Washington-One upon a time our government appeared to cher ish a theory that we and Great Britain, acting in concert, could rule the international roost.
 Translated into a major item of our foreign relations policies, the program of Anglo American un- derstanding enraged France to the point that for years she has been a thorny stumbling block in every American effort which involved European cooperation.
 Finally the French position military, economic and financial has become so strong and the po- sition of Britain-crippled and virtually at the mercy of the French gold hoard-so propor- tionately weak that the need Of change in method is so obvious that it can no longer be ignored.
 Hence President Hoover's invl- tation to Premier Laval. We are in for a series of personal confer ences at which disarmament, debts and reparations and the gold sit- uation are certain to lead the agenda and France expects to out. line her ideas about security here frankly. The French insist this is the first time we have been willing to listen.
 As late as last June they were complaining that they had again been presented with an accom- plished fact, without advance consultation, in the Hoover mora torium proposal. It seemed to be
 1f hA al nf an A n g o American understanding which had ignored France. Anx- ious days of negotiation which followed at Paris appeared to demonstrate finally that, whatever the merits of our position in vari- ous attempts, we couldn't get away with that sort of thing. Our high officials are no fonder of France, but what with the sad plight of our British friends, the fact that France now almost completely dominates Europe and shares with us possession of three fourths of all the gold, and the vital necessity of French cooper ation in any successful disar- mament conference or any exten- sion of the moratorium, it's no wonder that Hoover is glad to confer with Laval. The French appear to be even more delighted because they feel their European pre-eminence has at last been rec ognfzed.
 The patriotic explanation from some sources here attributes the coming Hoover:Laval meeting to French fears arising from dimin- ishing popularity of France in the United States. It can't be swal- lowed. Since the war France has consistently thumbed her nose at everyone who wouldn't play ac- cording to her rules and the the ory that she could be coerced by world opinion or any other feas- ible form of pressure has been dis proved again and again.
 The Anglo-American under standing, made possible by the fact that policies of the two na- tions coincided in the main. was in effect during the two periods in which England was ruled by Ram say MacDonald's labor govern ment. The tories, during their intervening term of power. ap- peared to prefer to play ball with France. It was in that period that we had our abortive 1921 Geneva naval conference with the British and that the short-lived Anglo French naval agreement was matched. Afterward MacDon. ald became premier again. crossed the ocean to talk with Hoover prior to the London naval confer ence and France, again aggrieveo'

went to the conference with a chip on her shoulder.
 During the postwar era, France, regardless of what she considered the British American setup against her, has strengthened her great military machine, established a hegemony of smaller satellite na- tions, occupied the Ruhr and rubbed Germany's nose in the dirt as often as possible, squawked louder than any other country about paying war debts, restricted results of the Washington naval conference to a limitation of cap- ital ships. refused to attend the Geneva conference, prevented a successful conclusion of the Lon- don conference, demanded more and more security concessions, held up the Hoover moratorium and built up huge gold suprem- acy in Europe.
 It remains to be seen whether France will be more amiable now that she seems to be getting the

After stating the starting lineup

Billy Hayes said of the Irish: "Un-
der the new staff, I am sure the
