DRAWBACK, SAYS COLBY
Trip Has Taught Him Need for
Genuine Study of Latin
American Needs. a

PHILADELPHIA. February 10
Secretary of State Colby. speaking
before the American Academy of Po-
litical and Social Science here tonight
said he saw enough to realize that
one of the first duties incumbent
upon the people of the United States
is to re-examine every postulate with
which they approach the contempla-
tion or the study of the great re-
Rowe. director general of the Pan
American Union, introduced the Sec
retary.
I'VE never can bring our relations
to the peoples OF Latin America to
the point of intimacy, confidence and
that we must find the right psyche
logical approach to Latin America
That means the correction of most
of our assumptions and the studious
and open-minded appreciation of life
in South America, intelligently con-
sidered.
THE great barrier to American
progress abroad is language" Secre-
tary Colby continued. THE people
of the United States are not lin
gusts. You can hold no converse
with a man except in the terms of
not time for the interpreter. and
no patience either. Until the utterly
unfounded fallacy that English will
carry you around the world is ex-
ploded, and until the men whom we
send as representatives. either Dip
lomatic. consular or commercial, to
the countries of Latin America speak
the beautiful tongue of the Spaniard
or the Portuguese our progress will
be halting and Disappointing.
Instead Of being staggered by our
economic strength, our rapidly ex-
panding population. our unmistaka-
BILE economic and financial authority
i'm the world, they feel quite able to
hold their own. Instead of envying
US, think it quite ass true to say
that there are many developments
which they behold in this country
which are unattractive. and even re-
pellent. and from which they hope
in some way or other to protect
themselves"
The American who succeeds in the
Latin American countries. said Mr..
Colby. will be the man who assists
them in the solution of their prob
lens.

NEW YORK, February 19.-Maj.
Gen. Robert Lee Bullard. commander
or the Corps Area, vigorously OPP
posed disarmament in an address
here today before the National Re-
publican Club which he punctuated
with frequent rebukes for the pro-
ponents of the proposal.
ANY proposition of disarmament or
any limitation of armament is a
trick" he said. "either to gain or
representatives of different nations.
the discussion always consists of two
parts: first. a nice diplomatic express

friendship toward all other nations;
second, truth, regretful. but to them

purely American standpoint" Gen.
Bullard declared that disarmament

"unarmed or ill-armed peoples are
continually at war" Culture and
arms were linked by the speaker. who
pointed to Great Britain and Japan
now and the Germany of pre-war
to as marked example of 'progres-
siveness and rapidly increasing en-
lightenment."
''It is a significant fact" declared
Gen. Billiard. that from the monkey

struggle of life had had sense enough
to pick uD and use stick as an arm
developed into men. The others re-
mained monkeys.
Sims Fnvors Gas.
Rear Admiral William S. Sims took
up the question of disarmament from
the naval point of view, declaring the
navy is useless unless it is prepared.
He emphasized that new inventions
for warfare should be tested. The
torpedo boat, he said. had been looked
upon as formidable antagonist
against any battleship, and remained
so until the destroyer was invented.
At the beginning Of the war. he stat
ed. the submarine was declared to be
impracticable.
Many things are claimed for the

claims could do it, the navy would be

He advocated adoption of the air.

the battleship of the future.
Speaking Of the use of gas in war
fare, Admiral Sims admitted it was
brutal. but characterized it as a
legitimate weapon.
"The object of war is to destroy

NEW YORK. February 19.-The

agreement to the contrary can be
reached between ourselves and prob
able enemies.
"As separate or isolated policy,

OF comparative weakness while we

ously considered by the United

ITO fail of calling the conference"

This is the second statement issued

believe that Charles NJ. Schwab had
received expense money from the gov

Tne Secretary declared that the

private shipping interests in operat-
ing merchant craft and reiterated
his belief that if American passenger

competition with foreign liners they
must be permitted to sell intoxicants
outside the American three-mile line.
