Smaller Countries
Urged to Align

By ROBERT G. NIXON

U.N.SO In a warning to die
tator nations to halt their aggreS,
sive acts, Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull today issued an ominouS
declaration that the world must
choose between peace or a war
which may destroy civilization.
Hull called upon the small and
weaker countries that are threat
ened by the armed might of ag.
gressor nations in Europe and
Asia, to line up with the demo
cratic peace-Seeking powers or be
crushed.
FORCE OR REASON
To the smaller European ma
tions he asserted:
In the circumstances which
prevail in the world today, no
nation and no government can
avoid participation in determin-
ing which course (force or rea-
SOM will be taken"
The issue, Hull said, is "funda-
mental" and added:
Consciously or unconscious
ly, every country is throwing the
weight of its attitude and action,
positive or negative, toward one
course or the other.
The degree to which each ma
tion will influence the ultimate
decision will depend on the
earnestness with which it es-
pouses and supports the princi-

NatiOnQLists Claim
Gains on 2 Fronts

HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Bor-
der, Aug. II 1.N.S0.-New nation
alist victories on two fronts were
claimed in a Salamanca commu-
nique today as bitter fighting
spread again to the Teruel sector.
Francois troops claimed to have
advanced in the Albarracin sector,
capturing government positions
around Lacebadilla and forcing
their foes to cross to the left
bank of the Tajo River.
At the same time, it was claimed,
extensive "mopping up operations
were carried on along the Estre-
madura front, where government
counter-attacks were repulsed.
Reports from Madrid said ma
tionalist siege guns hammered the
former capital with a violent 90
minute bombardment believed to
have killed and wounded scores.
Heavy damage was caused by g.
inch shells that rocked the cen
ter of the city.
The shelling apparently was in
retaliation for the explosion yes
terday of an underground land
mine planted by government troops
beneath a large building in the
University City area. Hundreds of
nationaliSts were reported killed
pr wounded by the blast.

ONDON, Aug. II UN.SO.
The French and British govern

measures which might aggravatO

aroused by the gigantic German

It is felt by both the British

that the Reich's maneuvers so far

In 1922 he was detailed to the
