PEACE MOVE
Secretary Looks to Better
World Trade as Factor
in Pacification

WASHINGTON, April Is. -
UJp,-A clarion call for contin-
ued peace in the western hemis-
pbere was sounded yesterday by
President Roosevelt and Sccre-
tary of State Cordell Hull in ira
dition SCATTERING, off-the-reccrd
speeches made in the course OF
observance of Pan-American day.
The president, in extemporane-
Gus remarks before the board OF
governors of the Pan-American
union, pledged this country's
good faith in her foreign policies,
while Hull, speaking before the
Pan-American society, cited cha
os and anarchy abroad as reasons
why international relationships
must not be repudiated. :,
Last night, in prepared
speech, Hull called attention to
achievements of the Pan-Union
peace conference at Bucnos Aires
last fall and coupled with his re-
marks a stern warning that peace
machinery must be found for the
entire world.
ARMED forces he said, can
be no permanent substitute for
the security that rests upon trust
and observance of international
rules Of peace and good order.
The resort to ever increasing ar
maments cannot bring ultimate
security; their very accumulation
constantly breeds terror and anX-
] iety rather than a sense of safe
ty. 1t wastes productive energies
/ by which ordinary life could be
improved. 1t leaves the small, or
unarmed, states at the mercy OF
the reckless and powerful.
"Since these things are so, all
the greater is the significance of
the determination of the Ameri-
can republics to look to the rules
of international law and trust for
safety and avoid the perilous cx-
tremcS of competitive armament.
1t is uncomfortable that civilized
nations of the world everywhere
will long delay action of the same
kind"
Hull said that Improvement in
international trade foreShadows
an increasingly beneficial period,
provided the nations of the world
allow the fullest potentialities Of
these developments to be realized
by pursuing liberal and mutually
profitable trade policies. At the
same time, he said, "the UMPIRE
dictable nature of the news forces
at work would make complaccncy
both inappropriate and danger

"Whethcr we like it or not" he
continued, 1--WE live in an age of
political and social turmoil. Omi-
nous storm clouds overhang manv
parts of the world. We must con-

these ends. our road is not
an easy one; it is best with every

In his early speech Hull said
that he hoped the society would

peace.
