CALLS ON EUROPE
TO UPHOLD PACTS
Hoover, in Address, Agrees
Critics May Make Kellogg
Treaties Worthless.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Like his predecessors, Presidcn.
Hoover selected Memorial day as the
occasion for an expression of foreign
policy. The speech was intended more
for consumption abroad than at home.
Sentiment for peace and limitation OF
armament needed no stimulus inside
the United States. But the stabilizing
of European currents of conflict was
Mr.. Hoover'S objective, with the idea.
too, that the American initiative would
be greeted with more support If the
public opinion of the whole world were
prepared for real sacrifices in limit
ing armament.
It has been represented to the Presi-
dent that when the Kellogg treaties
we're signed. the wave of enthusiasm
that swept Europe was such that i'm
mediately thereafter almost any rea-
Sonable proposals for limiting arma-
ment would have been accepted. But
since that time those who constantly
see war as an inevitable instrumental
ity of national policy have begun
speaking lightly of the treaties and
biguous and meaningless.
Depend on Moral Force.
The true significance of Mr.. Hoover's
speech is that he agrees the Kellogg
treaties can be made worthless II such
assault on them is continued. He
asserts, in effect, that the Kellogg
treaties depend entirely on moral force
for their sanction and II the critics get
the upper hand and take the view that
the treaties were mere lip service the
tendency of the nations of the world
will be not necessarily to discard or
repudiate them, but to ignore them.
Mr.. Hoover began, therefore, the first
of what might be called successive steps
to remind the world that the declara-
tons of purpose contained in the KEEL
logg treaties meant what they said. He
is trying, in other words, to bind the
nations morely close to the professions
of those treaties than perhaps was even
originally intended. BY declaring that
large armies and navies are inconsistent
with the spirit and the letter of the
Kellogg pactS. Mr.. Hoover has taken
the initiative in challenging all govern
ments to prove that their armament is
defensive and not offensive. The Presi-
dent focuses attention on the need for
rational yardstick" with which to
measure the defensive armament OF
nations.
He hints at the importance of dis
cussing national aspirations which may
be taken to mean that the field of
treaty making has not been narrowed
but enlarged by the Kellogg pacts. For
If the only claim for defensive arma-
ment is the possibility of being attacked,
then the next step is to bring the poten-
tial foes together into further arbitra-
ton or Cancellation treaties.
Mr.. Hoover's emphasis on limitation
of armament as a natural sequel of
the Kellogg treaties is not unexpected,
but it clears the air for the whole world
and makes it evident that the foreign
policy of the United States Is to be
maintained aggressively in the direc-
ton of world peace as developed by
American Presidents of both political
parties since the war.

ILLNESS OF KING
|. S|LENCES THRONGS
Gay Election Crowds Read
Word of Relapse AnxiousIy
Under Street Lamps.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Chicago Daily News
LONDON, May 3l.-Tens of thou
sands of people packed the London
squares last night and today cheering
and jeering every time results of the
elections were announced. 1t was a
sporting crowd, and the cheers and
jeers were good humored.
London was having little bit of fun
There was dead silence, however,
toward morning, when the newsboys,
instead of shouting Another Tory
Eaten Up" announced 'The King Ill
Again"
Cold Contracted Sunday.
There was q rush and evening papers
were actually snatched from the boys
hands. Groups gathered under street
lights reading anxiously the informa-
ton given the press from Windsor
Castle.
The King is suffering from a fever
1sh cold, and Lord Dawson of Penn
who returned to England by air or
wednesday, together with Sir Stanley
Hewett, are in attendance again."
The feverish cold was contracted by
the King presumably on the Queen S
birthday last Sunday, when the royal
family went picnicking at Frogmore. 1t
is, in itself, not serious. But every one
realized Immediately that even a slight
clod might prove fatal to the man who
almost miraculously escaped death only
few months ago.
Lord Dawson told the Kings en-
tourage that they were i'll advised to
let the monarch attend the picnic,
which was held under yew tree in
Frogmore Park. 1t is true that the sun
was shining, but there was a cold wind
which caused the feyerish attack.
Slight Fever Noticed.
When Dr. Martyr, surgeon apothe-
cary to the Kings household at Wind
sor noticed that the King had a slight
temperature, he ordered him to stay in
bed and got in touch with Hewett
Later, when no distinct improvement
made its appearance, Hewett wired to
Lord Dawson. who was spending a
holiday IN France, urging him to return
to England at once.
The Kings principal physician ar
rived at Croydon Aerodrome yesterday
and proceeded to Windsor Immediately.
On the first examination the patient
seemed satisfactory.
The public remembers that last No
vember the first announcement was
THE King is suffering from a cold with
some fever" The fever then was due
TO infection of the lung by streptococcal
germs which found their way into the
blood stream. This time it appears so
far that the fever is not due to any in
lection, but to an ordinary chill. So
the public anxiety is not so great as it
might be.
The fact, however, that the King has
just recovered from a very severe i'll
ness. naturally causes apprehension
throughout the country.
