Hoover Peace Strategy
Is Seen in Delegation

From the Milwaukee, Journal.
The extent of the battle that has
been going on at Washington between
the navalists and the diplomats over
preparations for the London peace con-
ference Is revealed by the appointment
of the Secretary of the Navy. Charles
Francis Adams, to the offIciHl delega-
ton. He, with Ambassador Dawes and
Ambassador Morrow. completes the list
OF seven. The other four, Secretary of
State Stimson, Ambassador Gibson and
Senator's Reed and Robinson, were
named some time ago.
It Is strong delegation, with q coed
balance of mental outlook and tempera-
ment, but certainly the preponderance
of power lies with the diplomats. That
Is what has been irking the Navy. Ad-
miral Jones gave voice to 1t when he
let 1t be known he was seriously con-
sidering declination Of the Presidents
invitation to go as technical adviser.
He felt that the Navy would not be In
a position to voice its protests, IL pro-
tests were needed. 1t was good point,
within limitations.
But the history of naval conferences
shows pretty clearly that when the ad-
mirals OF opposing fleets sit down at a
table, they get nowhere. Geneva was
an example. So, some months ago,
President Hoover, as is shown by the
most recent speech OF Ambassador
Dawes, adopted the plan Of letting the
State Department and the Navy De-
partment fight out their differences be-
fore they crossed the water. That also
led to difficulties. The Navy was
willing to proceed in that manner and
then let the diplomats carry the agree
ment to London, provided 1t be MADE
into hard-and-fast set of proposals
from which there was to be no de-
parture. The State Department de-
clined, on the ground that there must
be freedom for adjustments.
Mr.. Hoover thus found himself the
center of a storm that threatened to
wreck his delegation. He takes a way
out by sending both the head OF the
State Department and the head OF the
Navy Department to London, but with
Mr.. Stimson in the place OF honor, with
three diplomats to back him up. Tho
Navy will have voice, but 1t will be
the voice of its civilian head, not that
OF an admiral. To that extent tile
President avoids criticism which might
later arise that the Navy was ignored.
and also minimizss the dangers of
conference failure because Of irrecon-
cilable naval opinions.

The names of Senators william E.

linked in a new book. Love the Law of
Life by Toyof1iKo Kagawa, just issued
by the John G. Winston Co. of Philadel-

Lamenting the "fsmine of love-"
which he sees everywhere, the Japanese
author, said to be the outstanding Jap
anese Christian. scorns both the sword
and money as means for the regenera-
ton of fhe world
LOOK at the faces Of those United
States Senator's" he declared, in the
prologue to his book. How eloquent
sound Borah's Justice and Hiram
Johnson'S Patriotism! When men live
next door to hell, 1t is true, 1 suppose,
that hate and disdain sound like Justice
and patriotism.
CLANS mistreat one another; races

return to the pure love of Jesus Christ,
comes in this book from across the
Pacific Where the author is we'll known
for his simple life among the poor, his
interest in social service and his work

Immediately after voicing his wonder
so naively over Senator's Borah and

following invocation:

waste? Where wilt thou find a foun-

The Riddle of the East.

The Russia-Ch imbroglio may
possibly be becoming less complex by
recent happenings, but understanding
of the situation is growing more difficult
through successive announcements that
come from the Far East. A few days
ago it was stated With evidently sound
authority that Mukden, meaning the
government Of the three Eastern prov.
inces known collectively as Manchuria,
had made overtrres to Russia fer a
separate peace" following somasdceided
Russian successes IN ttes fela, This
proposal involved the establishment
Of the status quo ante, or condition
prior to the break, particularly the res
toration of the Russian genzral man
ager Of the Chinese Eastern Railway.
New comes word from Marking that
the Nationalist government Of China
wl1itf evidently was taken by surprise
by Mukden's action-hss forwarded to
Moscow a proposal for settling the dis
pute. On examination this proposal,
given in outline IN an official statement
from the Nationalist foreign ONCE,
does not go very far 1t is in alterna-
tive form: First. that a Sino- Russian
Joint commission be formed composed
of equal numbers of Chinese and Rus
SLAMS with neutral as chairman, to
investigate conditions on the borders;
or, that both sides withdraw their troops
thirty miles from the border to await
settlement of the issues. A state
ment Is appended that the acceptance
of either proposal "wilI be taken to m
dicate that the Soviet government has
adopted A peacsfui policy toward China
wf1flc rejection Will indicate that RUS
sia entertains warlike ambitiods towaTe
China" Then follows this suggestive
sentence: THE Nationalist government
will be prepared to meet Soriet moves
accordingly"
Meanwhile, certSin moves which are
not particularly clear are being made
in behalf Of China, or by China. to in.
yoke international intercession with
Russia. One plan is that the League
of Nations take a hand, although
neither Russia nor the United States Il
member of the Lsssae. Another plar
is that Russia be summoned under th'
/ Kellogg treaty to submit the case to srbi
tration. Another is for direct inter
vent.on by the United States and Ger
many to bring Russia to the point o
reasonable settlement without war
Nothing is clearly defined respecting
this aspect of the situation.
