He explained that the memor- ial in question, apparently was in- tended as a temporary one be- cause it is made of wood. The de- partment painted it last year but beyond making repairs, can go to no expense in the matter of erecting new memorial.
 The park department official recommended that the veterans campaign for permanent monu- ment, such as most other cities have, and suggested that the tri- angle in front of the railroad sta- tion seemed an ideal place for such a memorial.

to the challenge to international an
archy made by Secretary Hull in his
declaration Of July Is. 1897, to which
81 governments in all parts Of the
world replied.
Now what precisely did Secretary
Hull advocate in this declaration? This
IL important because here, rather than
In irresponsible fulminations which
occasionally arise, is the true founda-
ton OF American policy. First, Sec
retary Hull advocated national and
international self-restraint as well as
the reWtalization Of international law
and. in his opinion, these aims could
best be achieved by abstentton from
the use Of force and from interfer-
ence-note that now-from interfer-
ence in the internal Affairs of other
nations, and by the adjustment of
problems of international relations
through peaceful negotiation and
agreement. Secondly, he favored steps
toward the promotion Of economic Sc
curity and stability all over the world,
Thirdly. while recognizing the neces-
sity for maintaining armed forces suf-
ficient to assure national security, he
upheld the principle OF proportional
armament. or. in other words, that
armaments might be limited and re-
duced by international agreement ac-
cording to the actions Of the other
governments directly concerned. In
his conclusion Secretary Hull made it
abundantly clear that this country was

added, "the principles Of the Prince
Of Peace must be restored. Shattered

what the President has said on va

with me that there Is no ground what
ever upon which to base an opinion
that the President seeks to involve this
Nation in aggressive warfare.
Hull Speech Impressive.
The foreign policy of this Govern
ment has been stated and reiterated
repeatedly by the Secretary of State,
the Hon. Cordell Hull. Any one who
heard or who has read the great speech
made by Secretary Hull last Thursday
over the radio here in Washington on
an international hook-up cannot but
fail to understand. If he SO desires
what our foreign policies are. He dis
cussed thoroughly every phase of this
question, and what he said at that time
was merely bringing together, with
more elaboration, what he has here

and speeches. AS evidence of that

Gangsterism Opposed.
I believe I can state, without fear Of
correction, that Secretary Hull was
motivated IN defining . system Of con.
duct between nations BY the profound
conviction that where there il inter.

tarism and gangsterism, democracy
does not thrive. In his own words.

September 10, 1887, Secretary Hull
said:
I'VE must make our contribution
toward the realization Of the condi-
tions upon which peace everywhere
can be maintained or ultimately we
shall have to sustain and protect
ourselves amidst an outside world
ridden by war and force. -" Is /,

become seriously jeopardized?"

and consistently advocates mainte-

confidence, and on united effort in
the solution Of problems of common
concern"
The President and the Secretary Of
state have given q practical demon
stration OF what they mean IN the
good neighbor relations which they
nave sponsored between this country
ana the countries Of Latin America
ana between the countries Of Latin
America themselves.
Good Conduct Basic Ideal.
Too, other principles set out by
Secretary Hull had to do with inter-
national self-restraint and the revital-
izing OF international law. In short.
1t is unmistakably the belief of the
present administration that the con-
duct which makes for good neighborly
relations between individuals in
community makes for good neighborly
relations between states in the inter-
| national community.
In this regard, Secretary Hull ex-
planned in an address on September /,
1887, using the following words:
Reduced to elemental terms, inter-
national problems bear a striking
analogy to the private relationships of
. group Of human beings. There are
the same instances of altruism and
selfishness. Of complacency and jeal-
ousy, OF good nature and backbiting
that we find in any normal community
