~ UoTING Confucius to the
effect that conduct must be
regulated by circumstances
and circumstances alter
ceases" DR.. Stanley K. Hornbeck OF
the State Department last night ex-
planned to members OF the Business
and Professional Women's Club at
their annual banquet at the Raleigh
Hotel the apparent inconsistency Of
an increase in arms by the United
States which he said is "a peace
loving Nation"
National adequacy is not always
the same" he said. Needs in dis
aming world are less than in one
arming for warfare We stand ready
TO limit armament by mutual accord
among nations but q reasonable pro-
gram Of armament contributes to the
maintenance of peace"
Blaming much Of the present state
Of mind on the part Of the American
people on the belief in catch words
and befuddled thinking DR.. Hornbeck
said there was less war talk in Europe
than in this country. There have
been incidents in recent years that
might have provoked wars but the
nations do not have the will to war. A
nation must believe 1t will win and
will profit through war before it Is
willing to undertake one"
