Solution Comes Naturally
With Hughes in the state depart
meNt pulling iir cne direction and
Rorah pulling in the opposite direc-
tion for Russian recognition and a
hands-off policy in the Caribbean,
Mr.. Coolidge. was faced with an ap-
narentlv insoluble party problem.
The solution came in the unsought
resignation of Hughes.
kellogg is expected to meet Borah
half way. As a senator he voted
for Borah's proposal to authorize
President Harding 10 call an arms
conference. On the other hand. he
voted to ratify the treaty of Yer
sailles which Borah opposed. On
Russia and Caribbean policy, his
position is not clearly defined in
the records.
Kellogg s practical experience as
a diplomat in London and his natu-
raj conservative tendencies will bal
ancc the more "liberal' policies of
Borah, leaving to the President the
ultimate decisions which have hith-
erto almost solely been in Hughes
hands.
The President is taking over con-
troll at Il time of natural transition
in American foreign affairs when
many of Hughes policies have cul-
minated and a fresh situation is de-
