below the strength prescribed at the
Washington conference for naval dis-
arment. President Coolidge said he
didn't believe it. Secretary Wilbur
denied it.
Secretary Wilbur, -flying in the{
face of the recent tendency toward the

ence, among other things, branded war
as "thelaw of the jungle",, "organiz-

der. (This was aimed at the propos-
al to modify the liquor laws.) It also

On April 11, President Coolidge
sent a special message to the Senate,
in which he protested strenuously ag-
ainst the hiring of Francis J. Heney,
lawyer, to investigate the official ac-
tivities of Secretary Mellon. On May

ear to its chief, and authorized the
employ of Heney, or any other attor-
with the People's parties. The aims
of the nationalist party are to re-es-
tablish the monarchy, but they are
formulating a more moderate policy
at present. It is rumored that ac-
