Arriving earlier in the week from London, Ambassador Dawes was bedded at the White House. As chairman of the U. S. delegation to the Geneva Arms Conference next month, he went immediately into conference with President Hoover, Secretary Stimson and other conference delegates on the problems ahead. Statesman Stimson appeared before the House Foreign Affairs Committee to ask for $450.000 expense money for the delegates, intimated that the U.

...Washington, where President Hoover and Statesman Stimson have taken the line that Japan should never have occupied any Manchurian stronghold, General Honjo's promise of "spring'' (i. e. Japanese occupation of the last stronghold), was coldly but helplessly received. Mr. Stimson, having come off second best in all his diplomatic skirmishes thus far with Japan (TIME, Dec. 7). decided last week not to risk another note or even another statement to the press. Secretly he cabled U. S. Ambassador William Cameron Forbes to convey secretly an "oral protest" to the Japanese Government...
