—SECRETARY HIGHES. j
America Has Every Assurance
of Abiding Peace, Cabinet
Member Tells Conference
of Social Work.
Praises Arms Meeting
Bv A,forlatf'l Pres*.
Washington, May 16.—America ha*
every assurance of abiding peace."
so far as “our relations with other;
peoples are concerned." Secretary
Hughes said tonight, in an address]
before the National Conference of
Social "Work.
“The cloud* which two ycais ago
darkened the far eastern sky have
been dissipated.” he said, “and to
the disappointment of those who make
ft bitterness the test of patriotism we
have been able to associate the great
powers of the Pacific in a friendly J
accord, supported by mutual confi
dence, while at the same time we j
have carefully preserved the sound
American tradition of freedom from !
alllagM and the principle of equality
of opportunity."
Mr. Hughes said this should bo ac
complished by achieving "a disarma
ment of thought” and that the Wash
ington arms conference “had roan-;
aged to scrap distrust as well as the'
vessels tof war," and to end wasteful]
competition "which spelled not se- ,
curity. but suspicion.”
■‘Today, notwithstanding the gravity j
of unsettled issues,” he continued, j
“we find throughout the world ample
reason for encouragement in the ear-1
nest efforts to remove the economic \
evils following the great war in the'
exhibition of enhanced industrial ca
pacity, in the swift repair of damaged ‘
areas, in the extraordinary extent of
recovery despite all difficulties.
Fear Main Barrier.
Po great has been the progress
that it is not too much to say that j
the whole aspect of affairs would in- :
srantly change if only means could
be found to dispel the fear and ap- .
prehension which is the barrier to
accord and to give a sound basis for ’
gp. the confidence which all desire. '
The secretary of state, said it was
o'ear that essential conditions of
peace "are not to be found in arti
ficial arrangements "but that it was
"the disposition of peoples that
counts."
"It is idle to talk of proscribing
was unless the peoples are intent on
maintaining peace." he added. "You
cannot, maintain peace by force for
who will supply, who will contiol,
who will direct the force? Great na
tions may. indeed, discipline a weak
power, provided they are united in
policy and provided always that the
weak power is not a necessary weight
in some contrived balance of power.
But when great nations do not agree
pmong themselves, who shall guard
the guardians?
One Way io Goal.
If those who are keenly desirous
of enduring peace will descend to the
contemplation of realities, it will be
bc-cji that there is only one way to the
goal—a long and difficult way—that
is. by the cultivation of the spirit of
friendship and good will among peo
ples through which alone the sources
of dangerous life ran be dried up."
Mr. Hughes declared that those
"who create a public sentiment which
makes it difficult for honorable states
men to find ways of practicable ad
justment" of international problems
v ere worse offenders than Intriguing
diplomats.
"Responsible leaders." lie continue I,
"are harried by their opponents, am
bilious rivals are ready to take their
places, editors and orators are quick
to excoriate those who seem to make
any national sacrifice in the Interest
of a reasonable adjustment and thus
an atmosphere is created which ren
ders futile the agencies of peace, how
ever admirably contrived they seem
w to be."
I*. S. Clierishes No Designs.
Th» secretary of state said that if
America was understood abroad it was
because of the gratitude there for the
work done by American 'relief
agencies. It Is well to recognize he
added, that there does exist ‘'what
has happily been called ag round
swell of popular good will towards
this country."
Referring to the republics of South
snd Central America and policies for
“their development secure in inde
pendence and an immunity for for
eign intrigue." Mr. Hughes declared
that only those suffering from "men
tal Indigestion" failed to realize that
the United Htates “cherished no Im
perialistic designs."
"But." he added, "I question if
the efforts of this government for
100 years have accomplished as much
to promote understanding and good
will In Catln-Amerlca as the recent
well directed endeavor of American
philanthropists in combatting disease
end thus directly contributing to hit
man welfare."

Showdown
Sharp Note Regarding Cap
tives Held by Outlaws—
“Sanctions” Increased.
I '
By I'nlvvvMl Service.
Washington, May 16.—The State
department was informed late today
that a joint demand was presented,
by the foreign diplomats at Pekin
this morning for a showdown on the
Chinese bandit situation.
The demand called for exact infor
mation as to why negotiations for
the release of foreign captive* held
by the bandits have broken down. It
was presented by Portuguese Minis
ter Batulha DeFretias. dean of the
diplomatic corps.
The communication also demanded
that the Chinese government outline
what It is doing at the present time
to secure the release of the prisoners
and what it proposes to do in the
future. The Chinese were reminded
that the time limit for the liberation
of the foreigners had expired, and in
formed that “sanctions" of increasing
sev erity would be applied for each day
they were held by the bandits.
The joint note was handed to the
Chinese foreign minister. Minister
Schurman reported to the department,
because of the complete breadown of
negotiations between the central gov
ernment and the bandit chieftains.
Troop* Ready for Action.
Other dispatches received at the
State department, from Pekin and
Lincheng reported the spread of ban
ditry throught 'China. American
troop* stationed at Tongshan were
prepared for action on the morning
of May 13. when bandits attempted
to rob a bank there. The troops
feared that the bandits might try to
loot or destroy railway property
which they were charged with pro
tecting.
The salt revenue office maintained
by the Chinese government at. Peituilio
was raided by bandits 6n the night of
the same day. They are said to have
obtained a considerable sum of money
from the raid. Several merchant
shops also were looted.
Other bandit raids were made at
Hankow and Pirac. The latter town
is not far from Pekin.
One report here today stated that
three Chinese captives were thrown
over a cliff by their captors Tuesday
as a grim warning that the foreigners
held would meet with a similar fate
if the terms of the bandits were not
agreed to at once.
Uves In Danger.
State department officials hate re
ceived no confirmation of this re
port. It is admitted, however, that
all information received by the de
partment indicates clearly that the
Uves of the foreigners are in greater
danger than has been believed, and
that the danger is increasing with
the passage of each day.
Summing up th* latest develop
ments. including the breakdown of
negotiations for the release of for
eigners. a spokesman for the State
department declared that the situa
tion was very grave.
“It certainly is not gcting any
better from day to day." lie added.
This serious view of the situation
was expressed upon the receipt of
official advices from Pekin anil
Lincheng that the negotiations for
the liberation of the American cap
tives have fallen flat,

New* of thi* action reached here
thi* afternoon, almost at the same
time that the diplomatic body an
nounced that withdrawal of recogni

the powers is Vicing considered as a
result of the bandit raid
Thi* announcement was made after
a second note had been handed to
i the Chinese foreign office on tl.r
kidnaping, a note decidedly stronger
than the first communication.
The diplomat* were Informed that

the bandit* will accept llie offer Is
