TOXIC, October 15.-Japan agreed
formally to retention of the "subma-

naval treaty.
Shigeru Yoshida, Japanese AmbaS-
sador to London, was instructed to
sign a new agreement retaining the
submarine clause, which is part Of
the original pact.
ARRANGEMENTS for the new accord
were completed late in 1885 when the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan decided to continue the section
Indefinitely. The three powers agreed
to embody the clause, which limits the
activities of submarines, in a separate
protocol.
At least two other nations-France
and Italy-have consented recently to
participate in the new accord.
Great Britain, it was understood

REMAIN WITH EVEN MINDS"

Aaskans and residents of the Pacific Coast are encouraged today that settlement without lockout strike may come about in the maritime dispute. As the situation stands 15-day truce has been de- clared during which time the unions have another opportunity to vote among themselves whether they will submit the issues to arbitration. In the event they adopt such move an additional 45 days may be granted to carry arbitration.
 It is comparatively happy situation and reveals the importance of the Maritime Act for it is signi fcant fact that it government intervention which brought about the truce, of the under standing coming from Assistant Secretary of Labor McCirady who is in San Francisco in connection with the waterfront dispute
 MT. McGrady sounded the keynote of the entire controversy when he said yesterday few hours before the agreement for truce was accepted T hope both sides will remain with minds
 If such course is pursued there will be ques- tion of the outcome. Amiable settlement will be reached There is indeed, much of encouragement in the progress already made.

FRIENDS, NOT ALLIES

Secretary of State Cordell Hull, speaking recent before the Good Neighbor League in New York ou lined foreign policy which if carried out success fully should keep this country in excellent positio He voiced the policy of the good neghbor friends b not allies; willing to add it's influence to the wor toward peace but not ready to interfere foreign affairs.
 In his remarks the Secretary said:
 We have tried to bring together American opinion and opinion in other countries in a common determination against the use of force for the settlement of disputes or for other na- tional purposes In that connection we have sought to maintain the vitality of the inter- national agreement to renounce war which was signed by virtually all countries of the world when MT Kellogg was Secretary of State. But strong nations have chosen to proceed in dis regard of that agreement and this basis for international trust has thus been greatly i'm paired.
 At times there has been criticism because we would not depart from our traditional policy and join with other governments in collective arrangements carrying the obliga- tion of employing force, if necessary in case disputes between other countries brought them into war That responsibility, carrying direct participation in the political relations of the whole of the world outside we cannot accept eager as we are to support means for the prevention of war. For current experience in-
