Navy Gets No Help.

A FTER you cross the raceway you
have to negotiate foot ball field,
which Is q piece Of gaudy cardboard
with a set of rules designed by Navy's
Coach Hamilton. You fail TO recall
whether this Is the game where dice
are thrown or a needle is spun, but you
inspected the regulations and recall
distinctly that there was nothing to
cover interference with a pass receiver.
Thus during the Yuletide holidays
Navy will have to whip Army without
Sullivan riding" Fike on the 3-yard
line, as was the case in Philadelphia.
The redheaded gal at the
Erecto counter said to turn left

followed directions it involved a
slight detour around another

Foot ball fans did not hear much of
Howard Jones during the Fall, but the

CITY Park Available.

Jersey CITY held a franchise in
the International until 1888, when
the club was transferred to Syracuse,
largely because the old Jersey City
park was inadequate. Now Stoneham
has obtained. through friendship be-
tween my father and Mayor Hague of
Jersey City" an option to use the new
Municipal Stadium. This is expected
to be ready for use April Is.
A few weeks ago Cambria was said
to be ready to take $25 900 for the AL
bany franchise. but since Larry Mac
Phail, former general manager of the
Reds. has been bidding against the
Giants the asking price has jumped
to S60,000. Stoneham said. however,
he expected to close the deal Tuesday.

own territory. Sneed Schmidt. later a
hero of the Army game. but the goat"
OF this one, received the kick on his
own Is as Kelley, among other Ellis,
bore down on him. Schmidt fumbled
and dropped the ball. Kelley's foot
connected instantly and drove it
sharply toward the Navy goal. Kelley
then won the race for the loose pg-
skin and fell on it on Nays g. Clint
Frank bucked across for the touch
down that enabled Yale to win, 13 to Z.
Foot ball rules specify it is foul
II loose ball is kicked Intentionally.
Such is Kelley's reputation as an op-
portunist that the Eli ace was credited
by some critics with pulling smart
one" He denied, however. that it was
anything but an accidental kick and

Following the examples of the St.

Negotiations are well under way for
the purchase of the Albany Interna-

to Jersey City, a red hot base ball

Cambria. Albany owner, have not yet
agreed on the purchase price, but

Good-Neighbor Policy Growth
Marked by Presidents Speech
Progress Made by administration in
Furthering American Relations
Unprecedented.

rightly stated. are not only living to-
gether in friendship and in peace,
but they are united in the determi-
nation so to remain"
Sincerity Is Revealed.
As to the sincerity of the good
neighbor" policy. all the reinsurance
needed will be found in two para
graphs of the Presidents eloquent
speech at Chautauqua. In one of them
the President stressed the fact that
his "good-neighbor" declaration, made
for the first time in the course of his
inaugural address on March 4, 1888,
represents today more than a pur-
pose, "for it stands for a practice. To
a measurable degree it has succeeded;
the whole world now knows that the
United States cherishes no predatory
ambitions. We are strong; but less
powerful nations know that they need
not fear our strength. We seek no
conquest: We stand for peace"
What better guarantee of the trust
worthiness of the "good-neighbor"
pledge than the demonstration that,
in the majority of cases, it has been
applied and actually carried out? To
this writer such demonstration Is
particularly gratifying, for three and
half years ago, in those now historic
days of March, 1888, it interpreted the
announcement of the "good-neighbor"
policy as the beginning of a new
deal" in American relations and
it outlined some of the changes which
are now taking place.
The other paragraph in the Presi-
dents speech bearing proof of the
sincerity of his advocacy of the good
neighbor" policy was this: The
American republics to the south Of
us have been ready always to CO.
operate with the United States on
basis of equality and mutual respect,
but before we inaugurated the good
neighbor policy there was among them
resentment and fear because certain
administrations in Washington had
sighted their national pride and their
sovereign rights"
Errors Newly Acknowledged.
Other Chief Executives of the
United States may have made bids
for Latin American good will by pay
ing lip service to the principle Of
equality of states and the advantages
of international cooperation, but
never before had one of them had
the courage to acknowledge publicly
the errors of previous administrations
in the field of foreign affairs, and
to admit that there was some ground
for Latin American resentment and
suspicion of the policies now dis
carded. President Roosevelt did just
that, at Chautauqua, and he did
| more than that, for he added a note
of personal fairness and candor when
he explained: In pursuance of the
good-neighbor policy, and because in
my younger days had learned many
lessons in the hard school of expert
Evening star., 1936-08-23

