SECRETARY HULL
 KEEPSOU OF WAR
Continued from Page l.)

fifth annual New York Herald-Tri- hume forum on current affairs.
 However, after he had completed the statement, Hull said that al- though most of the American people were agreed upon these policies and principles, the duties and the neces- sitaes of the situation render their execution in practice not such a simple matter.
 we have an opportunity and a duty to exert an enormous moral influence throughout the world in support of peace and peaceful set- tloment of controversies" he said He added that we should exert that inufiuence, and are. doing so.
 ssNor does this exhaust the limits of our duty or of the necessities of the problem of maintaining peace, he said. For that end some mas- tery over the causes of conflict is required, mastery only to be ob- tained by the simultaneous action of many countries.
 Must Find Common Basis
 T have in mind primarily action in the economic and monetary spheres. In the task of remedying the conditions and difficulties which foster conflict, a common basis of action must be found with other countries =. know of no d.-:action in which your wish for peace could be more beneficially turned than upon the restoration Of international trade and other econ- omie activities between this and other countries. In this field we may endeavor to take the lead, but any performance effective enough to make a vital difference in this question of war and peace must be the work of many countries.
 "The stir and stimulus of econ- omic hope and improvement are the fayoring conditions of peace. They c-..l be stimulated by tie vigorous rebuilding of international trade which enables each country to live beyond and outside it's borders. and by the gradual restoration of inter- national monetary stability .. =.
 "The nations can and must simul- taneously endeavor to facilitate the m. .vement of trade between them to find their way back to stable monetary relations, and to agree lpon the organization and princi- sles which will assure that all i'm. ,ortant raw materials will become tvailable on reasonable terms wherever they are needed.
 Statesmen Speak
 New York, Oct 15-UP)-Re. newcd determination to keep this nation out of war was voiced by leading American statesmen today at the outset of a three-day forum on current problems, held under auspices of the New York Herale Tribune:
 Norman H. Davis, President Roosevelt's ambassador large warned the 2,000 delegates, however that the only absolute guarantee of keeping out of war is that there should be no war in any part of the world"
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull speaking from Washington epitom- ized the American policy:
 We are determined not to enter into armed conflicts that may arise l:Sween other countries, and to enforce such policies as may be re- quired to avoid that risk"
 This country, he said, has no ag- gressive ambitions, threatens the safety of no other nation and Is prepared to defend itself.
 Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt told the delegates that the greatest enemy of women the world over is war"
 Pleading for understanding of other nations problems, she said it is fallacy to believe that be- cause we live in the United States we are isolated from the rest of the world"
 Sir Samuel Hoare, British For eign secretary, in an address broad cast from London, said:
 fsI want to convince you that we in Great Britain stand for abolition of war and mentality of war, whe. ther 1t be on the field of battle or on the field of commerce, industry and labor. We want a new world and new order in human rela- tions in which peace and justice, trade and intercourse. shall be se- cure
 He said the British people sol,d- " support the League of Nations c0nyenAi1t fin our steady deter mination to resist all acts of unpro- vohed aggression and to substitute peaceful methods of settlement for fhe nid methods of war"
