PICKARD { RENE, that goddess o! peace, who has become familiar to all crossword puzzlers, was the star performer ot the week. Her gracious presence was manifest ln Washington, London, Paris, Rome, and Mexico; and over in Manchuria she could be seen peering through the fast thinning war clouds. Our own National Capital was the stage for the more formal peace proceedings, for there President Hoover In an impressive ceremony declared effective the Kellogg·Brland treaty tor the renunciation of war as a national policy of the 46 nations that have declared their acceptance of the pact. In the East room of the White House were gathered the representatives of 42 of those countries, together with former President Coolidge, former Secretary of State Kellogg, Senator Borah, and a few other invited guests. At the central seat of a long U-shaped table was the President, with Mr. Coolidge at 'his right. When tl:le diplomats had entered while the Marine band was playing and bad been in.troduced and seated, Mr. Hoover arose, and in a rather cautiously worded address, congratulated the assembly and the nations rl.'presented on the coming into force of "this additional instrument :Ot humane endeavor to do away with •war and to obtain by pacific means ~alone the settlement of international odlsputes." He expressed the thanks of the nation to Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Kellogg, Senator Borah and Representative Swanson for their diplomatic skill, devotion and high service. The President then read hls proclamation making the pact effective. There were no other speeches, and the assemblage ~:~djourned to the state dining room where luncheon was served. with the ceremony C OINCIDENTAL in Washington were ,announcements from London and from the White House of action looking toward real curtailment of .naval building programs by Great Britain and the Unit· ed States. Declaring that his government Is determined to secure a reduction of naval armaments through agreements with America, Prime MinIster MacDonald told the house of commons that work bad been suspend· ed on two cruisers now under con· struction and contracts for a subma· rine depot ship and two submarines had been canceled. This, he indicated. was but the first step in an extensive program which would include not only canceling of contracts for ships contemplated and actually under construction, but also scrapping ships already built. Of his conversations with Ambassador Dawes, Mr. MacDonald said: "We have agreed on a principle of parity, and that, without departing In any way from that principle, a measure of elasticity can be allowed so as to meet the peace requirements of each nation. We have arranged that we shall not allow technical points to override the great public Issues involved in our being able to come to an agreement." The prime minister said that October seemed to be the most likely month when his contemplated visit to President Hoover would take plact>.
