SENATE OPPOSES
SHOALS OPERATION
Washington, D. C. — Government
operation of Muscle Shoals was dis
approved by the senate, 48 to 37. The
vote came on the question of substi
tuting the Underwood leasing bill for
the Norris government operation plan.
The effect of the vote was to kill the
Norris measure, but the Underwood
bill still is before the senate and open
to amendment. Several substitutes
for the Underwood bill have been pro
posed and republican leaders are hope
ful of getting the subject off the sen
ate calendar temporarily, at least, by
the end of this week.
The senate also rejected the Wads
worth amendment to the Underwood
Muscle Shoal■ bill Which would have
given a commission of experts com
plete power to dispose of the gigantic
project without reference to congress
The vote was 65 to 5.
MOVE WORLD COURT ENTRY
Substitute for Pepper Plan Offered by
Ohio Senator.
Washington, D. C.—A resolution pro
posing entry of this nation into the
world court was introduced in th«
senate by Senator Willis, republican,
Ohio. It carries a provision embody
Ing the recommendation of President
Coolidge that the United States shall
not be bound by any advisory opinion«
of the court.
The resolution is in the nature ol
a substitute for that offered by Sen
ator Pepper, republican, Pennsylvania,
at the last session, and with other
proposal will come before the senits
foreign relations committee, when the
whole world court subject will be con
sidered.
Besides eqibodying the recommends
tion made by President Coolidge in
his annual message last month, the
Willis proposal contains the reserva
tions put forward by Secretary Hughei
and approved by President Harding.

COOUDGE AGAINST
ELEVATION OF GUNS
Washington, D. 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.

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.
