Washington. Oct. 90 W1Events of the presidential campaign down to the present time have caused no change in Herbert Hoover's major political strategy of connning his speeches to . discussion of what he conceives to be the issues and to keep clear of exchanges with his democratic opponent and others.
 Leaders to Speak
 Al has been the case in the past, party leaders and speakers are re- plying to the latest attack of Gov ernor Alfred E. Smith. However. in his next address at St. Louis on the night of November 3, Hoover will take up two subjects which Smith has emphasized - waterways devel- opfhent and farm relief.
 The republican standard bearer already has spoken on these. having declared for a coordinated system of inland waterways and for federal financial aid to farm board to aS- sist in meeting the problems of sea- sonal surpluses in the major farm crops. He also has stated that if elected he would invite farm leaders. such az former Governor Frank o. Lowden. into conference to help work out the details.
 Session Undecided
 Whether he would call an extra session of congress to tackle the problem has not yet been conclud- ed. it was stated in an official state- ment made public at the candidate'a personal headquarters yesterday after Governor Adam McMullen. of Nebraska, had said Hoover had in- formed him he would call tho new congress into extraordinary session for this purpose.
 Additional details of tho final western trip which will take Hoover to his California home to vote are now being worked out and tho nom. inee will make a number of ad- dresses aside from tho one at St, Louis during his four dayz' journey to Palo Alto.

While the Importance of this anti

due to the British fear for the per-
manence of its colonial empire and
its open anti-Soviet policy, it is
given even greater Importance by

the European buffer-state bloc, in
which Poland, Rumania and Czecho-

Polish treaty may very well pro-
