A half hour later the drone of a plane could be heard at Rooscvelt Field, then the pin points of lights on the wings were made out and a moment later the plane was circling the field. Twice around they went, then slid into the field to a perfect three point landing.

There were two problems, he said—the problem of the relations between the navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan, and the problem of the relations between the navies of Great Britain, France and Italy. “These are quite distinct prob- lems,” Secretary Stimson said. “The first of these has been solved. In the second, members of the American delegation have been privileged to sit as friendly observers, watching the development and clarification of these underlying questions. Sitting evident that the result of the con- ference has been to clarify issues and make their solution in the fu- ture more possible.” Throughout the morning and aft- ernoon the annual meeting of the Assoclated Press was in progress. There was to be an election of five new directors, the number whos terms expired this year. Ten candi- dates were submitted by the nomi- nating committec. Nominees for Directors The five, whose terms in office e pire this year, and who were nom nated for reelection, are: W. H. Cowles, Spokane Spokesman-Re- view; Frank P.

But such a proposal cannot he made and then left alone to hatch. New cras do not | portance. come out of old conditions merely by | a new edict or a good resolution. In | order to reach a condition when no | strument of national policy therc must be established a larger measure | of confidence than now exists in the ability of the different nations of the world to maintain their pacific inten- tions under all the temptations and circumbstances which are sure confront them. History shows us only too clearly that will happen if we leave the old conditions unchang- ed. Affirmative constructive must be taken to carry out our good resolution and to begin the cvolution in mutual confidence and good-will | upon which the success of our reso lution depends. Otherwise the fail- | ure of our zood resolutions may pro- | duce a condition worse than if they had never been made. Naval Limitation Next Last spring President Hoover w ly decided that one of the most im- portant of such constructive steps steps was a move toward naval limitation. | He realized that if the nations mean the Kellogg pact literally they must now allow conditions to arise that will jeopardize their promise. The first method to that end is an agreement on limitation of arma- ments. That is a clear and positive test of a national intention to main- | tain pacific relations under all cir- cumstances. Such an agreement by its very of war as an instrument of national policy. Tor no nation is likely to {agree that its neighbors shall have a mavy large cnough for such a purpose. One of the surest thereforce. of the effectiveness of the Kellogz-Briand pact is the progress ich is being made in the limit tion of armament. Limitation of armament s a baromcter or gaugc of the development of confidence hetween nations which will enable Fl\rm to deal with each other wholly on the sidelines, it has been quite | Mr. Noyes and gentlemen of the | the future. As a matter of fact, the| Nearly two years ago the nations | solve their controversies | nation will resort to war as an in- | nature precludes the idea | tests, | this reason that my experience in the naval conference has given me s0 much encouragement. This en- couragement is not based solely on an appraisal of just how much has been accomplished in the particular treaty which we are signing but also upon the demonstration which this treaty affords that the process of limitation can be carried further in the future. Two Problems Solved The work of the London confer- ence has really comprised two quite separate naval problems—the prob- lem of the relations between the navies of the United States, Great Britain and Japan on the one hand and the problem of the relations be- tween the navies of Great Britain, Trance and Italy on the other. These arc quite distinct problems. The first of these has been solved. This is a great achievement in’ itself and fruitful of great benefit to the |seneral conditions of the world for the future. DBut it is a far simpler | problem than the other because the Inaval relations of three countries, scparated by such great oceans and wide distances as separate Great Britain, the United States and Japan are necessarily less complex than the naval relations of the powers of Europe. The latter are complicated by many conditions from which the former-are entire- ly free. Furthermore America's |isolated and advantageous position |and the national security which this | position affords imposes upon us the | duty to lead in the limitation of |armaments and to refrain from cri- ticizing others less fortunately placed. Discussions Valuable In the second of these problems— the problem of the relations*of the | navies of Great Britain, France and | Italy—valuable discussions have been had and the underlying ques- tions upon which a final solution must rest have been explored and | clarified. In much of the discussion, members of the American delega- tion have been privileged to sit as underlying questions. The discu on has not merely involved a nego- {tion about the size of navies or the |types of ships. It has been a study land debate concerning the political questions which govern the relations and | of these three nations of Iurope to | each other, Into these political questions it has not been America’s business to cnter. But sitting on the sidelines it has been quite evident that the result of the conference has been to clatify issues and make their solu- tion in the future more possible. In this way a long step forward has tion by those nations which havz not yet agreed on a complete limi- tation of their navies. This came not only by clarifying the results of. their discussion but by | the patience and good temper in | on. This has been a good augury for | the prospects of their final succe | They are separating now full of de- | termination to grapple with the: | problems as theylnow stand revealed and to finally solve them. Success of Kellogg Pact Tn summary, the message which T should like to make clear to you ali | today is that the success of the Lon- | don naval conference is necessarily | pact. The good resolutions of that D [be followed by mational cffort, | prompt, constant, unremitting effort to malke them good and no line of offort offers a better carnest of its u than the line of naval dis- rmament. In selecting that | President Hoover laid his finger | upon the best method of insuring | that our solen:n promise of two years | ago should be fulfilled. There are but two possible roads to travel. Onc is the road of competitive armament and this, whether accompanied or unaccompanied by good intentions, will lead to war. The other is the way of limitation with its constant cffort to forestall war by creating such confidence and friendliness be- tween nations as will prevent the | seeds of war from growing. We have | now before us not only a definite ob- | jective but a concrete method of go ing at it. There is something to work on, to get our teeth into. The hard ward and constant vigilance which will translate good intentions into practigal realities can be accomplish- ed and are being acomplished by naval limitation. Thi significance and encouragement of | the conference we have just been through. Greetings From Hoover The following grecting from Pres- ident Hoover was read at the lunch- |con by Frank B.

