State Secretary Hull himself is sup

been postponed instead Of being can

when peace is nenased.
II the United States agrees

will refrain from any action OF
that nature to hinder collective
efforts to restore peace.
This doctrine was considered by
the League Of Nations as an
abandonment of Americas tradi-
tional policy Of isolation and was
announced in an eagerly awaited
speech this afternoon.
The doctrine was taken to mean
that when nations take punitive
measures against an aggressor. the
United States, II Il agrees to the
identity Of the aggressor, will not
insist upon rights Of neutrality.
Davis also announced the Unit
