C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1929. “HOOVER DOCTRINE” Diplomatic Passage With| | Soviet Commits U. S. to Mobilize World Opinion. Amid the hurly-burly of the opening of Congress, the President's message | | and the national business survey confer- ence, Washington and the Nation at large have not yet measured at its full | significance the true inwardness of the | late Russo-American diplomatic fisti- cuffs over China. What emerges from them is nothing more or less than the proclamation of “the Hoover doctrine’—the doctrine | whereby the United States now commits itself to “mobilize the public opinion of the world whenever and wherever world peace is threatened.” Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, speaking with the full authority of the Hoover administration, has nailed to the mast colors which—it can be stated with complete confidence—will fly there, and fiy vigorously and promptly, as long as the present occupant of the White House is President. Explanation eof Doctrine. ‘The Hoover doctrine in conception is as definite and integral a factor in American foreign policy as the doctrine launched and immortalized by President James Monroe in another December 106 years ago. One thing, and cne thin States from maintenance of the Hoover dectrine. That is the unlikely contin- gency that, for some reason, this Gov- ermnment might some day withdraw from “the league of peace” established by the Kellogg-Briand pact. Secretary Stimson’s recent rejoinder to Soviet Russia's truckling manifesto about American intervention in the Manchurian crisis brings the new peace | doctrine vividly to light. The first inkling of it was given at the close of Prime Minister ‘'Macdonald’s visit to Washington in October. On_October 10, the prime minister and President Hoover issued a carefully prepared “jcint statement” on the accomplishments of thelr meeting. One passage bore the unmistakable imprint of Mr. Hoover's own hand. It read: “The part of each of our governments in the promotion of world peace will be different, as one will never consent to become entangled in European diplomacy, and the other is resolved to pursue a policy of active co-operation with its neigh- bore. But each of our governments will direct its thoughts and influence to- ward securing and maintaining the peace of the world. Outlines Part U. §. to Play. It is ible for this writer to out- line and define precisely the “part” the United States—under the Hoover ad- ministration at least—intends to play “in the promotion of world peace.” In the first place, it will be as far as pos- sible from the “part” which Great Britain, under the “force sanctions” of the League of Nations “is resolved to pursue in active co-operation with its European neighbors.” President Hoover told Prinme Minister Macdonald, in effect if not in these precise words, that the only sanctions in which he believes are the sanctions of public opinion. OF PEACE IS BARED = 1 sanctie are all potent in their power | to restrain nations from going to war. He is confident that public opinion is (as Secretary Stimson has just re- minded Russia) “a live factor which be promptly mobilized.” The President holds further that this assess- ment of the value of public o{llnnlon is elready so generally recognized through- out the world that (as is also pointed out in the State Department com- munique on the Chinese situation) “it has become a factor of prime impor- tance in the solution of the problems and controversies which may arise be- tween nations.” Rests Four-Square on Pact. ‘The Hoover doctrine rests four-square on the Kellogg-Briand pact. It unre-, servedly looks upon the 54-power treaty to renounce war as an instrument of national policy for exactly what the pact says. It banishes the thought, held by certain scoffers at home and abroad, that the treaty is a scrap of paper. The Hoover doctrine, as Secre- tary Stimson promulgated it on Decem- ber 4, regards the pact “as a covenant| which has_profoundly modified the at- titude of the world toward peace.” The American Government ventured to go the limit with its co-signatories of the Kellogg-Briand pact to avert war in China, because Washington “intends to shape its own policy” in strict accord- ance with the anti-war pact. That policy includes the right, as the United States sees it, to “call to the attention of another pact signatory its obligations or the dangers to peace which from time to time arise.” From the administration’s stand- point, “mobilized world opinion” has won no fewer than three victories for peace during the present year. The first was the prevention of war between Bolivia and Paraguay last Winter. The second was the avoidance of hostilities between Russia and China at the inception of their railway controversy last Summer, coupled, as it was, with a joint pledge frem them not to violate the Kellogg- Briand pact. The third peace victory for world opinion is the present cessa- tion of what the Chinsse government brands “undeclared but actual war” in Manchuria by Russian Soviet border troops. : It is Herbert Hoover's firm conviction D Ne lccgnctlm Take the recofin‘l;.ed standard remedy—Grove' tive BROMO QUININE. Taken by more people than any other remedy for colds—It is reliable and safe. Grove’s uu Laxative * BROMO QUININE Tablets Hoover, moreover, considers that such that world opinion can be just as speedily and irresistibly “‘mobilized” again if and when the emergency arises as it was on the trio of occasions above mentioned. The President places more faith in such a mobllization than he does in article XVI of the League of Nations covenant, which provides for sanction ft hufe to wl;eauun the bellig- rent passions of nations. NopAmenun now in public life bas had so convincing a demonstration the power of public opinion as Herbert Hoover. He is in the presidency today, not so much because the Republican party, as represented by its organiza- tion leaders, wanted him to be there, as because popular sentiment in Hoover's favor virtually forced his nomination by the G. O. P. The Cali- forniap, having acquired a profound respect for the potency of public opin- jon at home, has translated into the Hoover doctrine for peace his faith that public opinion is no less of & power when applied to the affairs of the world.

By this means they coerate traffic warning lights—amber for “caution,” red for “stop,” and green for “go.” By pressing a button in & control box the warning signal followed by the stop is given. The pedestrian has 15 seconds in which to cross street, after which the light automati- cally changes, allowing the traffic to proceed.
