POWERS OFFER COMMON FRONT But America Insists| on Independent Status. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. A common front of all Western nations to face together the in- ereasing menacing situation in the Far East is expected to be the re- sult of America’s reply last night to the League of Nations, approv- {ng unequivocally the stand that body has taken in the Sino- Japanese conflict. The American reply to the note of the League was sent aftre Secre- tary Stimson had discussed it in 8 two-and-a-half-hour conference with the Secretary-designate, Senator Cordell Hull, and stated | that “the purpose of the United Btates has coincided in general with that of the League of Nations, ‘the common objective being main- tenance of peace and settlement of international disputes by pa- cific means.” Secretary Stimson further stated: “In ursuance of that objective, while the ague of Nations has been exercising Jjurisdiction over a controversy between two of its members, the Government of the United States has endeavored to| give support, reserving to itself inde- pendence of judgment with regard to method and scope, to the efforts of the League on behzlf of peace.” The American reply was moderate in tone and made the inevitable restric- tions compatible with the American status as a non-member of the League. After having declared that “findings of fact arrived at .:‘y the League and the understanding the fact derived by the American Government f{rom re- ports made to it by its representatives are in substantial accord.” Secretary | Stimson, commenting on e's recommendations for a settlement of the dispute, replied: “In so far as ap- propriate under the treaties to which it is a party, the United States expresses its general indorsement of the principles recommended.” “The Hoover Doctrine.” ‘The principles referred to by Mr. Stimson were the non-recognition of the newly created Manchukuo state and the withdrawal of the Japanese Army from the Chinese territory. They | were formulated in Washington last | year and are known as the Hoover doc- | trine. In his note to the League the Secretary of State said: “In their af- firmation, respectively, of the principle of non-recognition and their attitude in regard thereto, the League and the United States are on common ground. ‘While the same measures to bring back Japan to a sense of reality may be taken by the League together with the United States, there is a distinc- tion which the Secretary of State had in mind when he drafted his note of reply to the League. This distinction is that while the League may adopt coercive measures against Japan on the basis of the Covenant by applying the sanction mentioned in article 16 which provides for an economic and financial boycott, America cannot apply the same sanctions without the special approval of the Congress and must be guided in its actions exclusively on the prin- ciples of the two treaties to which she is a party, the Kellogg pact and the nine-power treaty. ‘This_distinction is considered in the State Department as essential because it is not desired here that the common action of the League and the United States in this particular case should be interpreted in the future as a prec- adent to involve this country in other actions in which America is not di- rectly interested. The Secretary of State was particu- larly careful to show that the United States had acted independently throughout these months of investiga- tion and fact finding. Cautious But Firm. Stimson's reply was cauiious but firm. ‘While giving full encouragement to the League to proceed to whatever coercive measures it may find necessary to en- force peace in the Far East, it avoids two things: It does not lay the United States open to any criticism from Japan that it is meddling in the affairs of the League without being a member of that organization and it does not create a precedent which could compel this country to intervene under different circumstances in affairs which do not concern the United States. The note also represents fully Amer- dca’s national policies. Senator Hull, who studied it carefully, gave it his un- qualified approval. There is not the slightest doubt in the minds of the officials of the State Department that | Rad (Continued on Page 2, Column 6.)

GENEVA, February 25.—Yosuke Mat- suoka, head of the Japanese delegation, turned his back on Geneva today as the directors of League of Nations policy began talking about a concerted arms embargo egain<t Japan. Discussion of this delicate subject by the Committee of 21. which was charged with continuing efforts to settle the Sino-Japanese conflict, reached an in- troductory stage only, as the members wished to awsit responces from the United States and Soviet Russia to in- | vitations to participate in the work of settlement.

Authorities pointed out that Japan is the party which was unanimously con- demned by the League Assembly in the report adopted yesterday, and for that reason they expressed the belief that it was unlikely that the two nations would be treated equally. 8cme Lezgue sources were optimistic about cbtaining participation by the United States in embargo action.

Practically everything has been ar- ranged but the weather, and the out- look for that is not so good, with the weather man predicting (as well as he can this far ahead) snow for Friday and Saturday in the Middle Atlantic States.

Elaborate Protestion Steps. Elaborate plans have been made for the protection of the new President while the throngs of visitors are in the city, with the Secret Service augmented by a troop of Cavalry for the trip of Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt to the Capitol and the return of Mr. Roose. velt to the White House. In addition there will be 400 Marines from Quantico ‘' augmenting the ordinary Capitol police force, aided by special details of New \Yurk City police, Washington lice | and plain’ clothes men from the forces of the principal cities of the East and Midwest as well as from the local force. The watchfulness of all these groups has been sharpened by the recent at- tempt at Miami to assassinate Mr. | Roosevelt. Mr. Roosevelt has announced that his speech before the group of invited in the stands at the East front of the Capitol will be short, probably requiring not more than 8 minutes.