ence, I stated that the United States
was opposed definitely to armed in
tervention." The President probably
had in mind the days when. as As
sistant Secretary of the Navy, he had
something to do with the armed in
terventicns of the Wilson administra-
ton in Haiti and the Dominican Re-
public.
The sincerity Of purpose Of an at
titude based on the recognition Of
previous mistakes, and the gradual
correction of them, can safely be put
beyond question. When the Presi-
dent of the United States agrees with
the Latin Americans on the injustice
and unsoundness of the former poli-
cies. there is no longer room for the
doubts or fears of the most skeptical
as to the sincerity of the new ones.
President Roosevelt and his experi-
enced advisers on Latin American af-
fairs may justly point with pride,
in these troublesome days, to the rec
ord of the "good-neighbor" policy,
already the least disputed achieve
ment of this Administration, and, in
the long range of history, perhaps the
most significant.

GASPE BOASTS FREEDOM
FROM HAY fever EVIL

GASPE. Quebec, August 22.-As the
August calendar marks the arrival of
the dreaded hay fever season, this
picturesque peninsula is preparing to
entertain thousands of United States
visitors who annually find here relief
from the malady.
Surveyed by w. Ormiston Roy,
Montreal naturalist, and the late DR..
Ernest Roy Wilson of Harvard Uni
versity, Gaspe Peninsula was found
almost wholly free of ragweed, which
scientists have designated a prime
cause of hay or pollen fever.
Gaspe. the scientists declared, has
escaped the plague of ragweed, which
infests every other part of North
America, because of its isolation, the
country only recently having been
opened to visitors.

BY GAsTON NERVAL.

1.-TWO days after the date had
been officially set for the open
ing of the Pan-American
Il Peace Conference at Buenos
Aires. President Roosevelt devoted the
first half of his latest pronouncement
on foreign affairs to praising the i'm
provement in inter- American rela-
tions, which has been characteristic OF
his administration. The fact is indie
ative of the importance which he at
taches to pan-American understand
ing and friendship.
At his remarkable address at Chau-
tauqua, President Roosevelt pointed
out the major gains made by the
good d-neighbor" policy in the West
ern Hemisphere, and, with justified
pride, set them as an example to the
rest of the world in this hour OF inter-
national jealousies and feverish prepa-
rations for war.
Achievements Listed.
The President mentioned the Monte
Video Convention on the Rights and
Duties of States, embodying the prin-
ciple of non-intervention in the in
ternal affairs of other countries and
thus eliminating the greatest source
of conflict among the American gov
ernments; the abolition of the Platt
amendment, which inaugurated new
era in the relations of this country
and Cuba the withdrawal of United
States Marines from Haiti, thus end
ing the last of the military interven-
Iions in the Caribbean zone; the sign
ing of the recent treaty with Panama
correcting most of the injustices and
differences originally created by the
construction and operation of the
Panama Canal; and last, but not
least, the series of reciprocal trade
agreements completed with mutual
commercial benefits, under the states
manship of Secretary Hull, with a
number of American nations.
He could have listed several other
achievements of his Latin American
policy: The abandonment of dollar
diplomacy" the refusal to land Ma
rines in Cuba during the 1888 crisis,
. the aid given in the conclusion of the
Chaco and Leticia armed struggles
and the faithful carrying out of the
doctrine of non-recognition of terri
torial gains by force, the refusal to
intervene in the religio-educational
controversy in Mexico, the wholly new
psychological atmosphere created by
Secretary Hull's democratic and
friendly attitude at the MOnteVideO
conference, etc.
The truth is that, no matter how
much more remains to be done, and
how skeptical some people may be
as to the permanency of the new
policies, never before has SO much
progress been made in so short time
in the furtherance of inter- American
relations. AS a result, today the 81
