Rejection of Stabilisation.
One authoritative source said that for more than a decade the United States had been the international missionary, proposing various tres ties, economic agreements and other co-operative movements.
The rejection of stabilisation and the starting of the naval programme with the statemens that the Navy should be second-to-none marked the beginning of the nationalistic pro gramme, he said.
It was emphasised that resident Roosevelt was not in favour of isolation bat that he would probably offer little advice to foreign nations in the near future.
This policy will even extend to disarmament and the United States will "soft pedal any disarmement demands at Geneva. Mere sugges- tions instead of sharp appeals or de- mende will probably be made.
It was further point d out thut after assuming office, President Roosevelt attempted to continue the Hoover policy in international af- fairs even to the extent of support ing the so-called Stimson doctrine which grew out of an exchange o notes with Japan.
Elusive Lord Marley,
A Singapore Fres Press represen- tative went on board the liner hoping to receive from Miss Wilkinson a first band account of what it is hoped to accomplish at the conference in Shanghai. But he found only this mystery.
Lord Marley, who whs on board the liner, is to bo chairman of the confer ence, and he has stated that the object of it is to conduct an active propa ganda campaign in the Far East in favour of world peace. It is felt that there is every danger at the present time of another Russo-Japanese war, which might easily develop into a world war of even greater dimensiona than the Great War.
Even Lord Marley was elusive, and was not to be found when a Free Preu representative sought him aboard the vessel during its brief stay in port..
