WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Presi-
dent Hoover today told the ma
tional convention of radio broad
casters meeting in Detroit that the
American policy of making radio
broadcaSting a private, instead of a
governmental, enterprise has
avoided the pitfalls of political and
social conflicts in the use of speech
over the radio"
The President spoke from the
cabinet room of the executive offices,
renewing his acquaintance with the
b~roadcasters begun nine years ago.
Deploring the 'Snail's pace" set
by the nations for averting wars,
President Hoover Sunday night ap-
pealed for a new world spirit that
would force retrenchment in arma-
ments.
Mr.. Hoover's appeal was made in
a radio address to the Methodist
ecumenical congress at Atlanta.
"A new spirit must be made in
the world on this subject" the
President said. "a new spirit must
be created within the nations and
between the nations.
Il appeal to you as representa-
tives of Methodists everywhere to
unite with all other lovers of good
will and followers of the Prince of
Peace for the making of human
brotherhood, in which the peace of
God shall prevail in the lives of
men,
