GIBSON MAY BREAK
ARMS CURBIANGLE
U. S. Representative at Ge
neva Has Covered Question
With Administration.
By th» Associated Press.
Ambassador Hugh Gibson, who is on
his way to Geneva to represent America
at. the comini? session of the League of
Nations’ Preparatory Commission on
Disarmament, may be carrying with
him some new- suggestions from the
Washington Government for breaking
the deadlock that for months has held
the naval reduction problem tightly
within its grasp.
Before sailing for Europe, Mr. Gibson
was a guest at the White House for
more than a week. Three days before
he had planned to leave the Capital,
Secretary Stimson arrived from Manila
to become head of the State Depart
ment and he, too.,was President Hoover's
guest at the Executive Mansion. Then,
Mr. Gibson postponed his departure for
two days so that he might have more
extended conferences with his new
chief.
Situation Studied in Detail.
In his discussions with both Mr.
Hoover and the Secretary, Ambassador
Gibson is known to have gone over the
disarmament situation in minute de
tail. In fact, he was the first person
consulted by Stimson after the latter
had conferred with the President and
with Frank B. Kellogg, his predecessor
at the State Department.
As a result well informed circles
here are of the opinion (hat Mr. Gibson
left with definite instructions as to the
wishes of the administration and pos
sibly some new plan for determining
specific categories of fighting craft,
which Mr. Hoover considers the nub
of the problem.
The present stalemate is the result
of the widely differing naval needs of
Great Britain and the United States.
The former is well provided with fuel
ing bases in all sections of the globe,
and consequently small cruisers. 6.000
tons or thereabouts, fill her require
ments and she is anxious to be well
supplied with these.
U. S. Needs Larger Cruisers.
The United States, on the other
hand, ha* comparatively few such facil
ities and needs large cruisers, ap
proaching the 10.000-ton maximum
Dlaced upon auxiliary craft by the
Washington treaty. The wider cruising
radius of the larger vessels is regarded
as offsetting the lack of fueling bases.
At the Tripartite Conference of 1927
Great Britain insisted upon limiting the
construction and maintenance of the
large type of cruiser, but asked that
the way be left open for building the
smaller variety. To this America could
not agree and the conference ended in
a deadlock that has persisted to the
present time.
In disarmament matters. President
Hoover Is following the general policy
established by the preceding adminis
tration. Indeed, there is virtually unani
mous agreement among observers here
that the Washington Government has
not receded in the slightest degree
from the stand which it took at Geneva.
However. Mr. Hoover is sympathetic

Boy, Eight, Awaits Arrival of Family
In U. S-; All Born in Different Nations
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 10.—If Isaac Rosen
blum, S years old, studies immigration
tables carefully, he may be able to de
termine approximately when ench of
four other members of hta family will
Join him in Chicago.
Isaac arrived Monday. The rest of
the family he left In Havana, each to
await a turn for entering the United
States. . , .
The difficulty lies in the complexity
of nationality.
For instance, Isaac’s father was bom
and it is thought he may have brought
to the presidency some new idea for a
solution which would satisfy the re
quirements of both America and Eng
land. , .
In his opinion the thing to be ac
complished first of all is the negotiation
of an agreement setting forth a method
of evaluating the fighting strength of
war vessels and of dividing navies into
categories affording comparisons on the
basis of which .reductions in armaments
might be effected. This, he feels, is
not a question of tonnage. He believes
that a great deal of misunderstanding
has arisen from a futile attempt to
compare tons with tons, whereas actual
fighting strength is the primary cri
terion and Involves not only displace
ment. but armaments, armor, speed
and age.

GERMANY FACES
CABINET CRISIS
V* * ______
Parliamentary Veto of Fund
for Cruiser and Aviation
Cause Turmoil.
By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 10.—A cabinet crisis
threatened the German government
today as a consequence of parlimen
tary veto yesterday to appropriations
for work on the new 9.000-ton cruiser
and curtailment of aviation subsidies.
Chancellor Mueller, it was said in
parliamentary circles, appeared vexed
at failure of the program of Finance
Minister Hilferding, and resignation
of the cabinet was regraded as easily
possible if some way were not found to
smooth out matters.
The Social Democrats opposed the
battle cruiser, succeeding in denying
the government the 20,000,000 marks
(about $4,800,000) It had asked as the
second Installment of the cruiser build
ing cost.
Curtailment of aviation expenditures
has evoked a storm of protest from
those who believe it will be a death
blow to Zeppelin, Lufthansa and other
aviation enterprises. The 19,000,000
marks assigned the Lufthansa were
cut In half and the sum of 4,500,000
marks for the construction of a new
zeppelln hangar was withdrawn.
A meeting of the board of managing
directors of the Lufthansa was con
vened promptly and declared that the
reduced appropriation entailed “catas
trophic results to the personnel of the
company,” It was said it not only
would paralyze air service In Germany
but might end international flying.
Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the
Graf Zeppelln, a Friedrickshafen, said
that cancellation of the government
appropriation would "seriously endan
ger the development of airship con
struction in Germany."
