BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

The few sentences which President
Roosevelt used yesterday to outline
Americas foreign policy under his
administration will have more re-
sounding effect abroad, and especially
in the Far East, than all the long and
complex notes and communications
sent heretofore.
The President stated, "In the field
Of world policy would dedicate this
Nation to the policy Of good neigh
bor-the neighbor who resolutely re-
spects himself, and, because he does so
respects the rights OF others-the
neighbor who respects his obligations
and respects the sanctity Of his agree
ments in and with a world Of
neighbors."
Gone seem the days Of that's off" to
the League Of Nations. In diplomatic
quarters, where the Presidents speech
has naturally been widely commented,
the inaugural address in general, and
the short paragraph referring to
foreign affairs in particular, has
created deep impression, because the
feeling in those quarters is that Mr..
Roosevelt really means what he says.
Two Pacts in Mind.
The Interpretation is that he did not
have In mind so much the Kellogg
BRAND pact, which he naturally be-
lieves a useful instrument in time of
peace, but he mainly thought about the
other two pacts which America signed
in 1922-the nine-power pact, whereby
the signatory nations had agreed to
maintain the territorial integrity Of
China, and the four-power pact
whereby the United States, confident
that the nine-power treaty would be
respected, agreed not to fort1fy its pos
sessions in the Far East.
Since his election as President OF
this country Mr.. Roosevelt has been
keeping himself well posted on the
situation all over the world, especially
where America had vital interests. He
knows not only the obvious fact that
the nine-power treaty is at present only
a scrap Of paper, but also that America
And while its fortifcations in the
Pacific were left as they were II years
ago, other nations, especially Japan,
has proceeded to fortify as fast as they
could their territorial possessions in the
Pacific, and this in defiance of the pro-
visions Of the mandates and Of the pact
they had signed with the United States,
China and Great Britain.
Mild Warning to Germany.
In certain European diplomatic
quarters President Roosevelt's sentence
is interpreted as a mild warning to
Germany, and is welcomed at the pres
ent moment when the situation in that
country seems to be getting out Of hand.
Hitler, it is assumed here, will come
out victorious at tomorrow's polls. Hit
ler's main trump card with the Ger
man nation is the abolition of the YER
sailles treaty. especially the clause
which gave Poland the Dantzig Corri-
dor. The Presidents reference to the
respect Of the sanctity Of the treaties.

have a cooling effect on Germany's
chancellor.
Those who expected the President to
embark Immediately upon his COM
ing into Office, on long series Of ne
gotiations with the debtor nations for
the reduction or cancellation Of the
war debts have been sadly disappointed.
The Presidents slogan is America
first" And since Americas problems
are today of paramount importance, the
problems of other nations can wait.
Trade Relations Secondary.
His statement that, Our international
trade relations, though vastly import
ant, are in point of time and necessity
secondary to the establishment Of a
sound national economy. favor as a
practical policy the putting of first
things first. shall spare no effort to
restore world trade by international
economic readjustnent, but the emer-
gency at home cannot wait on that &C
cornplishment," has caused certain
commotion among European diplomats
who have conveyed it to their respec-
tive governments as the Presidents S
final decision.
This sentence Is also interpreted as
meaning that Mr.. Roosevelt has not II
the least abandoned his position that
any concessions to Europe in respect to
its Indebtedness to this country must be
based on an economic counterpart.

said he would not hold daily confer
