STIMSON FIXES
FIRM POLICY

The United States today stood
at the crossroads of international
policy, with one signboard point
ing the road Of peace thanked with
fences of paper promises, and an
other pointing a road of orderly
respect backed by a formidable
Navy.
In effect, the United States
has asked Japan which road we
shall travel. Secretary of State
Stimson has bluntly notified
Japan that unless that country
is willing more strictly to observe
both the letter and the spirit Of
her paper promises, the United
States is determined to rely for
her own protection upon some.
thing more substantial than
international treaties.
This is the substance of the
Interpretation placed upon Slim
sons open letter to Senator
Borah (RO of Idaho, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee, in which he infer,
entially charged Japan with will
fl violation of the nine power
treaty and declared that this
treaty could not be diSregarded
without abrogating all the other
treaties signed at the washington
conference in 1922.
Qualification was expressed by
numerous Senate leaders that
Stimson had decided upon a more
positive policy.
