FLIGHT FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO HONGKONG.

London, March 10, The "Times" correspondent at New York reports that it is stated that the American Navy is constructing two giant seaplanes, with which a flight will be attempted from San Francisco to Hongkong via Honolulu, Wake Island, Guam and Manila. It is reported that the new giant Vickers aeroplane will challenge for the trans-Pacific flight.

HONGKONG-SINGAPORE BATTALION.

London, March 10. A Royal Warrant announces that as from 1st. April, 1915, native officers and men of the Hongkong-Singapore Garrison Artillery who were granted service pensions during the war or alter 2nd. February will be paid the same rates as may be awarded in similar circumstances to Indian Army officers and soldiers of the same rank, but pension under pay warrant of December, 1914, may be drawn if more favourable than the new rate.

AMERICAN NAVY'S GROWTH.

1 Washington, March 10. Giving evidence before the Naval Committee of the House of Representatives, Mr. Daniels said that extensive improvements in the naval facilities on the Pacific Coast were very necessary. The Pacific Fleet was now much bigger than the entire American feet which sailed round the world. before the war. The tonnage of the Pacific Fleet was over half a million, including big capital ships being built, which ho said would be necessary to protect the coast of Alaska and the Philippines. Mr. Daniels recommended the develop- ment of Pearl Harbour as a supply base. Guam as a fuelling and repair eation and a naval dockyard at San Francisco capable of repairing capital ships; also a large increase in the Naval Reserve.

AMERICA AND THE LEAGUE.

to

Washington, March 19, While President Wilson regards the reservations Artide Ten hitherto proposed as unacceptable, it is ap parently hoped that he will accept the modified reservation mentioned on March 9th. In effree-this reservation is that the United States assumes no obligation to employ her forces under the Peace Treaty for any purpose unless Congress so provides by joint resolution.

ADMIRAL SIMS DEFENCE.

? Washington, March 10. Speaking before the Senate Committee, Admiral Sims denied the charge of throwing mud at the Navy. He resented the charge of divided allegiance because he happened to have been born in Canada and said if the Americans did not want a man with British or French sympathies to sit in the councils of the Allies they should have sent a pro-German with a trunkful of bombs.

THE U.S. PRESIDENCY.

AMERICAN ALOOFNESS.

MR. HOOVER'S WARNING TO EUROPE.

NOTICES.

DO YOU SMOKE?

JUST RECEIVED

Washington, January 12-Mr. Hoover appeared to-day before the Ways and Means Committee of the House to support the demand of Mr. Glass, Secretary JOHN

of the Treasury, that Congress. [should authorise a credit of | £30,000,000, whereby the starring countries of Europe might buy. through the American Grain Corporation, surplus American foodstuffs. His reception, like the tone of the Press, now that) the plight of Austria and Poland, which he again described appalling, is beginning to be grasped, encourges the judgment Eat Congress will take favour able action. There are signs, however, that its action may be annotated anyhow by the warn- ing that Europe need expect no

unless she modifies in certain respects her political reconstruction and makes the best use of her own economic | resources.

Mr. Hoover showed plainly his dislike of the Austrian settlement. He repeated that if Austria were; left in her present position she would be a permanent mendicant. He held that the policy of the Allies towards Austria' was not American policy, and that Amer ica could not be expected to help again if Europe kept her as she was. He pointed out too, that. in some wars the plight of East- ern Europe was better than a year ago, since there was actually a surplus of food in Bulgaria Rumania, and Yugo-Slavia, and a sufficincy in the Baltic States.

When the debate in the Senate starts pleiner speaking on the same lines is not impossible. There is considerable feeling among members that Europe has not been precicely happy in her treatment of Poland, strong agrée- ment with Mr. Hoover's Austrian views, and some tendency to demand assurances that countries which have enough shall treat generously their indigent neigh- hours. Newspapers like the Chicago Tribune take the same line and it is natural that they should.

The United States seems to be entering on a new phase of her relationship to Europe, or, rather, reverting to an old phase. Dur- ing the deys of neutrality, Americans were encouraged by their traditional modes of thought and by the President himself, to believe that the war was the pro-i duct of the European system of selfish nationalism. When she entered the war, the idea was buried under a wave of generous enthusiasm for a new-found cause. After the Armistice there began a reaction. The Pres- ident was described from Paris by multitudinous correspondents as hampered in his idealism by British, French. and Itatian Im- perialism, and so on. The long controversy over the League in the Senate, the Press, and in the country, to say nothing of the obvious imperfections of the Peace settlement, has helped on the reaction, until now American thought seems to tend towards the same type of aloofness 25 that which, four years ago, was making the Presiden: believe that he could best serve human- ity by keeping out of the war and helping Europe to arrange

peace.

Germany and her potentiality for evil are, for the moment, out of the picture. The Russian situation, thanks partly to the defective methods of publicity of the Allies, is so befogged that its warning is, to a great extent, lost sight of, and anyhow, if. Bolshe vism is a danger, the view taken is that Europe should prepare first line of defence by getting down seriously to economy and reconstruction and subordinating| to that task the play of politics: and national ambitions.

Such, according to more than one competent American obser- ver, is, roughly, not the least im- portant key to their countrymen's attitude towards Europe. It ex- plains the popularity of Mr. Hoover's views. It explains sun- dry aspects of the League con- troversy, and to Englishmen, with their record of somewhat complacent isolation behind them, i it does not need much defence, especially if American traditions of foreign policy be remembered and the cogency of the current causes of America's pre-occup- ation with her own affairs.
