THE CABINET: Women on Warships
To President Hoover last week the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom sent a telegram criticizing the warship construction program of the U. S. delegation at the London Naval Conference, asking him to change their tactics. The President did not reply.
In Washington Acting Secretary of State Joseph Potter Cotton heard similar criticisms. His reply, like that of André Tardieu when harassed in the French Chamber of Deputies (TIME, Dec. 30), was: "This business of shooting at the piano player is an indoor sport I deplore."*
*Over the jangling piano of many an old cow-town honkytonk used to hang this notice: "Don't shoot the piano player. He's doing the best he can."
