Cardenas Propou,ds Doctrine
For International Relations
AdUOcates Has,ds.Otf
Policy IL, Internal
Affairs.
BY DUNCAN AIKMAN,
Correspnndent of New York Post,


MEDELLIN, Colombia. April 26.-
President LaZaro Cardenas Of Mexico,
in an exclusive statement to the
writer. has propounded new Car
denas doctrine of economic democracy
in international relations.
The general effect Of President
Cardenas' contention is that demo-
cratic institutions are endangered by
foreign capitalists seeking to defend
special concessions and extraordinary
privileges abroad, both in the country
where capital is invested and in the
country of its origin.
President Cardenas also intimated
that governments maintaining the
traditional imperialist attitude in sup
port of the rights of investors abroad,
regardless of the character of domes-
tic institutions, will find impossible
the maintenance of democratic prin-
ciples in diplomatic policies and in
ternational relations.
President Cardenas explained his
position in answering series Of ques-
tions which I submitted to him in
Mexico City several days ago. The
answers were transmitted to me here
in Medellin.
Implies Inconsistency.
President Cardenas did not specifi-
cally mention the Mexican oil con-
troversy, the Roosevelt good neighbor
policy, or the British diplomatic de-
mand for the return of appropriated
British oil concessions
But his answers contained the i'm
plication that in his opinion there is
an inconsistency between the appeals
by British and American Governments
for cooperation among the democratic
powers and their insistence on the
pound of flesh" rights of their cap
italists abroad
President Cardenas answered the
questions of this correspondent after
long and careful consideration. The
policy he enunciated in his answers is
significant because Of the difficulties
he has been experiencing in his oil
and silver negotiations with the
United States and the British diplo-
matte pressure for return Of oil lands
to British interests.

CITIZENS URGED
TO CAST BALLOTS
Straw Vote of Forest Hills
Association Is Held
Disappointment.

Presiding at special meeting of
the Forest Hills Citizens Association
held last night at the Ben Murch
School, L. A. Carruthers, president
Of the association and also president
Of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, made a final plea that
members of his organization cast their
ballots Saturday in the city-wide
plebiscite to test Washington's senti-
ment on national and municipal suf-
frage for the District of Columbia.
First returns on the preliminary
straw vote that was taken within the
Forest Hills area revealed that vast
majority favors national representa-
ton but that only a slight majority
favors municipal suffrage. On repre-
sentation Al voted the affirmative.
with 10 opposed, while 80 were for
municipal suffrage as against 26 op-
posed.
Hits Poor Response.
Citing the poor response to the as
eociation's preliminary vote as a dis
appointment and evidence of lack of
civic and national pride Mr.. Car
ruthers emphasized that "citizens are
not justified in assuming that if you
do not vote you imply that you are
indifferent or opposed to either form
of suffrage"
Mr.. Carruthers restated his desire
for both forms of suffrage in the
District. Most of our fears are base
less" he said. ITO continue passively
under our present form of city gov
ernment because we fear corruption
under any other form would be a
frank admission that we consider our
selves incompetent to select proper
persons to head our local govern
ment"
Recommends Commission Form.
Mr. Carruthers recommended the
city management-co commission govern
ment as the form suitable for any
large city.
Brief comments were made by E. c.
Porter, chairman of the Forest Hills
Suffrage Committee; George Esch, E.
L. Springer. j. Sanders. c. A. Bur-
meister and Maj. c. M. Exley. All
favored national representation but
were skeptical on local self-govern-
ment
A special suffrage meeting Will be
held tonight at Woodrow Wilson High
School at 8 o'clock, when final plans
will be made for the handling of the
Saturday plebiscite in the Chevy Chase
and Forest Hills areas.
