While Japan has edged further Into

come to be known as the “Stimson

criticism of the Impotency of the Unit-
ed States In the Japanese situation,
but this must be allowed for the
United States: it attempted to do
something worthwhile, and historians
and students of foreign affairs in and
out of the government appear to agree
that the fallure of the effort cannot
be ald at the door of our nation.

Senator Borah, of Idaho, chairman

are concerned. He sees the Japanese
as “headed the other way.” That Is,
he believes thelr ambitions lle in the
direction of far-reaching domain on
the mainland of a, perhaps ns a

Senator Vandenberg, of Michizan,
another member of the same commit
tee, says he can vision a whole bushel
basket filled with possibilities. He
told me that freedom of the Philippines
without the strictest sort of protection
and arrangements for prevention of
trouble would lead directly to trouble
with Japan,
So it Is to be seen that the policy
of the United States with respect to
the Japanese invasion of China has
more importance than just as it bears
on seizure of Chinese territory,

Arms Export Treaty,
Relations between governments al
ways are matters of delicacy. It 1s
diffienlt sometimes, therefore, to gain
naked facts. Weathervanes may be
observed, however, and one of them
is the recent proposal by President
Hoover to the senate that it hurry up
a bit In ratifying the International
treaty forbidding export of arms and
munitions of war to nations where
there are situations of hostility breed.
ing, or where there Is actual war, He
proposed, as an alternative, that if the
senate did not see its way clear to
act on the treaty, is should enact legls
ers to lay an embargo on arms exports
from the United States under the con-
ditions set out In the treaty,
Mr, Hoover's message reached the
senate one day, and on the next day,
Senator Borah called his committee
together to consider that message, It
acted with unprecedented haste. It
did the somewhat unusual thing of
drafting a resolution right there in
the meeting, agreeing to it formally
and voting to submit it to the senate
at once, It is in the form of a joint
resolution which means, of course,
that after the senate has acted, it still
must be given t approval of the
house of representatives,
It must be remembered, however,
that acts of congress are of general
application always, and that if the
arms embargo authority be delegated
to the President, he could employ it
to defeat shipments of arms to the
Far East as 'well as to rebellious ele
ments in Latin-American,
