Boston, Aug. fl P-The defense scored heavily last night as it opened it's case in the court martial proceedings against Captain Samuel E. Murray, commander of military police at the recent National Guard encampment at Devens, with sweeping refutation of testimony previously offered by witnesses for the prosecution.
 Story Widely Differs
 Murrays witnesses presented il strikingly different version of oc- currences at the camp the night be fore the gGth Division broke tram ing. They swcre that the accused officer was not only sober at time when the prosecution contends he was boisterously drunk and en- gagged in physically chastising three privates, but also offered testimony to bear out Murray's contention that members of the headcuarters detachment had it in for him"
 Private Martin J. Giovennella Of Boston, member of the military police detail, who was acting as chauffeur for Murray on a tour of the emp the night of the alleged altercation, told the court marticl that he and not Murray had struck one of the privates after the officer had been assailed by a volley of foul language from a group of head quarters men who were up long after taps had sounded.

SEES NATIONA|ISM
 AS THREAT OF WAR
Historian at Hyannis Condemns Tariff and Naval Construction

Hyannis, Mass. Aug. 14 P)-Our
 mounting tariff barriers and naval
 rivalry with Great Britain are evil
 dences in the United States of the narrow nationalism which the most serious menace to world pace in this century, Dr. Carleton J. H. Hayes of Columbia university today told the
 Institute of World Unity in session
 here. Other indications of this, he r said, were our refusal to join the
 League of Nations, our attitude to-
 ward the world court immigration restrictions and intolerance toward minorities
 The address was his third on the relations of nationals to internation- alism. He pictured the struggle be-
 tween two types of nationalism for control of government in every
 western country. These, he said. are Liberal nationalism, combining de-
 votion to ones country with a sense
 of international obligation" and 'in- tegral nationalism. which seeks the
 predominance of it's country at any cost.
 Nationalism Only Petty
 Integral nationalsm," Dr. Hayes said, lis the uncompromising foe of the internationalism preached by humanitarians and liberals It makes the nation not means to humanity
 but an end in itself"
 Tt relies on military force and is distrustful of other nations. It inter- feres with other nations whenever
 it seems advantageous to do so.
 Tn the face of this type of na- tionalism, a League of Nations or any international means to peace and security is doomed to sterility and destruction. Moreover, in do-
 nestle affairs this attitude is highly illiberal and tyrannical. It would compel all citizens to conform to the same standards and suppress every individual liberty for the sake of
 conformity 10 it's arbitrary power It is the consistent and tireless foe of democracy in city and nation as we'll as in international relations Exists in United States
 'It is easy to point out the evi- ! dences of integral nationalism in Italy and Russia. but it exists also in
 the postwar national policies of the | United States government and in the l large popular majorities supporting them-our refusal to join the league, our reluctance to cooperate with it, our attitude toward the
 world court. our naval rivalry with Britain. our immigration restrictions,
 our intolerance toward minorities
 and finally in our mounting tariff barriers.
 Tn Asia, among the Chinese. Per sians and Hindus, liberal national i ism-the effort to get rid of foreign
 oppression--is now in the ascendant marking the same stage as Euro pean nationalsm in the 18th cen
 tury. But in most countries of | Europe and America, an oppressive ! integral nationalism has been i'm posed upon the older liberal nation
 alism and here lies the most serious
 menace to peace during the goth century,"
