Hoover Urges That Food Ships Be Free From War Blockade
Says Naval Reduction Can Not Be Too Low to Please United States
Washington, Nov. 12-(UP)- America's traditional demand for freedom of the seas found new dimensions in its response to President Hoover's bold proposal that food ships be free from all interference by blockade in time
Linked with this far-reaching proposal in his Aristocracy day address to the American Legion last night in Washington auditorium, the Chief Executive outlined the administration's positive policy of "preparedness for and readiness to defend" is as important to every nation as armed defense for force.
As to naval reduction, President Hoover declared it cannot go too low to please the United States.
Suggests Old Naval Policy
"I would place all vessels laden solely with food supplies on the same footing as hospital ships," President Hoover declared. "The times has come when we should remove stirration of children from the weapons of warfare."
The suggestion strikes to the cornea. The attack can be a free form of the seas, for it would abrogate right of any power to enforce a sea blockade against the civilian populace.
The President specifically disavowed any intention of injecting the question into the forthcoming London election, and the Prime Minister a like statement by Prime Minister Ramsey MacDonald in London Saturday. However, diplomatic observers have suggested that the President's proposal must lead soon to at least informal exchanges between the principal powers on the whole subject of the wartime law of Britain.
The blockade has been traditionally, maintained by British foreign and naval forces. The US will jack Jack to domination of the seas by his victory over the Spanish Armada in 1807.
Not A Conference Problem
Not A Conference Problem

For those who doubted the practicability of the ideas he recalled that the Belgian Relief commission, which he co-hosted in years, delivered more than 2,000 shiploads of food through two rings of blockade continuously through the Algerian sea.

Two prolific minds brought Kansas out in the front ranks of the Big Six conference football race last night at Kansas State. The team opted optimistic calculations of the dope-Kansas Kansers, Kansas Aggies, and Oklahoma well suitably. The final whale hitched on the 1922 schedule for Big Six competition at Lincoln and Norman, Thanksgiving Day.
Big Six Fates Are Juggled and Lo! Jayhawkers Ties for First Ranking
In order to attain the best results possible for Jayhawk fans, the percentages would read like this:
W 3 L Tied 0 Pct
KANSAS 2 1 0 600
K-Aggries 3 2 0 600
Okahanna 3 2 0 600
Indiana 2 2 1 500
Missouri 2 2 1 500
Iowa State 1 2 1 200
Such a forecast, of course, predicts that Kansas will down *Dillingham Henry*'s Tigers here at the annual fray on Nov. 23, (hooneaching power and all that). After this contest, the Tigers asked to pounce on the Sooners for Thanksgiving feast at Norman, just for the sake of calculations.
Oklahoma must put Nebraska out of the race this Saturday at Lincoln, in order that the Huskers can bump up on the defensive edge. Nebraska would be too dangerous with only one defeat, so Iowa State looming up as a dark horse must, for the good of the cause, smite the Huskers at Lincoln on Turkey Day.
There you have it—Kansas ties for Big Six honors!