You all know that many readers of your newspapers are convinced that they could edit your newspapers better than you. Well, all of this class in every community combined feel individually and collectively that they could manage the Asso- ciated Press better than I can. Some do not hesitate to write me about it. The others write letters to the Some say it in ‘the The only comfort T can find i3 that cach has a selfish com- plex. In reality, what they want is to have the Associated Press cx- clude everything expect that which is' compatible with their own men- tal composure or which furthers their own selfish interests. “Men consumed with the passion of partisanship can never believe that an institution which deals so intimately with human conflicts can remain free from intentional bias. That's why the Associated Press is alternately, and with equal force, charged by partisans with being lit- eral, conservative, wet, dry, Catho- lic, Protestant, republican, demo- cratic, pro-labor, capitalistic, ete. “As a matter of fact, it is nons of those things.

There may be members of the board of directors who,” as. publishers, have leanings toward some one of these causes, Entrusted fully ~with the manage- ment of the news report as I am, it mever occurred to me to make note of their partisan interests. I ({do know that they would not try to impose their partisan views upon my administration of the news re- port.

It was three months ago today that the conference opened Wwith ex- pression of high hopes of a five pow- er treaty of limitation and reduction of naval armaments. The treaty to be | signed tomorrow forenoon is a threc power treaty of limitation between the United States, Great Britain and Japan, with some five power trim- mings on less important phascs which France and Ttaly will sign. Although falling short of the orig- inal aim of the conference, some ob- praise of the results of the confer- ence. Senator Robinson, democratic member of the American delegation, and minority leader in the senate, in a radio address yesterday pointed out that while all that was sought for had not been achieved certain defi- nite accomplishments had been, which represented a far advance toward lessened naval burdens. Says Nations to Blame He attributed the failure to reach five power limitation treaty to French demands for political secur- ity and Italian demands for naval parity with France, and revealed for the first time that the United States | never had been approached to join {in a security pact and that France | refused even to consider such a con- sultative pact as was once suggested | in a statement of Colonel Stimson. Mr. Robinson's address was a well | studied, carcfully prepared discus- sion of the work of the conference, and was accorded the utmost import- ance, since Senator Robinson as democratic leader might at least he cxpeeted to view the treaty hyper- critically.
