As a result of the conversation! which have been going on between Ambassador Dawes and Prime Minister MacDonald since the Ambassador arriyed in London it has been found the two govern ments think alike on the question of destroyers and submarines and that a settlement of the problem of limiting these categories woum present no great difficulty. i Problem of Cruiser Now Being Tackled Consequently the question of cruiser limitation Is now engaging the two government. The series of cpnferences which have been going on at the White House be tween President Hoover, Secre taries Stimson and Adams and Under Secretary of State Cotton have mainly therefore, had to do with the cruiser situation. . It was learned on high author ity tonight that as a result of these conference the American viewpoint on the cruiser problem, the" differences over a bich be tween the United States and Great Britain resulted in the fail ure of the tripartite conference of 192T, has been cabled to Ambas sador Dawes for presentation to Prime Minister MacDonald. It was presumed that Ambassador Dawes placed the American view point before the prime minister today. The British viewpoint on the cruiser problem is now before the American government. Tentative Agreement Is Kxpected Shortly An accord on the principles and basis factors in the problem is hoped for within a few days. AH Indications on the phase in volving the setting of a year for ,the attainment of parity between the two nations point to 1936 the principle of parity or naval equal ity, to be applied to the navies of the two, has already been agreed upon. It also Is expected that any naval limitation agreement which would result from a gener al naval parley, now being ten tatively discussed, will expire dur ing that year. After that time it would be necessary for another agreement for naval limitation to be entered into by the naval powers. The at titude in informed circles both in - Great Britain and the United States is being generally expresa ed that a period shorter than that limiting construction in the treaty of 1922, signed at the Washing ton arms conference, should be adopted by the naval powers for the limitation of cruisers, destroy ers and submarines. 1022 Treaty Extends Through Year 1930 It also is pointed out that the 1922 treaty expires by 1U own terms on December 31, 1936, and the capital ship phase could then be reconsidered along with re consideration of the other classes. The shorter period of limita tion, it also was 'remarked, give3 the powers an opportunity to con sider various changes in world Conditions insofar as they concern j their navies and to take more ready advantage of modifications in construction and guns and j replacements. Secretary Stimson and Under Secretary Cotton boih were in New .York today for a weekend at their homes. A wa3 indicated, however, that the conferences will be resumed next week, or as soon as a thorough studs has been made of the present problem. Reports from Tokio that the Japanese ministry ot marine is contemplating a supplementary building program caused no spe cial alarm In official circles here. The belief has been expressed In view of the reports, however, that the Japanese in the next limita tion conference will ask for an In crease in her ratio, which was. es tablished in 1922 for capital ships a3 5 for America, 5 for Great Bri tain and 3 for Japan. It is con sidered possible that Japan might desire 3.5 or a 4.0 ratio. T FILLED fUH CHS (Continued lrom Page 1.) mobile races and other speedy in ventions of the 20th century. But to look at the intent faces of the mass gathered one was not so sure that the day of the circus is passing. Men, women and chil dren sat staring intently at the tight rope walkers, the jugglers, and the acrobats. The poor vendor of icecream, and peanuts went by unheeded. Monkeys on sticks, and balloons had no sale folk were busy trying to see tire rings In front of them each presenting some grand "thrill, ladieeese and gen-lemen. that no other a-crobat has .ever done, no one but Grando lonto."

But why. one- wondered, did they want the grim, hurried, dan gerous performances, the contin ual tearing down of their "big tent," after a few hours labor and the moving under vicious, grind ing hardships, and then the build ing up of the- "big tent" and the same thing all over again, day in and day out? WhyT There is no suitable explanation to an outsider, but to those who have lived in the shadow of the "big tent" there is romance, and comarsderto fn a little world all their own-Tbt crowd felt it Thurs day night at the big circus.

