AS HOOVER WISHES
Decision Regarding Senate
Seat Will Rest on Confer
ence With President.
BY the Associated Press.


ENGLEWOOD, N. j., April 30.-Am-
bassador Dwight Morrow, home from
the London Naval Conference. left today
| for Washington where he will confer
with President Hoover and officials Of
| the State Department on affairs in Mex
leo and matters pertaining to the naval
parley.
Plans for his campaign for the Re-
publican nomination to the United
States Senate are contingent upon the
outcome of these conferences. While
Mr.. Morrow's friends felt he desired to
return to Mexico before starting work
| in his campaign, his decision will be
predicated upon the wishes of Mr.. Hoo
yer. He plans to remain in Washing
ton for most of a week.
Guillermo Zuerrago, who was de-
Scribed as an envoy from the President
of Mexico. greeted the Ambassador upon
his arrival in New York yesterday. He
had long conference with Mr.. Morrow,
but both refused to discuss their con-
versation. This led to the conclusion
that friends of the Ambassador in the
Mexican government were eager for him
to return to that country before enter
ing into his campaign work.
Silent on Dispatches.
Morrow also was silent on dispatches

ton that his proposed appointment to
the Senate be withheld until the naval
treaty is disposed of. He is to be ap-
pointed to fill the unexpired term of
former Senator Edge, who resigned to
become Ambassador to France, but he
actually will succeed Senator David
Baird, jr., who agreed to serve in the
past until Mr.. Morrow would be avail
able at the termination of the Naval
H. LA.
porters express the belief that Mr.. Nor
row win not take his proffered seat in
the Senate until after the primary June
IL, in which he will be a candidate for
the full term.
Meanwhile the date Of his withdrawal
from the diplomatic service is still in the
indefinite stage So far as public knowl-
edge is concerned
Success Due to Stimson.
In radio address from his home TO-
day Ambassador Morrow declared that
whatever success was attained at the
Naval Disarmament Conference in Lon
don sis due in a great measure to the
integrity, the courage, the industry and
the constant patience of Secretary
Stimson, the head of the delegation"
He pointed out that limitation Of
ornaments in all classes of naval yes
sells among the three great naval pow
erS of the world was obtained and
also some reduction effected.
mot as much as we desired" he
said, "but more than there could have
been if there had been no naval con-
ference. We carried on the work that
was begun in Washington eight years
ago. We have now made a substantial
beginning in the substitution of open
prescribed limitation for competition
in naval armament.
Competition Breeder Of Distrust.
"I am not sure" he continued, that
the people of the United States appre-
ciate how much danger to international
peace turks In naval competition. It
Is not too much to say that all nations
upon this earth look upon their arma-
ment as defensive. All armament Is
defensive from the point Of view of
the nation behind the armament. But
all armament Is also potentially Of
fensive to those nations on the other
side of the armament. This means that
competition Is inevitably a breeder Of
mistrust and fear.
"Armaments feed on ornaments. In
the vicious circle international trouble
almost inevitably comes. In my opin-
ion nothing had more to do with the
last great war than the intense COM
petition in armament which preceded
1t. It is, therefore, well worth while
to spend some time avoiding naval
competition. The essence of agree
ments for limitation of armament is
that competition Is to be avoided"
