited the fami- the time that the betrothal was announced. Because of tho bride’'s American blood on her mother's side, the marriage has been regarded as something of Anglo-American alli- ance, 1t united a desceydant of the Astors with one of the most dis-| tinguished families of Great Britain. The position of the groom's family was enhanced when his sister mar- ried the second son of King George. Disaster to the Prince of Wales or his reign as a bachelor king and death without issue would bring the Duke and Duchess of York to the throne of the British empire.
