FIR. WOULD END
ON
J.. s. DEFENSE
Says Adequate Measures,
Good Neighbor Policy
Compatible

WASHINGTON, April 81 CUP
- President Roosevelt asserted
last night that his administration
stands for both adequate national
defense and the policy of the good
neighbor-and these, he said, ARE
not contradictory principles"
The presidents stand was taken
in q message to the Daughters of
the American Revolution, opening
their 45th continental congress at
Constitution Hall. Mr.. Roosevelt
sent regrets at being unable to at
tend himself due to the death of
his longtime friend and advisor
Louis McHenry Howe.
To-day, our defense forces are
on a stronger peace-time basis
than before" Mr.. Roosevelt in
formed the OAR. delegates. at
is our purpose to keep them that
way"
The text of the letter follows:
'"T!is administration, as you
know, stands for adequate nation
al defense. 1t stands also for the
policy of the good neighbor.
These are not contradictory prin-
cipleS. They represent an express
sion for the purpose of peace.
BELIEVES DEFENSE OF
TODAY is ADEQUATE
"There is much confusion of
thought and some unnecessary APP
prehension on this mater Of ma
tional patriotic. There are sincere
and patriotic people who have
been led to believe that our mill
taly and naval establishments are
inferior and inadequate. That, so
stated, is a totally wrong conclu-
sion. 1t has been the aim of this
administration to make our ma
tional defense efficient and to
keep it adequate.
To-day our defense forces are
on a stronger peace time basis
than before. 1t is our purpose to
keep them that way.
"There are other equally sim
cere and patriotic people who look
upon our system Of national de-
Tense as much too large for our
needs, on unnecessary expense, a
threat perhaps to peace. That too
is totally wrong conclusion.
WAR OF AGGRESSION NO
PART OF U. S. POLICY -
when we say adequate defense
we mean just that. The prospect
of a war of aggression has no
place in our American policy. 1t
J has no place in our military or
naval program. We are maintain
ing a system that will meet our
defensive needs. We have no
plans for any other kind OF a sys-
tenn.
americans generally will agree
that some measure of prepared
ness for defense is necessary.
They disagree as to how much Is
necessary. The policy of the gov
eminent on that point is deter
mined by several factors.
First of all it is determined by
very common sense fact. If we
take on any of the obligations of
self-protection, it follows that we
must take on all the obligations
of self-protection. We have, for

TREMENDOUS DAMAGE FROM
FOREST FIRES FEARED HERE;
2BAD FIRES START NEAR CITY
Only Early Rains Can Pre-
vent Ravages; Six Men
Still Fight One Blaze

Unless there is rain within the
next few days, forest fires will
probably do a tremendous damage
in Henderson county, Fire War
den Joe Whitaker said this morn
ing. -
Fires are breaking out in all
parts of the county, Mr.. Whitaker
said. One fire on Murray Greek
and Shaggy Mountain, four miles
southwest of this city, started at
II o'clock Monday and burned
over 100 acres. The CCC camp
at Brevard assisted in bringing
this fire under control about z a.
m today. Six men are still on
the lob fighting this fire.
Altogether there were about
- forest fires in the county last
week Mr.. Whitaker said, most OF
them started by the carelessnesSS
of people in burning off brush ana
nasture land. In this connectioh'
he pointed out that one man from
the Green River section and one
from the Mountain Page section
had been arrested for setting out
fires. 49,. ,t =
The penalty for setting out a
fire is a 5000 fine or four mohthS
on the roads, or both, in the dis
cretion of the court. Letting a
fire get from control is a mlsue :
meanor, punishable by me OF
$50, or 80 days. oo . A.
The county had $4OO rom the
county funds and S4OO from the
state and federal government TO
use in fighting fires and tins tGnd
has almost been exhausted. Inc
CCC camps at Arden and breVard
have made men available TO use
in fire fighting.

Tim Mccoy Plays in 'Straisgh g
 Big Racing Film

Tim Mccoy will be seen again in another of his in- creasingly popular action dramas when "Straighta- way" his latest production for Columbia Pictures, op- ems Friday at the Dream Theatre.
 Some six months ago, Mccoy announced his intention of for saking the western characters in which he had been starred for dozen years, in favor of up-to- date and modern roles. His first, Police Car IT," a story of the radio patrol, was followed by Hold the Przss,' a thrilling news paper yarn. "Straightaway," sensational stcry of auto race track drivers, is the third of the new dramas for this popular star.
 In "StraightaWay" he will be seen as the champion. When his employer requests him to drive a crooked race, he resigns and is employed by a rival manufactur- CT to drive his cars. Tims bro ther, who has been riding with him as mechanic, is now a capa- ble driver, and Tim puts him in the drivers seat of a new and faster car than his own.
 His disgruntled ex-employer in structs his drivers to "get" Tim and his brother, and to wreck the new car. In a sensational and breath-taking race, the rival dri- yer tries to wreck the brothers car and Mccoy drives his own between them and takes the crash.
 Sue Carol will be seen as Tim's leading lady, with William Bake well as Tim's brother. Samuel Kinds is the rival manufacturer, with Arthur Rankin as his son, and Francis Mcdonald as his un- scrupulous driver.

COTTON QUIET,
FEATURELESS

NEW YORK, Jan. 10 GN.SJ.
Cotton trading continued feature
less and dull as traders remained
out Of the market waiting for the
Supreme Court decision on cotton
legislation. All contracts were
slightly easier on the session de-
spite minor gains in Liverpool.
Somewhat better support in the
distant months held losses in
those options to about a point
while March slipped about Is
cents bale. The trade, Liverpool
and the Continent were the prin-
cipal buyers against selling by the
South, spot houses, locals and
New Orleans.
There was very little activity in
the January contract. Mills are
complaining about the continued
strength in the near months since
it makes it virtually impossible
for them to secure spot cotton at
a price even nearly approximating
the average level Of the futures
staple. It is also believed that
many mills are short Of January
and are afraid of a squeeze.
Towards noon March was
quoted at 11.43, off 3; May lilo,
off /; July 1898, off /, and Octo-
Der 1864, off / point.
