Patient Flooding
Necessary

WASHINGTON, Jan. S-(P-As
viewed from Washington, the Lon

picture In historic contrast to the
memorable outlines Of the gather

set by difficulties TO be traversed
only by patient Flooding. All give
every evidence Of confidence In the
ultimate result; but they recognize
fully that the circumstances and
the methods Of 1921 are not the
circumstances and the methods OF

were expected, but predicted that
eventually the spokesman OF the
United States, Great Britain, Japan,
France and Italy would find a COM

peace.
The contrast between London In
