HULL SEES NATION
LEADERFORPEACE.
Trade, Naval Arms Slash
and "Good Neighbor"
Policies Cited.
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull placed be-
fore Congress yesterday an assertion
that the United States was leading the
world against war through its trade,
naval arms reduction and good neigh
Dor" policies.
1.-THE primary purpose Of American
foreign policy" he said, "is the main
tenance and promotion of peace, not
only between the United States and
foreign nations but throughout the
world.
Whatever war prevails, the prog
ress Of civilization is retarded, COM
merce and industry are impaired,
heavy tax burdens are imposed upon
people and humanity in general suf-
ferS."
In testimony before House Appro-
priations Subcommittee, made public
for the first time yesterday and con-
sidered significant since 1t stood in
the nature of his sole annual report
to Congress. the Secretary said:
'In seeking to promote political
peace, this Government has dedicated
itself unequivocally to the policy Of
the good neighbor. We have en-
deavored consistently to cooperate
with the other nations of the world
In strengthening the machinery OF
peace and in devising new ways Of
preventing the possibility of war;
Hull said the ''good-neighbor" policy
had been carried out through partici-
patton in the Pan-American confer
ence. where five peace pacts were
signed; signing Of a new treaty with
Cuba calling for abolition Of the Platt
amendment. which permitted Ameri-
can Intervention in that nation, and
the withdrawal Of Marines from Haiti.
Discussing the administration S
trade program. the Secretary said 1t
was the most constructive single
effort to achieve the liberalization
of world trade through the reciprocal
reduction of trade barriers and the
removal and prevention of discrimi-
nations"

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

March II, 1776-Lady Hester Lucy
Stanhope was born in London, daught
er of the 3rd Earl of Stanhope, de-
stined to become one of the most re-
markable women of her time. After
having served 10 years as private sec
rotary to the great Premier William
Pitt, in a day when it was extraordi-
nary for a woman to have such a po-
sition, she became deranged. She
wandered to Asia Minor, won the
friendship and confidence of wild
Arab tribes and became their queen.
The crazier she became, the greater
her power grew until she dominated
Syria and Palestine. She died at 81.
March II, 1854 general postof-
flee was established by authorization
of Congress, in consequence of plea
of the acknowledgement, Ebenezer
Hazard, that the new nation needed a
federal postal system reaching every
part of the country. He had some
difficulties obtaining authorization,
for private mail services were ope-
rating, and they usually were faster
and less expensive than the U. S.
Mail.
March II, 1866-Memorial Day had
it's inception. In a letter to the Co
lumbus, Ga, Times, Mrs. Mary Ann
Howard Williams proposed setting
aside a day ito wreathe the graves
of our Martyrred dead with flowers,

COTTON ROADS ARE
TO Be TESTED OUT
Some SO or 60 Miles Will
Likely Be Constructed
During 1886
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
w Il SIX IT'D


Raleigh, March 1.-THE State High
way and Public Works Commission is
hoping to be able to build from so to
go miles of cotton roads" this spring
and summer, as a result of the ap-
preparation by Congress to the u S.
Bureau of Public Roads of 81 300, 900
to be used in building experimental
roads using cotton fabric as a binder
between the clay base and the blum
nous surface on top, Chief Engineer
W. Vance Baise said today. He has
written to the Bureau of Public Roads
for further information and to find
out, if possible, how much of this sum
will be allotted to North Carolina.
1--WE have been planning to build
some of these cotton roads this
spring with State funds, in order to
determine whether the surface treat
ed roads built with a cotton fabric
binder will stand up better and wear
longer than roads built without it,"
Baise said. But if the u S. Bureau
of Public Roads will furnish the
fabric for these experimental roads,
as preliminary reports indicate, we
will try to build from SO to so miles
of them this year, since we can use
the fabric on roads which we are go
ing to rebuild or retreat any way and
at no additional expense. We are hop
ing that this will be the case since
the cotton fabric needed cost from
$500 to $1,000 mile and the cost of
surface treating road is increased
by that amount"
Some Benefits Certain.
There is no doubt that the use of
the cotton fabric binder between the
road base and the surface treatment,
helps to hold the base together and
make the road stand up better, since
it prevents the seepage of water and
moisture into the base, Baise pointed
out. Much of the damage to surface
treatde roads this winter could I'M
doubtedly have been prevented or
greatly reduced if they had been built
with the cotton binder to prevent rain
snow and moisture from getting into
the clay and soil base.
The only question to be determined
is whether the additional cost involv-
ed in building these cotton roads,"
amounting to from $500 to $1,000 a
mile will be justified by longer wear
and a decrease in maintenance costs,
Baise said.

Eddie was sad about the closing OF
the Central Park Casino, that dazz-

much ermine and so many stiff shirts
used to pop the eyes of plain citizens
He got his start, rose to fame there.
"Of course the political phases of

outside my field. I haven't any opin-
ion about that But it makes me blue
to see the Casino dark. My career is
only four years old and I got my big
start there -
after all, society people have to
have some place to play, too. That
was it,"
Eddie married Miss Marjorie Gel
richs a little more than a year ago.
She's of the breathlessly fashionable
Oelrichs clan and she had had to
bear ostracism for marrying an zen
tertainer," as far as the Social Regis
ter was concerned.
She doesn't mind. She likes to go
with her husband on one-night stands
throughout the country, playing in
theatres and for dances. She doesn't
mind about the Social Register be-
cause she knows that all the debbies
who remained in the book envy her
half to death for getting Eddie.
