< Copyright, 1850, by Bell Syndicate Inc.)
 VASHINGTON-Herbert Hoov- CTS statement that the American Navy should be used to protect far distant Formosa must have brought a wry smile from his old Secre- tary of State Henry L. Stimson. For when Stimson served in the Hoover Cabinet, he waged valiant but losing fight inside that Cabin ct to take firm measures against Japanese aggression when the Jap war lords first landed in Manchur- ia.
 Stimson wanted to cooperate with the League of Nations and with other countries in nipping what he quite clearly saw was the be- ginning of future war.
 But Hoover fused, fumed, vac- 7 iilated and finally said no. At one time Stimson wanted to send the American fleet not even as far as Formosa, or to Chinese waters, but simply on a cruise in the mid-Pac- fife as gesture of American strength. Again Hoover said no
 Hoover would not even permit his Secretary of State to keep Am erican Consul Prentiss Gill bert as an observer to the League of Nations in Geneva. Stimson had instructed Gilbert to sit in on the League conferences dealing with Manchurian aggression, but Hoover, worried over isolationists in the Republican National Committee, finally yanked Gilbert out.
 Today, however, the ex-President who contributed more than any one man to undoing Stimson's far sighted war-prevention policy, now says the American fleet should be used in Chinese waters when it is too late.

Two US. destroyers prepared to- night CTuesday) to escort the crippled American freighter Flying Arrow to any port but her destina- t-on-Shanghai.
 The ship was battered yesterday on the high seas by shells from a Nationalist guntoat Wayne Rich ardson, Associated Press Correspon- dent aboard the Flying Arrow, said she was hit between 30 and 40 times
 Her master, Capt. David Jones of Chicago, pronounced her un- seaWorthy and asked to be escorted by US naval vessels to the nearest port for repairs. That's Communist Shanghai.
 Captains of the two destroyers, the Stickell and the Bausell, said they would not escort the Flying Arrow there. Other Communist held ports are nearer the ships position than any port claiming friendship to Western powers. A Chinese Nationalist gunboat lurked in the distance from the Flying Arrow as dusk settled over the Orient.
 MINE WARNING" At Tapei, Formosa, Chinese Ma tionalist capital, spokesman said the freighter was fired upon to keep her from a mine field that would have meant her certain de- struction with a possible large loss of life. The ship carries a crew ot 43 plus 12 passengers, seven of them women, bound for Shanghai. The merchantmen is unarmed.
 The Nationalists have slapped a blockade on all Chinese ports held by the Communists. Sea and air patrols have been maintained off Shanghai.
 In Hong Kong sister ship of the Flying Arrow, the Brooklyn Heights, was loading cargo for Shanghai. She is tentatively sched- uled to sail tomorrow Wednesday, with a crew of 42 and one passen- ger One member of her crew has signed off rather than risk the danger of a Shanghai voyage.
 The Hong Kong agent for the operators of both ships, the Is- hrandtsen Line of New York, said he hoped the presence of the two destroyers near the Flying Arrow would clear up the status of the Chinese blockade as far as Ameri- can shipping is concerned.
 The American State Department does not recognize the blockade. But it has warned American ships to stay out of Shanghai waters. And it advised sailors of the Flying Arrow and Brooklyn Heights they could sign off in Hong Kong.
 In Bangkok, Thailand (Siam 1, Vice Adm. Russell s. Berkey, Com mander of the US. Seventh Task Force, said naval protection would be afforded American merchantmen on the high seas but not in Chi nese territorial waters.
