C. — Government operation of Muscle Shoals was dis approved by the senate, 48 to 37.

C.—President Cool idge is oppoeed to the proposal to elevate the guns on 13 American battleships, Secretary of the Navy Wil bur informed the house naval affairs committee. Wilbur said the proposed alteration, costing >6,500,000, would restore the navy to the 5-5-3 ratio of the Washing ton arms treaty. He informed the committee, however, that the presi dent, after due deliberation, had -de cided the expenditure was in "conflict with his financial program.” Great Britain is the only world pow er that has made an official protest against the elevation of guns, it was revealed by the state department in response to congressional demands for information on the subject. The pro-' teet was made in 1923, when the sub jeet was first brought forward. Japan did not consider that gun ele vation was a violation of the treaty, the letter said. -, f President Coolidge's position against elevation of the big guns of the Amer ican battleships was supported by Chairman Borah of the senate foreign relations committee, who said in a statement it was better to waive ad- vantage technically given by the arms treaty than to give justification for violation of the treaty by others. C. — Charles E. from the cabinet on Hughes March 4 and Frank B. Kellogg, now ambassador to JLondon, will succeed him as secretary of state. Mr. Hughes has placed his resigna tion in the bynHs yL President Cool idge with a rstli ins l ion of loyalty to his chief, but with request that after pearly 20 years of public service he be permitted to return to private life. The president, accepting the deci sion, expressed regret, warmly praised the retiring secretary’s record of ac complishment since he took charge of the country's foreign affairs four years ago, and bespoke for him a "well- merited repose” after the cares of public responsibility. Ambassador Kellogg, already famil iar with many of the outstanding prob lems of foreign policy through his services at a succession of European conferences, probably will come to Washington soon to serve for a few weeks in the statq department before he takes his new post in March. Alanson B. Houghton, of New York, now ambassador to Germany, has been •elected by President Coolidge to suc ceed Ambassador Kellogg at London. Houghton has attended many of the conferences in European capitals made necessary in the work of rehabilita tion and has first hand knowledge of almost every problem in which this country has an interest. He is 61 years old and was born in Cambridge, Mass.
