What's the use to push, when you
can drive? seems to be Jim Farley's
line of reasoning at the present time.
Jim's manipulations and actions in
recent weeks seem to point toward
presidential aspirations and away
from the left wing tendencies of his

he is definitely in the presidential

PARIS, Dec. 27. iUP)-The
Socialist party, the largest in
France, last night approved by a
heavy majority a motion by for
mer Premier Leon Blum calling
for formation of bloc of demo-
cratic countries comprising Eu-
ropes democracies, Soviet Russia
and the United States to oppose
Germany, Italy and Japan.
The vote was 1922 to 1887
with 1,004 abstaining.
Blum's motion was opposed by
Paul Faure, secretary-general OF
the party, who made counter
proposal based in effect on en-
dorsement of the Munich pact and
the principle that peace should be
maintained at any price.
Blum urged that ii was useless
to make concessions to the totaIi-
tartan states because it would not
assure peace, that France must be
strong and that the peace bloc be
composed of the European democ-
racies, the United States and the
Soviet Union.
The declaration drafted by
Blum would commit the French

aggression or enterprises threat

darity signed after many days OF
disputes, planned to sail for home
tomorrow.
The conference of q American
republics whose. achievements are
limited is still regarded increas-
ingly by observers as a triumph
for the policies of U. S. Secretary
of State Cordell Hull.
The parley is scheduled to ad-
iourn after the several declara-
tions, all translated into the four
official languages of the new
world - Spanish, English, Portu-
guese and French-are formally
signed.
Among the declarations given
unanimous backing by the confer
ence are the solidarity of the
American nations against foreign
armed or political aggression,
known as "The Declaration of III
ma" the declaration pledging VI
the republics to do everything
possible to lower their tariff bar
riers, and finally, but not by any
means the least important, the
Declaration of American Prin-
ciples."
The latter, which denounces
the use of force as an instrument
of national or international pol
icy and proclaims as "inadmiss-
ible" intervention in the internal
or external affairs of any coun-
try, was approved late Saturday
night by the final plenary ses-
sion. 1t was not until the official
text of the declaration was re-
leased that its full Importance
was realized.
The declaration constitutes
practically a summary of a policy
which Hull proclaimed for the
United States on July 16, 1887.
The policy, which was widely en-
dorsed, was outlined on the &C.
casion of a call Hull made for
world peace, directed by implica-
ton to China and Japan al
though neither of those two ma
tions was named.
The declaration, as approved
unanimously by the conference,
proclaims that:
l. The Intervention of any
state in the internal or external
affairs of another is inadmissible.
2. All differences of interna-
tional character should be settled
by peaceful means.
8. The use of force as an in
strument of national or interna-
tional policy is prescribed.
4. Relations between states
should be governed by the pre-
cepts of international law.
5. Respect for and the faithful
observance of treaties constitutes
the indispensable rule for the de-
velopment of peaceful relations
