could afford.
At the outbreak of the World War
graduates of the Rhode Island war
school were stationed in positions of
great responsibility. There were not
nearly enough of them to go around,
however. Many of the staff officers
and those placed in charge of impor-
tant sea commands had been we'll
trained in the school of practical sea
experience, but had never attended
classes at the maritime war school.
Similar conditions existed in the Brit
iSh and French navies.
During the past nine years out
standing attention has been paid by the
Navy Department to the Naval War
College. Admiral Sims, always an ar
dent champion of such advanced edu-
cation, served as its president for three
years after the war. The curriculum
was broadened. Advanced courses in
history, strategy, tactics and logisticS
were introduced. "Logistics," term

GENEVA, Jan. 10.-The League OF
Nations celebrated its ninth birth
day Wednesday, frankly specializing
on what will be the policy of the
coming Hoover administration to-
ward the league.
While the latter was chock full
of nine-year-old conviction that it
will live to reach its tenth birthday
and lso its hundredth, whether the
United States joins the league or
not, yet it also frankly admitted
that a continuation of the United
States collaboration is capable of
furnishing it's youthful organism
with lots of life giving vitamines.

through three different American
administrations and if during the

RECOGNITION OF
RUSSIA ARISES
TO vEx HOOVER
Borah and Other Leaders
Expected to Advocate
Favorable Action.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. - The
possibility of Russian recognition by
the incoming Hoover administration
has aroused considerable private
discussion at the capital where the
matter soon may be debated pub
licly.
While none Of the various leaders
in congress processes to have ary di-
rec word from President-Elect Hoo
yer as to how he feels on the sub
ject. several Of his friends, notably
Chairman Borah of the senate for
eign relations committee, favor
Russian recognition and believe the
drift Of recent events make the step
more likely now than at any time
in the past.
Borah is author of a resolution in
troduced last December and now
pending in his committee.
1t is one of the shortest resolu-
tons submitted in congress and
states merely:
Resolved, That the senate of the
United States favors the recognition
Of the present Soviet government
of Russia"
Borah has not sought to get any
action on or discussion Of the re-
solution because he has been oc-
cupied with other subjects. partic-
ularly the pending Kellogg anti
war treaty.

lief organization to the problems
then under his control.
There are two opposing groups
in congress, one believing Hoover
might favor Russian recognition be-
cause of desire to promote trade
with that nation. and the other
group, which is heavily in the ma
jority, thinking he would not de-
sire, at least early in his admins
tration, to change one of the most
prominent of the foreign policies
of the last two Republican admin
istrationS.
The question revolves partic,

by the senate, Borah is expected to
press for action on his resolution in
the committee, with a view to hav-
ing it reported to the floor of the
senate for discussion.
Whether it can pass the senate
depends primarily on whether Pres
ident-Elect Hoover has any objec-
tions to it.
Hoover's public utterances have
made no direct reference to diplo-
matte recognition, being confined
during his secretaryship of COM
merce to the question of commercial
development and during his chair

league, the latter win have little
complaint to make.
First Contact With Wilson
The leagues first contact with an
American administration came dur
ing the closing years of President
Wilson'S last term, when the bitter
death struggle in the senate relative
to the league appeared to leave the
latter little hope of ever getting a
friendly hand from the American
government.
This same glacial attitude was
maintained during the first years Of
the Harding administration, when
Secretary of State Hughes, who is
now occupying the post of one Of
the judges of the leagues perma-
nent court of international justice
at The Hague, refused even to ac-
knowledge the receipt of communi-
cations from the league.
During the closing years of the
Harding administration, however
there was a gradual thawing out Of
relations between the state depart
ment and the league, which Gull
minated in the Harding effort tc
have the United States adhere at
least to The Hague court.
United States Drawn In
During the Coolidge administra-
ton this policy Of collaboration with
the league was carried to such adj
vanced degree, that at present the
United States is participating in
virtually all league activities except
those Of purely political or in
ternal nature.
Hoover, as secretary of commerce
has during the last few years con-
trihuted very largely to the develop
ment of this policy of league CO.
