By Tdegraph—Pres# Assn—Copyright.

Rec. 11 pjn. Philadelphia, Oct. 1. Reviewing President Hoover’s foreign policy in an important address here tonight, the Secretary of State (Mr. H. L. Stimson) declared the Presidents leadership prevented the threatened collapse of the European economic structure and enabled those nations to embark on a programme of financial rehabilitation.

Commenting on the Manchurian situation, Mr. Stimson said the Sino-Japanese controversy not only was a blow to American commercial interests but also constituted a “deadly threat to the authority of the great peace treaties which had been conceived, after the Great War, by the nations of the world in a supreme effort to prevent & recurrence of such a disaster.”

Mr. Stimson stressed the success of the non-recognition policy of the United States as set out in the note to Japan un January 7, which policy, he said, had apparently world-wide support.
