BUTLER RSEESU.S.
SAFE FROM FOES
Urges, in 5-Point Program,
America Fight Only in
Case of Invasion.

No foreign nation could even land
war forces in the United States, much
less make successful invasion, Mai.
Gen. Smedley D. Butler, U. s. M. c.,
retired, told a session of the Keep
America Out of War Congress at the
Rialto Theater last night.
As proof of this, Gen. Butler pointed
out the length of time it took and
the difficulty the United States had
in landing troops in France. a friendly
nation, during the World War.
Gen. Butler, who led the Marines in
Nicaragua in 1928, presented a five-
point program to keep the United
States out of war. It follows:
Fight no war except in case Of
invasion.
Terms Kept Secret
Refuse to support American
treaties, the terms Of which are
kept secret from the people.
Start an "uproar" to hand con-
troll of foreign relations back to
Congress.
Refuse to use economic boycotts
to starve women and children
Let American concerns doing
business abroad protect their in
terests by insurance not with the
United States Army and Navy.
Hold politicians, not the admirals
and generals, responsible for Amer.
lean foreign policy.
Introduced by Saloman de la Selva,
former head Of the publicity and
propaganda department under Pred-
dent Cardenas Of Mexico, Gen. Butler
forcibly seized the microphone when
Mr.. de Ia Selva said the people Of
Latin America retain bitter hatred
for Smedley Butler"
II was ordered to go into Nicaragua
and I did it," Gen. Butler shouted,
then added 1--WE decided to introduce
myself"
my friend" he said. indicating Mr..
de Ia Selva, "is under the impression
the marines go to these countries vol
unfairly"
Mr.. de Ia Selva praised the United
States recognition of Mexicos right
to appropriate foreign-owned prop
erty, and asked help from the United
States in persuading Great Britain to
adopt the same policy.
The meeting Of the anti-war con-
gress was to be concluded at noon
today.

He has come along, too, in other
ways; informed himself on empire
and international problems and, aided
by hard work, retentive memory and
an ability to think clearly, now adds q
wise voice to any discussion. He is
consulted by his government before
any vital decision.
A family man, with his queen and
two daughters, Princess Elizabeth and
Princess Margaret, and q sportsman
he shoots and swims, plays golf, ten
mis- and cricket, and has put the
royal colors back on the turf. He
started close to the hearts of his home
and sports-loving people.
His understanding and compassion,
evidenced on visits to the "black spots"
OF Wales and to the homes and fac
tories of Yorkshire and his boys camp
at Southwold, have further endeared
him to them.
Proof OF all this progress was given
as March faded and Dowager Queen
Mary revealed she was planning to
cut her public engagements to a
minimum and retire to the back
ground of the official scene.
She believes George and his queen
have been established in the affection
OF their people and hers, and that they
are worthy leaders. Her Judgment
seems confirmed by court advisors an.

field Simpson. for whom Edward VIII
stepped from the throne.
She may be eighth lady OF the

Queen Mother, Princesses Elizabeth
and Margaret. the Princess Royal and
the Duchesses Of Gloucester and Kent.
Or, barred from royal precedence, she
could be twenty-ninth and last on the
list Of duchesses.
There is, however. the possibility
that the problem will be side-stepped
until the Duke and Duchess return to
England. and that George and Eliza

Wallis in France.
But the Duchess place Of prece-

Europe, the envoy said. shouldn't be

Such crises" he said, occur even

filled the need and was granted extra

the great majority in Italy favor the

A peek into John @. Publics pocket
book showed yesterday that the reces,
sion had emptied it of about $780,
100000 in cash in the last year.
Practically all of that amount came
out Of Johns bank account, but about
s20,0O0,000 disappeared from his
pocket change.
Pocket change is the right phrase
too. because it was only the bills from
81 to $50 that declined in circulation
the bigger notes having increased.
For instance, ten-dollar bills de-
clined $32 100000 while one-thousand
dollar bills increased s25.00O.000 The
big notes. Of course. circulate almost
exclusively from one bank to another
and so John wouldn't know about
that. The drop in ones and fives was
only a few millions apiece, but twen-
ties declined 100000.
