By RODNEY DUTCHER , (NEA Service Writer) ‘Washington, June 27.—Mr. Herbert Hoover is entitled to sit back and con- template the present state of Ameri- can foreign relations with consider. able satisfaction. On the whole, t international situation seems to be a more pleasant sight than at any time since war clouds first began to ap- pear over Europe. One refers to the result of the Brit- ish elections and the forthcoming conference between Hoover and Pre- mier Ramsay MacDonald and the lat- est settlement of the reparations Problem with its bearing on our for- eign debts. Both these situations have shaped up in a manner unques- tionably pleasing to Hoover. MacDonald and Hoover between them are pretty certain to end def- initely the naval armament race in which the United States and Britain have been engaged since the war. Whether or not they will be ‘ble to; a Teduice the size of the two navies, both would like to, and there has been little but praise in this country for Hoover’s public reduction proposals. The atmosphere of Anglo-Amcrican relations has been more or less cloud- ed these last five years, but it now appears that the two new govern- ments are going to get together on @ peaceful working agreement. And that will be about as strong a guar- antee of world peace as anyone could dévise. Europe Is Better Off ‘The value of the latest reparations agreement as a_ stabilizing factor seems already to be apparent in Eu- Tope.
