NATION Warned
BY PRESIDENT
TO STAY ARMED.
u. S. to Enforce Monroe
Doctrine He Says
By GEORGE DURNO

1.NS.) AS 1885 Navy Day
dawned. President Roosevelt was
on record today with the blunt
statement, that while neighbor
nations arm to the teeth we our
selves must continue to arm"
The American Navy maneuVered
and celebrated October 81 as the
birthday of Theodore Roosevelt.
ct. RS" successor. Franklin d.
Roosevelt-who was Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy during the
World War-continued his appeal
for world peace, but most obviously
disapproved the acquisition Of
new territories or new controls"
by European dictatorates. and at
the same time served notice the
United States was still enforcing
the Monroe Doctrine.
PREPAREDNESS DEMANDED
While the fleet and all naval
bases went on parade, Mr.. RooSe-
velt advised the nation that until
there is general abandonment oil
weapons capable of aggression,
ordinary rules of national pru-
dence and common sense require
that we be prepared"
There was another most definite
statement in the radio speech the
President delivered on the eve OF
"Navy Day" when he said we
are determined to use every en-
deayor in order that the Western
Hemisphere may work out its own
fnterrelated salvation. in the light
Of its own interrelated expert
ence."
REPLIES TO CRITICS
Finally, the President leveled a
finger at opponents OF the Ad11ln-
istxation plan to heavily reinforce
both the Navy and the Army by
saying:
Free discussion is most gen.
orally useful when it is re-
strained and relates to facts. 1t
Is not useful to suggest either to
the American people or to the
peoples of other nations that
the American Government. its
policies, its practices and its
servants are actuated by mo-
tiveS of dishonor or corruption.
To do so is, of necessity, an at
tack on the American system
Of constitutional representative
government itself"
MINcES NO WORDS
The President laid down the
fundamentals of his AdminlStra-
tien's foreign policy in five brief
and pointed paragraphs, as fol-
lows:
'It is becoming increasingly
clear that peace by fear has no
higher or more enduring quality
than peace by the sword.
There can be no peace if the
reign of law is to be replaced
by q recurrent sanctification of
sheer force.
There can be no peace if ma
tional policy adopts as delib-
crate instrument the threat Of
war.
FLAYS PERSECUTION
"There can be no peace if ma
tional policy adopts as deliber-
ate instrument the dispersion
all over the world Of millions
Of helpless and prosecuted wan
derers, with no place to lay their
heads.
There can be no peace if
humble men and women are not
free to think their own
thoughts, to express their own
feelings, to worship God.'
In his reference to prosecuted
wanderers" and lack of freedom of
worship. 1t was plain Mr.. Roose-
welt was protesting against the
concerted action in Europe against
the Jewish race.

in favor of Japanese interests any
general superiority Of rights with
regard to commercial or economic
development in any region OF
China.
. Discontinuance of interference
y by Japanese authorities in
China with American property
and other rights including such
forms of interference as censor
ship Of American mail and tele
grams, and restrictions upon resi-
dence and travel by Americans
and upon American trade and
shipping.
Rights Ignored
Japan, the note accused, has
continued to ignore A eric n
rights and has interfered with it,
interests progressively as more
areas of China have been occu
pied by its army, despite constant
assurances by the Japanese gov
ernment that such was not being
done.
Illustrative of this, Japan was
reminded that after japanese wal
planes bombed and sunk thI
American gunboat Panay, anC
brought the United States cioSC
to war. Japan promised to take
steps to assure that no more at
tackS would occur on Americans
nor would their rights be trampleC
upon in any manner at any time
in the future.
"The japanese government
has given categorical assurances
that equality Of opportunity, or
! the open door in China, will be
maintained, the note stated.
THE Government of the
United States is constrained to
observe, however, that notwith-
standing the assurances Of the
japanese government in this
regard violations by japanese
agencies of American rights
and interests have persisted"
Cites Manchuri0
Japan was reminded that WheI
it's troops invaded Manchuria
then a part of China, in 1913:
assurances were given that thC
open door would be maintained
but that instead "the principa
economic activities have beer
taken over by special companie
which are controlled by Japanesl
nationals and which are eStah
lished under special charters &C
cording them a preferred and eE
elusive position"
AS the result, the note asserted
"a large part Of American enter
prise which formerly operated il
Manchuria has been forced t.
withdraw as a result of the PREF
erenceS in force there"
I'm the opinion of my Gov
eminent" the note charged,
equality of opportunity or the
open door has virtually ceased
to exist in Manchuria notwith-
standing the assurances of the
Japanese government that it

Methods Barred

Japan was further accused OF
censorship and interference with
American mails and cables and OF
preventing Americans from return,
ing to their homes and places OF
business in the Yangtze valley
although japanese businesses are
allowed freely to operate in long
pacified areas.
The note reveals one broad
phase of how Japan operates the
squeeze, as follows:
1.-The government Of the
United States now learns that
the japanese authorities at
Tsingtao have in effect eStab-
lished an exchange control.
that they are exercising a dis
cretionary authority to prohibit
exports unless export bills are
sold to the Yokohama Specie
Bank, and that the bank refuses
to purchase export bills except
at an arbitrary rate far lower
than the open market rate pre-
vailing at TientSin and Shang-
hal"

would be maintained in that
area"
Japan was told the United
States lis now apprehensive lest
there develop in other areas OF
China which have been occupied
by japanese military forces, a sit
uation similar in its adverse effect
upon the competitive position Of
American business to that which
now exists in Manchuria.
The note then openly accused
Japan of loying these
squeeze" tactics in North China
at Tsingtao and Chefoo, through
exchange control and establish
ment of telegraph and telephone
companies controlled by the pup
pet regime at Peiping.
