MEXICO CITY, April |.
(UP)-The Mexican govern
ment and foreign petroleum
brokers were reported today
to be negotiating over the
sale of Mexican oil at "cut rates"
in one phase of President Lazaro
Cardenas efforts to solve the crisis
precipitated by the appropriation of
the foreign oil industry.
Officials refused to discuss reports
that Cardenas had reached an
agreement lin principle" with two
American oil promoters. Francis w.
Rickett. who negotiated an Ethiopi-
an oil concession shortly before the
Italian conquest, and Bernard E.
Smith. New York broker.
Informed observers generally be-
lieved that in the event deal is
worked out the price paid for MeXi-
can oil will be so low that the
profit Of the brokers will be more
than that received by the govern

HOOVER HITS
GUARANTEEING
AGGR ESSORS S
Presidential Aspirations
Believed Reflected
In Address

NEW YORK, Apr. /. (UP)
Suggestions that Herbert
Hoover might aspire to the
presidency in 1910 were
found today in his speech
before the council on foreign rela-
tionS.
The former president. in warning
against alliances with other Demo-
cratic nations, discussed at length
last night his own experience IN
international affairs and defined
his plans for keeping America out
of war
He criticized President Roose-
velt's policy sharply, especially his
now famous Chicago speech about
a Quarantine" on aggresSor ma
,tions. Mr.. Hoover warned that ''if
the world is to keep the peace
it must keep peace with dictator
ships as well as with popular gov
ernmentS."
There was speculation in both
Republican and Democratic circles
today as to whether Mr. Hoover
might have been suggesting that
he was best qualified to direct the
nations affairs after 1910 when
foreign relations will be increas-
ingly important.
The council on foreign relations
which he addressed is fundamen-
tally partisan. Mr.. Hoover was
introduced by Norman H. Davis,
Mr.. Roosevelts ambassador at
large.
Hoover warned against joining
a democratic front of Britain and
France against Fascist dictator
ships.
1--WE should have none of it," he
said. "If the world is to keep the
peace then we must keep peace with
relationships as we'll as popular
governments. The forms of govern
ment which other peoples pass thru
in working out their destines is
not our business
You will recollect we were once
animated by a desire to save the
world for democracy. The only re-
suit that time was to SOW dragon S

Clegg Mentioned C OF Candidate
 Alaska Delegate

JUNEAU, Jan. l9, R-As Republican candidate for Dele gate to Congress-, Judge Cecil H Clegg of Fairbanks is prominent ly mentioned by political leaders in Juneau following the Territor- ial convention of the Republican party last weekend in the capi- tai city.
 There still is evident some fric- tion between the faction which is headed by Al White, former US marshal in the First Division, and which is in control of the machinery of the party, and the anti-White faction, but neverthe- less both factions seem united for Judge Clegg as the party's con gressional candidate.
 Holds Record as Judge
 Judge Clegg was United States district Court Judge in both the Fourth and Third Divisions, and has the record for longer judicial service than any other jurist in Alaska's history. He was prom inent in the practice of law at Nome in the Second Division be- fore moving to Interior Alaska. He has a wide acquaintance in Juneau and other parts of the First Division. He is well known throughout Alaska.
 Would Unite Under Clegg
 In the opinion of republican leaders who attended the recent convention in Juneau. the repub- lican party could be united un- der the congressional candidacy of Judge Clegg. If he should file for delegate, his nomination in the republican primary is deem ed certainty. His opponent in the election, of course, would be Delegate Anthony J. Dimond ,who has announced he will be a can didate for reelection subject to the Democratic primary.

around training in North Pacific waters, instead of confning its visits to the period of sunny sum mer weather.
 Japan has no right to feel that our protection of our own terri tory is hostile gesture.
 The United States many years ago gave up it's right to fortify the Aleutians to gain Japan's ad herence to naval limitations.
 But the treaty covering this bargain has expired. Japan did not want to renew it. And no reason now exists why the Unit ed States should not proceed to sensible protection of its shores.
 The Post,lntelligencer, on mum erous occasions, has pointed out the necessity for peace time op- erations by navy ships and navy planes, in the North Pacific on a year around basis.
 'The fleet maneuvers in the North Pacific, now scheduled for next February, will provide train ing for warship personnel, under the conditions that would be most likely to be met if a hostile fleet should ever seek 10 attack these shores.
 The training of naval flyers at Sitka is an important and grati- flying extension of these defense plans.
 Tt should be followed by pro- vision for permanent naval base, probably in the Aleutians, and the early establishment of an army air base in the interior of Alaska.
