And the individual we most admire is
the one who. while not yielding his
rights or allowing himself to be
imposed upon or standing in Judgment
on his neighbor, yet goes out of his
way to understand the other mans
problems, to give him a helping hand,
and to try to prevent quarrels from
breaking out that might split the
neighborhood. When translated into
international affairs, the picture is
not too far different. and the guiding
principle of good neighborliness is the
most effective contribution a man or
nation can make to the well-being
Of the community
Do these sound like the words of
men who are planning an aggressive
attack. who are preparing in a devious
manner known only to few to launch
this country into collective action
against another country? Certainly
there is not the remotest hint here
Of involving this country in aggres-
sive warfare. of secret agreements with
an European power to the exclusion
OF the long-standing principles of the
Monroe Doctrine, of the casting aside

try to cooperate with all without en-
tangling alliances in an honest-and-
abovcboard effort to put into opera
ton effective machinery for peace in
the community of nations.
These points from the declarations
OF the President and the Secretary
of State are the underlying principles
OF American foreign policy. The
United States. it has and is now being
made crystal clear. is resolved not to
enter into "entangling alliances or
entangling commitments"
Historic Policy Favored.
Recently, resolution was intro
duced in the House which contained
this question. Does the President of
the United States intend to pursue
the historic policy of the United States
as laid down by Washington, or does
he expect to depart from it as was
done in 1912" Secretary Hull said,
This Government is continuing to
pursue the historic policy of the
United States"
In George Washington's fifth an
nual address delivered at Philadelphia,
December 3. 1893, he said:
There is rank due to the United
States among nations, which will be
withheld if not absolutely lost by the
reputation of weakness. If we desire
to avoid insult we must be able to
repel it; If We desire to secure peace,
one OF the most powerful instruments
OF our rising prosperity. it must be
known that we are at all times ready
for war"
Suffice it to stress that this coun-
try Is wisely preparing for any con-
tingency, as 1t does through the bill
which passed the House today, does
not indicate that an increase OF Amer
lean armaments means that we are
about to strike out at any nation, but
rather that when the nations of the

ARNOLD ASSUMES

Thurman w. Arnold, new Assistant

the situation.
"All I can say at this time" Mr..
Arnold said, is that I intend to pur-
sue a policy of enforcement of the

book that efforts to enforce the anti
trust laws had been largely futile, and
asked whether he had any new tech
nique in mind, Mr. Arnold insisted he
should be given time to get settled
at his desk and look around before
answering such questions. He empha-
sized. however, that he had no doubt
the laws could be applied fairly.
Mr.. Arnold, native of Laramie,

15-Year Tariff Tie
After Independence
Urged for Philippines
U. S.-FiIipino Committee
Report Recommends
GroduoI Adjusting

By the Associated Press.
A Filipino American committee
has agreed that the Philippine
Islands should not be cut adrift
economically when they receive their
political freedom on July 4, 1916.
The committee, composed of off.
cials of the two countries, recon-
mended yesterday that the islands
be given Is years in which to adjust
by easy stages their trade relation
ships with the United States.
No change was recommended in
the independence date, the commit
tee reporting that earlier political
freedom would materially increase
the difficulties of the Philippine ad-
justment problem"
President Roosevelt approved the
report as the basis for congressional
consideration to correct "imperfec-
tions and inequalities" of the 1884
Philippine Independence Act.
President Manuel L. Quezon of the
Philippine Commonwealth, who some
time ago suggested that the date of
independence might be advanced to
1888 or 1899, indorsed the report.
THE stability of the future Phil
ippine republic and of it's national
economy will not be possible unless
the recommendations are given ef-
feet" he said
The committee proposed that the
two countries grant each other tar
i'll concessions which would grow
progressively smaller until January
/, 1861, when all duty preferences
would be eliminated.
Under the proposal the two coun-
tries would assess but 25 per cent
Of prevailing duties on each others
products in 1916. Thereafter duties
would be increased per cent each
year. Some exceptions would be
provided.
Assistant Secretary OF State Fran
els B. Sayre was chairman of the
joint committee from its creation on
April IA, 1887, until July 13, 1887,
when J. v. A. McMurray, American
Ambassador to Turkey, was ap-
pointed chairman. The report was
submitted here May 20, 1888, but
was not made public until last
night
During its life the committee con-
Quoted hearings in Washington, San
Francisco and Manila, and briefs
were received from interested par

