' A diplomatic spokesman for the Hew Deal has been advising observers privately to watch the Pan-American conference for "Its effect on the League of Nations neutrality moves." What he means Is that the admin istration hopes Europe will take up mil ' and subscribe to the American neu trality pact expected to be adopted in B. A. but, rrankiy, it only -nope.. TJ. B. diplomats hsve received no practical encouragement for peace from any of the nations which are likely to go to war. They will find It eesv encuah to net the smaller American nations Into a neutrality pact, ut getting Japan, Germany, Russia, et al, Into any effective agree ment will be something entirely dif ferent. All that can be done Is for officials to make peace news, talk It up, try to create a new inwmawon.i p-j-an hone something will break.
