UTLEY WITH the civil war in Spain jirettming new anl perhaps possibilities of another great war on the European the stage was appropriately set for an address lv the President of the United States concerning peace, and how this country shall maintain it in the face of struggle abroad. The address was delivered before a crowd of 12,lX persons at Chautauqua, X. Y., and additional millionslca--at home likening to their t fur the duration of the radios.

It was a to end all wars" so when it "war w news m '! m w 1 w rn iipwyn was over, the victorious nations attempted to organize to preserve the assuming that the status peace quo at the end of the war could be permanently preserved, an assumption sadly shaken since. We had participated in the conference of the Hague and other international peace movements. Largely at our own President's suggestion, the League of Nations was formed, with its offspring, the World court, but we stayed out of them. We sat in on the interminable disarmament conferences. And finally, we brought forth the Kellogg pact which outlawed war on paper. Unfortunately it did not succeed in outlawing war on the earth's surface, and perhaps it was the Kellogg pact of which President t Roosevelt was thinking at Chatau-qu- a when he said: Roosevelt Speaks on Peace.

It is an even the fact that the response would more bitter experience for the whole have been equally enthusiastic had company of nations to witness not only he hated spinach, red flannels or the spirit but the letter of international washing dishes. Decries 'Fools Gold' The President said that before the 1932 election, "I have made up my mind that, pending what might be called a more opportune moment on other continents, the United States could best serve the cause of a peaceful humanity by setting an example." Later on, he said: "I wish I could keep war from all nations; but that is beyond my power. I can at least make certain that no act of the United States helps to produce or promote war." The President also said: "If wnr should break out again in another continent, let lis not blink the fact that we could find in this country thousands of Americans who, seeking immediate richesfools' gold would attempt to break down or evade our neutrality . . . agreements violated with impunity and without regard for the simple principles of honor." The President cited the nation's for peace. he said, "to "We and it was the the bitter end in the work of the bitter end general disarmament conference. When it failed, we sought a separate treaty to deal with the manufacture of arms and the international traffic in arms. That proposal also came to nothing. Not Isolationists "WTe participated again to the in a conference to bitter end continue naval limitations, and when it became evident that no general treaty could be signed because of the objections of other na attempts to te tion, we warn our citizens at home and abroad to preserve the spirit and letter of our neutrality. The country's application of the neutrality law in the Italian case has been mentioned. The next application was un last August 7 when the government instructed its diplomatic and consular representatives in Spam that its policy was one of advising American nationals in the same vein. Tins raises a fine point. Our law applies tn fighting between two nations but the Spanish incident is a civil war and concerns only one nation. International law experts say that political neutrality does not obligate the nationals of a neutral nation unless that nation has a domestic law which controls such nationals. From this viewpoint it seems that our neutrality law dot s not cover our nationals in the Spanish case.

To his administration's "good neighbor" policy the President gave much of the credit for the harmonious conditions which he said existed in the Western World. "Throughout the Americas the spirit of the good neighbor is a practical and living fact," he said.' "The 21 American republics are not only living together in friendship and in peace; they are united in the determination so to remain. "To give substance to this determination, a conference will meet on Dec. 1, 1936, in the capital of our great southern neighbor. Argentina, and it is, I know, the hope of all chiefs of state of the Americas that this will banish wars forever from this portion of the earth." 3,000 Miles of Friendship He cited the abandonment of our right to interfere in the internal affairs of Cuba, the withdrawal of marines from Haiti, the new treaty with Panama, and the various reciprocal trade treaties effected under Secretary Hull, as evidence of The latter our treaties, of course, have been fre- - Happy the man who can endure with equanimity the highest and the lowest fortune.

Blightly fitted at the waist to accent the mild flare of the skirt, this pretty and petite princess model goes together like a charm, the result of a minimum of effort and expense.

The policy of America, the great peacemaker, setting an example to the world, is not new. Long and often sorrowful accounts of its high moral achievement and almost complete physical failure are readily to be gleaned from even the newer pages of history. Rights of Neutrals But the policy of foregoing the profits to be collected from other nations' wars profits which would provide work and income for millions of unemployed in order to maintain absolute neutrality and peace, is new. Because it requires individual personal sacrifice as well as collective good behavior, it is perhaps on even a higher moral plane than the exemplary policy. Its possibilities in application have yet to be tested in any real way. President Roosevelt admittedly struck the popular chord when he gave assurance that the nation would dedicate itself to maintaining neutrality in the case of any war. It is little short of innovation to imply the waiver of the rights of neutrals to trade freely on the high seas in time of war. Vff that, or nearly that, has been the demonstrated policy of the administration in the situation, when it announced on October 5, J9,?5, that Americans would deal with belligerent nations at their oun risk. Before the European war broke out in August of 1914, this nation was definitely committed to neutrality and in the two years that followed made heroic almost efforts to maintain it. The government's secret agents went so far as to shadow persons suspected of having tendencies other than neutral, and put them in jail or deported them. Yet with the perspective given us by the passing of the years it would seem that our neutrality, while it was a legal fact up to April, 1917, was morally American sympathies from the start were with the Allies. They were expertly exploited by the propaganda of the Allied diplomatic services, and only whetted by the inability of the German diplomats, with their blunders inspired by the hopelessness and desperation of their situation as it became more and more apparent comic-o- pera non-existe- A I GEE, DIZZY, WHAT'RE VDuV " Igoin'todo withthat I' "it Ml ' t V,;, IftJSl!'

The outstanding example of good neighbors are the United States and Canada, the President said: "The noblest monument to peace and to neighborly economic and social friendship in all the world is not a monument in bronze or stone, but the boundary which unites the 3,000 United States and Canada miles of friendship with no barbed wire, no gun or soldier, and no passport on the whole frontier."