Rome Hopes Phillips
Can Clarity Issues

\ ROME, Nov. 29 R.-1taly'S most
authoritative editor, Virginio Gayda,
expressed hope today that the
United States Ambassadors to Ger
many and Italy, who have been con-
ferring with President Roosevelt,
would help to correct what he
termed Americas misunderstanding
of European racial problems.
That would be a gain for the
cause of European and world har-
mony which in recent years has
been clouded several times by the
imprudent and undue initiatives of
President Roosevelt and his chat
tering men," Gayda wrote in II
Giornale DItalia.
He said the italian nation cor
daily welcomed the coming visit
Of Prime Minister Chamberlain in
January as a sign of collaboration
between Italy and Britain to solve
international problems.
Then turning to the racial question
Gayda said it was evidently not
clear in the United States, where
little is known and less understood
of Europe and where such a large
part of public opinion is formed
and directed by interested groups
which by their nature deny the
racial problem and present 1t in
twisted terms opposite to those felt
by the European conscience"
U, S, EMPLOYMENT Cited.
Conditions in the United States
are different from those in Eur
ope, Gayda said, since American
unemployment is higher than
ever reached in Europe" despite
a rich territory with a lower dem
sity of population.
This fact, along with the re-
fusal to accept large masses of
Jewish refugees Notwithstanding
the notable availability of terri
tory and official defenses of Jewish
rights, might at least signify that
the way of living in the United
States is profoundly different from
that in Europe.
1T is therefore correct to as
sumo that so is the way of under
standing and that it why the eval-
uation given In the United States
to the European racial problem
needs to be corrected.
"One may hope that contribu-
ton to rectif1cation-that is to
say, Qualification of the truth
has been made by those authorita-
tive American observers who have
been able to follow and evaluate on
the spot the pending problems in
Europe"

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29-Hopes for
settling a strike that has halted
trade at the Chicago Stock Yards
were carried to peace parley to-
day.
Representatives of striking C. I.
o. handlers and spokesmen for the
Union Stock Yards Co. conferred
with Federal conciliators in an ef-
fort to break the nine-day dead
lock.
Robert Mythen. Federal concilia-
ton commissioner. reported some
progress" had attended negotia-
tions yesterday-the first optimis-
tic note in the dispute.
Meanwhile, sales on the big open
market were suspended pending ter
mination of the controversy. Some
10000 cattle, hogs and sheep were
received but most Of them had been
sent directly to the packing houses,
thus circumventing the strike bound
channels.
The demands of the striking c.
I. O. livestock handlers included a
written contract, closed shop, a
checkoff, vacations with pay, a basic
wage and overtime pay.
Mr.. Mythen, designated as spokes-
man for the conferees, declined to
comment on the assertion of a c.
1. O. official that the strike would
end if the stockyards management
agreed to a written contract and
bargained in good faith.
Strike leaders reported c. I. o.
members employed at the Armour
g. Co. plant made brief strike
gestures yesterday after A. F. l..
representatives, whom they identi-
fled as organizers, appeared in the
packing house.
The c. I. o. employees laid aside
their tools for short periods in 26
departments until the rival unionists
left the premises. The union claims
a membership OF $500 to 5000 en-
ployes at the Armour plant.
Charles r. Rice. president of the
Chicago Livestock Exchange, said
that organization was losing $4,000
a week because of the strike. He
asserted I'VE are going to insist
that a quick solution be reached"
The exchange is made up of COM
mission men who buy and sell live
stock in the yards.
A heavy increase in livestock re-
ceipts yesterday at several Middle
Western cities. was attributed to sus-
pension of trading here.
About $4,000 head, believed q
record-breaking number, were un-
loaded at Peoria, Ill. Increases also
