HOOVER OPPOSES
BUSINESS TRUCE
Tells Industrialists Their Proposal
Would Violate Anti.
Trust Laws.

A group of nearly 100 industrialists.
who have been meeting in Washington
since yesterday, called at the White
House today to enlist President Hoo
ver's support for proposed legislation
that would make possible the two-year
truce in destructive business competi-
ton and the maintenance of price
schedules. The President reminded his
callers that their proposal suggested the
violation of the antitrust laws and
suggested they return to their meeting
and give more mature thought to the
proposition.
AS spokesman for the industrial
group. Malcolm D. Whitman of Massa
chusetts told the President the strug-
gle for existence on the part of indus
trialists has become so serious that de-
structive competition is lowering wages,
prices and the earnings of industry.
He declared this condition threatens
the welfare of every business and every
worker so seriously that a national
emergency exists In trying to work out
some plan to relieve the situation. the
industrialists called their meeting
which started yesterday in Washington.
ITO make such a competition truce
effective" Mr. Whitman told the Pres
ident the impulse must be so wide
spread and so deeply imbued with the
thought of the common good as to i'm
pose upon each individual an obliga-
ton comparable to a patriotic call in

ADEQUATE DEFENSE .
URGED BY R|TCH|E.
Governor Emphasizes War
Threats in Opening Maryland
BicentenniaI Exercises.
Dy the Associated Press.

0y the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, February 11.-Gov.
Albert C. Ritchie today called on the
United States to maintain adequate
armed forces to protect the Nation in
the face Of a world giving every indi-
cation of preparing for another war.
Standing at the foot of the first
monument erected IN honor Of George
Washington, the Maryland executive
and Democratic presidential possibility
issued his plea over Nation-wid radio
system, in opening Maryland's celebra-
ton of the Washington Bicentennial.
Declaring that the armed forces of
the Nation now are far below the pro-
visions of the National Defense act, he
pleaded not to weaken them further.
Wants Assurance Of Safety.
"a military system adequate for our
national defense threatens nobody, but
it does assure safety to our people and
our possessions, due regard for our self
respect and neutrality and our effec-
tiveness as factor for world peace" he
said.
IF any one doubts the need of an
ADEQUATE Navy let him remember the
World War could not have been won
without the British and American
fleets. Let him look to the Far East
and wonder if tomorrow or the day
after the lives and safety of Americans
may not rest solely on Bluejackets to
protect them.
Our Army is at an irreducible mini.
mum, far below that provided by law
Is not this little enough in this human
world, marked not alone in both men
and nations by human virtues, but by
human faults and weaknesses as well,
and in which governments are only
mortals in power, often impelled by
over-vaulting ambitions for themselves
or for their countries?
FavoYs General Disarmament.
"By all means let the nations of the
world meet at Geneva to consider ger
eral disarmament. Let our representa-
tives there find out on what theory
European countries think they cannot
afford to pay their just debts to us
while they can afford to pay huge sums
on armaments which are an economic
drain on them and an incentive to fu-
ture wars.
We see world which has just
emrged from the most destructive war
in its history giving every indication
of preparing for another one.
I'VE should not encourage those who
would have the United States disarm
further as an incentive to other nations
to follow our example. I see little to
convince me other nations would do
so and we live in times too dangerous
to try that experiment.
There is no place for economy at
the expense of maintenance of a
thoroughly adequate national defense
policy. Let the Government stay out
OF the fields of private business where
it should not be. and save the millions
it spends yearly there. Let the Gov
ernment remember that the national
defense is public business and must
have what the protection of cur people
and our rights require"
