The Hoover Doctrine

In MS f1rst message to a regular Ses-
sion of Congress President Hoover tc-
day gave pride Of place to the ef1cary
OF the INSTRUMENTATION pact as an
agency for preserving peace. BY a CO.
Incidence of unusual significance. the
Presidents acclaim of the anti-war
treaty synchronizes to the hour with
the action of the United States in
leaeuing the fitty-four Sienatory natiors
in an effort TO halt the Russo Chint re
hostilities in Msnchuria. The embers
OF that conflict, dangerous as they are
FOR the countries directly at issue, have
even more combustible possibilities for
the world at large, because a blaze in
Eastern Asia could hardly fail to be-
come, an International conf1agration.
Mr.. Hoover tells Congress that
through the Kellogg BRAND pact a
great moral standard has been raised
in the world. Since its Inauguration we
have initiated new efforts not only IN
the organization OF the machinery OF
peace, but also TO eliminate dangerous
forces which produce controversies
amongst nations" Later on, in the
same passage, the President reports
how. in the hope of reducing friction
in the world, We have joined in con-
ference with Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan, to be held in Lon
don in January. TO consider the further
limits zion ana reduction Of naval
arms
President Hoover affirms that ito pro-
mote peace Is our long established
policy He does not on this occasion
lake Congress specifically into his con-
f1dence as to how he purposes achieving
peace. But the steps to end the Man
churian imbroslio are an action which
speaks louder than the words in the
Presidents message. The Associated
Press describes the mobilization of
world public opinion" to avert war in
the Far East as the most compreher-
sive move for peace that has ever
been made in the history of American,
and probably world, diplomacy"
1t deserves that description because
Secretary Stimson has appealed to all
of the United States co-signatories of
the General Pact for Remuneration of
War to urge upon China and Soviet
Russia cessation of hostilities. They
are not urged to join any coercion ex-
cept the power of persuasion. They are
not asked to threaten physical pressure
or embargoes of any sort. They are
invited to exercise, purely and simply,
the sanctions of public opinion" in
striking contradiction to the sanctions
Of force envisioned by the articles of the
League of Nations.
Thus is seen In full, dramatic and
-girdling action the working of the
Hoover doctrine In world Affairs doc
trine founded on the belief that, how
ever indispensable an adequate defen.
sive establishment may be, the prodi-
eious power of the worlds will for ,peace,
promptly and effectively manifested, is
a sure preventive of war
1t will be an interesting, and, indeed,
an epochal, development in interna.
tional relations If, on the occasion of
this first acid test, the Hoover doctrine
serves its great and pacific purpose.

Mr.. Morrow in the Senate

The intention of Gov. Larson of New
Jersey to appoint Ambassador Dwight
w. Morrow TO serve out the latter half
OF Ambassador Walter Z. Edges unex-
pired term in the United States Senate
Is as stimulating a piece of news as
has made the front page in many

decision. This can be said without
prejudice TO Republican Jerseymen like
former Senator Frelinehuysen. who
promptly announces his determine ton
10 hight Mr.. Morrow Ito the end for
the regular senatorial nomination next
year.
Mr.. Morrow Is to enter the Senate
at the end of his present duty, which
shortly will comprehend the period of
the London naval conference. He will
be one of the seven American delegates
there. Presumably his active senatorial
career will be OF round years dura-
ton, from March, 1890, to March, 1891,
II he aspires to perpetuate himself In
the Senate, Mr.. Morrow will have to
obtain nomination In the New Jersey
primaries next year and then be elected
in the succeeding November. The tenn
porary incumbent of the Edge seat. Mr..
Baird, appears to have had string tied
to his recent appointment by Gov. Lar

U. S. Delegates to London
Praised as Balanced Group

The selection of A common sense
delegation, as one newspaper calls IL. Il
represent the United States at the nava
conference in London seems to assure
definite and we'll directed action, in tho
opinion of the press. The diversity OIL
viewpoints presented-military ant
civilian, technical and diplomatic
comes in for favorable comment from
many sources.
High hopes which President Hoover
holds for the forthcoming conference,
in the Judgment of the Utica Observer.
Dispatch, ARE reflected in the size anc
makeup of the commission he ha,
named to represent the Nation. The
commission is far from possessing a big
navy complexion. yet it does not lear
on the other hand to paciflsm. In addi-
ton to its seven members it has two
high officers of the Navy who will serve
as technical advisers. 1t hes an ad-
mirable balance of diplomatic expert
ence, sound technical knowledge anC
common sense. of which the most i'm.
portant is the last"
what Mr. Hoover wants and what he
has sought to assure" as interpreted BY
the Richmond News-Leader. "is the
spirit of cancellation. the will to peace
and that paper feels that perhaps hi
does not want too much technical
knowledge, lest he get too much of the
doctrinaire spirit along with it."
point which is made by the News-LeadeI
is that the commission consists almost
entirely of the new men,; that al
the Republicans are either Mr. Hoover:
own finds or men who have come tC
the front since the World War, except
for Secretary Stimson. And even Slim
son in some sense has been 'rediscov-
cred by the administration.
President Hoover reveals a choice OF
personnel which should appeal most
favorably to his countrymen," according
to the Kalamazoo Gazette, which con-
tinues: In addition to the prominence
of the members themselves. the average
observer is quickly impressed by tho
civilian character of the commission
thus selected. Three of the delegates
four of them If Secretary Stimson is tC
be so classed-are diplomats. Two Of
them are Senators. and the only repre-
sentation granted the Navy Department
is to be supplied by Its civilian head"
Common sense has a bright oppor-
tunity to be the dominating factor al

egation." declares the Worcester Tele-
gram. which also states as to the per-
sonnet: Mr.. Hoover selects a delega-
ton to command national confidence
and international respect. While 1t in

character Is such as to raise 1t beyond
any issue of partisanship It is neither

" before dusk last night, pre-
sented rsvoIvers at astonished
clerks, forced them into back

Howard and James Compton,
brothers who live in the 1900

clerks. They said last night that
one OF the bandits stood guard
over them while the other went
through various cases.
The two robbers, one well
dressed and middle aged and the
other younger but wearing shabby
raiment, were IN the store about
fifteen minutes before the rob-
berry occurred. At that time
they priced several watches but
bought none. They left but re-
turned with gums In their hands.
Although the street was
crowded at the time no one saw
the robbers leave.
