NE|GHBOR POLICY
TO Be PUSHED ON
PRESIDENT TRIP
Roosevelt Believed to Plan
Hawaii Forum for Ex-
preston OF Views.
HONOLULU ADDRESS
By RADIO JULY 70
Trunkful of Books on Distant
Pacific Islands Made Available
for Chief Executive.

Copyright 1884. by the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt is believed to
be contemplating using Hawaii as a
forum to enunciate doctrine of peace
and neighborliness in the Pacific
The President, now headed for the
distant outpost of the United States,
will deliver a radio address in Homo
lulu, July %. Washington heard he
might take the opportunity at the
crossroads of the Pacific" for a
friendly and general expression of
views on world problems and of his
eagerness to extend the good neigh
Dor" policy throughout the vast Pa
cific region.
This policy was first applied spe-
officially to Latin America. Admins
tration men say it has reaped re-
wards in improved relations.
Any expression of the American
viewpoint in the Pacific would re-
ceive keen attention now in troubled
world capitals New and significant
issues have arisen in recent years in
the teeming Orient.
Access to Hawaii Books.
The Chief Executive has had init
mate knowledge of many of these
problems, but to assist in preparing
his speech he had access to a trunkful
of books on Hawaii, the Pacific and
the Orient furnished from the State
Departments library.
Some of the newer Pacific develop
ments that have engaged world at
tention include increase talk of war,
Japanese territorial and trade expan-
sion, the open door policy in China,
American recognition of Soviet Rus
STA and world non-recognition of Man
chukuo; naval limitation and general
disarmament: exclusion of japanese
from the United States, and the fu-
ture of the PHILIPPINES.
1t was considered improbable that
the Chief Executive would deal speci-
fically with these problems, but rather
might outline long range view that
there is no problem that can not be
tackled on friendly basis.
Some of the Pacific problems have
bearing on the question of naval
limitation.
Naval Farley Pessimism.
At present there is much pessimism
| among observers over the probable
fate OF the 1885 naval conference.
Some say this might be dispelled il
the Pacific powers could be drawn to-
gether in a goodwill meeting to allay
suspicious and misunderstanding
There is no indication, however, as to
whether any thing along this line
is in President Roosevelt's mind.
The possibility that the United
States and Japan might meet in such
a conference has already been men,
toned. but no action has resulted.
1t is thought the United States
would prefer a multi-lateral confer
ence, which all concerned nations
could attend for a thorough perusal
of all problems.
Such conference, If successful
might coneeivably go a long way to-
ward guaranteeing the peace Of the
Pacific.

Murders RumOred.

Rumors of further wholesale muir

only to be met by cool denials from

Scandal mongering" was the term
applied 10 the rumors, both here and
abroad, by officials who had not left
the capital TO escape the heat.
Among reports was one of foreign
origin that 1000 persons were killed
in and after the revolt of June 80 and
that prisoners at the Dachau concen-
tration camp were murdered. No veri-
flcation could be found.
Changes Are Foreseen.
Although the reports met prompt
denials. the belief prevailed in many
quarters that the government had not
dealt frankly enough with the public
on the revolt and that internal
changes of policy are underway.
That the spreading of rumors Is a
real problem was indicated by an

from Washington on the California

"And my laughing remark to MI.
Hopkins that half million OF unem-

was misquoted. What I was reaiiy
irving to do was to get relief funds 1or
the unemployed in California"
Culbert L. Olson, chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Commlttee'
who was in Washington, said ne
doubted whether the action begun

At the same time G. j. Collins,

ouiry into registrations, saying:
There are 100000 more regis
