Weighty Questions Hover.
While the program was confined tc
economic subjects. other weighty ques-
tions hovered in the background, in
Guiding the question of the open
although undeclared, warfare between
Japan and China which has disturbed
world diplomacy for two years.
Paying its first formal call at the
State Department, the japanese dele
cation consisted of Viscount Ishii
Ambassador Debuchi and Eigo Fukai

President Roosevelt intends to make
his new peace policy effective without
CHANGING rejection by the Senate, ira
ditional defender of American isolation
If a satisfactory arms reduction
agreement is reached at Geneva. the
Roosevelt doctrine of interference
with cooperative efforts to enforce
peace will be summed up in a declara-
tion signed only by the United States
and thus not requiring Senate ratif1ca-
tion.
Made Clear BY Davis.
This was made clear through the
amplification by Norman H. Davis,
Roosevelt ambassador at large, of the
American position before the delegates
at Geneva, which included one other
statement considered of highest i'm
portance here.
After an "aggressor nation" has been
American interference with the
efforts of consulting nations to main
tain peace will 60 to the extent of re-
fusing protection to American citizens
engaging in activities tending to defeat
those efforts.
To the Senate will 60 the arms reduc-
ton treaty, when and II it Is signed
Two-thirds Of the Senate must approve
to make it effective. But the peace
policy will not be included.
The new doctrine, however, appar-
emily would be bound up inextricably
with the treaty and undoubtedly would
be the major subject of Senate debate
But even If the treaty were rejected Mr.
Roosevelt would in no way be bound to
modify the peace policy.
Highly pleased by signs Of progress
at Geneva, Mr.. Roosevelt continued to-
day his close watch on Developments
there. but concentrated on filling the
delegation to the London World Eco
nomic Conference.
1t must sail next Wednesday and
prompt appointment Of two or three
more members is urgent.
Wadsworth Likely Appointee.
Representative James w. Wadswortt
was regarded as a likely appointee
Senator johnson Of California late YES
terday declined an invitation to go.
Mr.. Roosevelt earlier yesterday hat
named Representative Sam D. Nc
Reynolds Of Tennessee to the delega-
ton.
Johnson's declination to serve on the
delegation did not come altogether as
a surprise. As he left the White House
after making his views known to the
President the Californian said he ap-
preciated the honor, but that 1t wa
to 60.
Reports have been current that Mr.
Roosevelt was finding some difficulty IN
filling out his delegation because OF
the decision to limit the daily allow
ances of representatives to $6, far less
than 1t would cost them to live IL
London.