"In the name of the American citizen interested in this matter," he pleaded, "let us know what the future has in store. Let us see that there Is no misunderstanding as to the nature and the serious ness of the duties and obligations involved." The senator was inclined to point to local officers in Palestine rather than place responsibility for recent clashes on the British government, asserting that "know ing the premier ot Great Britain as many of us do, we know that it would bo impossible for him to be indifferent or careless where human life was Involved." "But, my friends." he said, "in the presence ot this fearful trage dy, the cause ot our being here tonight, let us have an under standing. Is this to be a national home or international nhambles. A home is a place where a people are supposed to live in content ment and with a sense of securi ty. "The establishment of the spon soring of a national homo for the Jewish people carries with it the solemn obligation ot making it a place ot reasonable safety, or rea sonable security for life and prop erty. If I were offering you a suggestion in the way of advice tonight, I would say to you, do not dwell upon the past too long, but fix your mrnd and purpose upon the future. "We know now, and with a lit tle reflection we could have known in the beginnings, that the estab lisment of a national home for the Jewish people In Palestine is a task calling not only for the high est order of statesmanship but calling also for eternal vigilance and vast sacrifices. The Arabs are a virile people, resourceful in war, Indefatigable in purpose and imbued with a national spirit which at times partakes of fanati cism. To deal with such a situa tion there must In the begining be an understanding, some definite program. F TILLAMOOK, Ore., Aug. 29.

(AP) Energetic naval and military measures by British authorities responsible for order in the Holy Land have succeeded in suppress ing Arab-Jewish disorder which has been raging there for five days, according to latest reports received in London. The gruesome details are being related in newspapers here tot the events but the reports still leave the actual origin of the riots con fused and contradictory. It will now be the business of the author ities to establish culpability and responsibility for the outbreaks that have resulted In 152 deaths and 263 wounded. The colonial office tonight was able to announce the situation is quiet practically throughout Pale stine and unless there Is unfore seen developments the country may be considered under com plete control. The British commissioner to Palestine, Sir John Chancellor, who was absent on leave in Eng land when the trouble started, has now returned to his post. The British colonial office of ficial communique on the Pale stine situation issued tonight stated: "As regards the general situa tion it is reported that yesterday and last night were quiet practi cally throughout Palestine.

POLICY CRITICIZED WILLIAMSTOWN. Mass., Aug. 29. (AP) The United States policy in the Caribbean Sea area has been one of strategic econom ic predominance unparalleled in its relation with any other part of the world, and contradictory to Its own creed of independence. Professor Herbert I. Priestley ot the University of California said today before the final conference ot the ninth session of institute of politics. "In pursuit of this policy we have not stopped short at a single contradiction, but have hastened by force of our own momentum into denial of the right of weakJ and unorganized peoples to ren ovate their usurped tyrannies by that very process of revolution to which we owe our national birth," Professor Priestly said. "Not con tent with this, we have used our armed forces to pull down and set up governments which we judged to merit the action. "Furthermore, we have met the move of hostility to our commer cial and economic penetration, as it has been expressed in national istic legislation on natural resour ces, by diplomatic effort to extend our own municipal law so as to cover a situation for which inter national law proves as yet inad equate.

TAKE ENTIRE TOWN BOYDS, Wis., Aug. 21. (AP) Residents ot this little town to night were' preparing to make a last desperate stand againt the wind driven Dollar mountain for est fire, which has been carried to the waters edge ot the Kettle riv er, within striking; distance of the town. The fire had consumed mora than 70,009 acres. Settlers along the state high war deserted their farms as the conflagration, driven by a strong wind, from the southwest, carried the flames through the timber. The fire Jumped Deadman creek and farmers of that region had carried most , of their belongings to safety and had returned, to fight the flames. Tha fire was out of control and those In charge of the fighting crews said that nothing short ot heavy rains could subdue it. Low humidity and extremely dry tim ber made fighting difficult. Residents ot Boyds said that if the wind continued there was lit tle possibility that the town could be saved. Grain Growers Selling Produce Despite Advice Many of the farmers who have raised grain in the Willamette valley this year, are selling their threshed grain, contrary to the advice of persons who are In touch with market prices. Ina bility for financial reasons to de lay selling, may be the explana tion in a majority of cases. The grain harvest Is practically completed, except In a few dis tricts which have been short of threshing equipment. The har vesting of red clover for seed is beglnnnig, with evidences of a generally good crop.
