Hoover Is Believed to Have
Launched a CoIlaborative
Move With Great Britain
APPROVES TONNAGE PLANS
America Attaches More lmpor-
lance to Friendship Than
Naval Supremacy

Geneva. April 22.-(P)-Hugh. S.
Gibson, American ambassador to Bel
GUM, presenting an eagerly awaited
American thesis before the prepar-
atory disarmament commission today,
appealed for = fresh examination Of
the entire problem based on the idea
that all nations are going to be
friends and settle their difficulties by
peaceful means.
Through MIR. GibSonS address,
President Hoover is generally deemed
in Geneva to have launched an i'm
portant move to place the relations
between the United States and Great
Britain on q firm foundation of COL
liberation and friendliness.
Mr.. Gibson's declaration Of Amer
lean policy, in brief. was q statement
to the world that the United States
was ready to make substantial reduc-
tions in naval strength and sought a
common sense naval agreement based
on the idea that nations are going to
be friends.
Agree With France
The United States he explained,
had found no reason for modifying
its view that the simplest. faircst and
most practical method is that of linn
itation by tonnage of categories. At
the same time he announced that in
the hope of facilitating a general
agreement as to naval ornaments,
the American government was dis
posed to accept the French proposal
whereby a total tonnage would be
assigned to each nation and this total
divided among categoricS Of ships by
specified tonnageS as a basis Of dis
cussion.
BY todays appeal President Hoover
was felt here to have assured Great
Britain, through Mr.. Gibson, that the
United States attaches more impor-
lance to friendships with Britain
than to any possible American naval
supremacy, and that 1t was no OK
aggeration to say that the American
declaration profoundly affected inter-
national life as reflected in the pre-
paratory disarmament conference.
Powers Hail Address
Lord Cusherden of Great Britain
and the representatives of the three
remaining big naval powers. Japan
France and Italy, all Immediately
hailed the spirit of Mr.. Gibson''
statement and expressed the convic-
ton that 1t held out high hopes fol
settlement of the naval problem.
Lord Cushcndun was followed b!
N. sato, of Japan, who announced
Tokyo had also been studying the
question of categories of warsflips ane
was likely to have some proposals t.
make. He stressed Japan's welcome
of the cordial friendly spirit Of thu
American declaration.

Finder, Unable to Land. Drops
Parachute With Water, but
Figure Is MotionIess

Sydney, N. S. W., April 22.-(F>-
Six airplancs were headed today to-
ward the fastncss of the Tanimi des-
crt, Northern territory. where the
plane Kooka Burra of Lieutenant
Keith Anderson was seen yesterday
with body beneath one Of its wings.
The planes, carrying food and med
ical supplies, sought to learn the fate
of Lieutenant Anderson and Robert
Hitchcock. who Is days ago started in
search of the then lost Southern
Cross. only to come to grief them
selves.
The Kooka Burra was sighted yes
terday by a searching plane. the At
lanta. in charge Of pilot named
Brain. Brain was on his way to Wave
Hill to join the party searching for
the flyers when smoke attracted his
attention.
Drops Chute With Water
Drawing nearer and flying over It,
he saw beneath him tho Kooka Burra,
body stretched out under one of its
wings. Swooping lower. he thought he
could make out Lieutenant Anderson.
He dropped a parachute containing
water. but when the figure did not
move he concluded he was dead.
He saw nothing of the second man
aboard the plane. The smoke which
attracted his attention came from a
section of grass and brush which had
been set afirc near by, evidently in
the hope Of attracting attention. The
fire had long since died down. but
was still smoldering somewhat.
The Atlanta's pilot saw what APP
peared to him to be a runway con-
structed in front OF the grounded
plane. with some of the engines cowl-
ing lying near by. In his hurried ex-
animation he was unable to find a
place to land. but it was presumed
there was a place available somewhere
near by.
In Uninhabited Section
The position was given as 30 miles
from PowcllS creek and 375 miles
north Of Alice Springs in wild and
uninhabited section of Northern ter
ritory. Brain flew back to Wave Hill
and pack train almost Immediately
started in the direction he had de-
Scribed.
| Hope was held here that the figure
seen below the plane was only ex-
hausted and not dead. and that the
otl1e: of the two men would be found
alive and safe. Brain said the plane
did not appear to be damaged.
Lieutenant Anderson formerly Wa.

workability of the debenture plan has
not been changed" Mr.. Hoover. ex-
pressing deep regret that Il can not

dom is obedience to Law; that liberty
itself has but one foundation, and
that is In the law.
( A surprising number Of our people.

traordinary notion that laws are
made for those who choose to obey
them.
Our law enforcement machinery is
suffering from many infirmities aris-
ing out of its technicalities. its cir
cumlocutions. its involved procedures,
and. too often, I regret. from ineffi- :,
cient and delinquent officials.
Twenty times as many people in
proportion to population are law
lessly killed In the United States as
In Great Britain.
In many of our great cities murder
can apparently be committed with
impunity.
What we are facing today Is Xxx X

New York, April 2?.-(P)-EIere are
some pungent expressions used by
President Hoover In his law enforce

luncheon Of the Associated Press:
II q law is wrong, its rigid enforce

No individual has the right to de-
