STIMSON POLICY
VIEWED KEY TO
ARMS SLASHES
Senate Scans Gradual Cut
Doctrine in Acting on
Naval Treaty.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Behind
the roar of debate, the thing that
will make or break the London
naval pact in the senate is what
might be called "StimSon doctrine"
or the idea of arms reduction by
frequent conference, revision and
improvement.
When the Washington conference
was called in 1921 there was no
thought of making it merely the
first of a long series Of such parleys.
Nor was the situation any different
when the Geneva conference was
called in 1927. However, today the
idea of Secretary of State Stin1son
is to confer periodically, every few
years, step by step arriving at ultl-
mate disarmament.
The doctrine" first was preached
by Stimson in his initial speech at
the opening of the London confer
ence, and in its way it was as star
ting as Secretary Of State Hughes
~battleship scrapping proposition
was some nine years before.
In effect, Stimson said the time
now is past when diplomats have
anything to gain at such confer
ences by seeking to trick each other
into a disadvantage. Obviously, all
the nations there had come volun-
tarily and if any one of them felt it
had been tricked, it not only would
proceed to get out of the hole into
which it had been Unanswered, but
would stay away from such confer
enceS in future. World peace and
understanding thus would be set
back, instead of advanced.
Arms limitation, he went on to
say, is a continuous process. dis
armament Is a goal to be reached
by successive steps, by frequent re-
vision and improvement" And, he
added, while naval disarmament,
Of course, was the business of the
moment, our ultimate aim is a gen.
eral solution Of the disarmament
problem and a consequent lessen
ing of the risks of war"

u. S. LEANS TO LEAGUE
Now Lacks Only Representation in
Peace Council, Assembly.
BIZ United Press

BU United Press
WASHINGTON, July 14.-The
United States now lacks only rep
resentation in the League of Ma
tons council and assembly to par
ticipate fully in virtually every non
political league activity, the For
eign Policy Association stated here
today in an extensive review OF
United States relations with the
league.
Whereas less than ten years ago
President Harding was advocating a
policy of indifference toward the
league, the association points out
that now the United States is a
party to the nine nonpolitical league
conventions. It asserts that the
drift toward cooperation with the
league has been so gradual that it
has been almost u~nperceived.
