President Roosevelt, in winning
the Oregon preference primary over
Vice President Garner and third

lima, ran his convention delegate
strength to within As votes of a
majority for denomination.
Oregon's 10 convention votes and
North Carolina's 26, added to a pre-

nomination a mathematical Ger

entered in the preference voting
party chiefs said the States dele
CATION would be pledged to him.
The Presidents Oregon victory
gave him a clean sweep of primary
contests with Mr.. Garner. He had
won previously in Wisconsin, Illi-
nois and Nebraska in the only pri-
mary battles where the Texan was
challenger, although he lost three
of Wisconsin's 24-man delegation.
Voters Oppose Power Plan.
Although Oregon Democrats rec
commended Mr.. Roosevelt for third
term. a big portion of the State
decided against a New Deal-created
lssue-the public distribution of
Bonneville Dam Federal power.
The President swept past Mr.. Gar
ner. In 1901 precincts out of 1893,
he received 5O,697 against Mr.. Gar

Portland rejected, together with
at least three out of five counties,
efforts to create peoples utility dis

turned down the program. A slight
trend in favor of the plan was
shown in Washington County.
Senate Minority Leader McNary,

Wheat tumbled more than 40 cents

While market authorities attrib-

was that the 1889 loan program,
with its price-sustaining effects, had
expired.
Intensification of the German war
drive also was credited with adding

NEWPORT, r. l., May 1S.-Rear
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, U. s. ~,
retired, declared today that America
should keep out Of war until she is
assured that her men and money
will be spent to a far better end
than in 1918"
The people Of this country" he
said in a prepared address before the
graduating class of the Naval War
College, "are still painfully aware Of
the result of the last World War,
when We sent 100000 men abroad
and spent 80 or more billions of dol
lars to make the world safe for de-
mocracy; then at the end witnessed
a relapse of the high ideals and a
resumption Of the old selfish, ma
tionalistic policies that planted the
seeds of future war.

that they will be spent to a far bet

any nation" he admonished, until
that nation unreservedly pledges it.
self to support a treaty of peace
that will be fair to all and will be
Of some value in discouraging in
the future the use of war as an in
strument of national policy"
In the event, however, the United
States should reach the end of its
endurance, Admiral Yarnell said
the war should be made purely q
naval war" and no troops should be
sent beyond the limits of the con-
tinental United States.
"The Atlantic Ocean still remains
q large body Of water and the prob
ability of plane attack from over
seas on this country will remain
remote for some time to come" he
asserted. Command Of the sea Is
and will remain the primary factor
In our plan Of national defense and
as long as We have 1t we are safe
from successful enemy invasion.
Bear firmly in mind that sea-
power defeated Napoleon and it
will be seapower, today and tomor-
row, that will prevent another die
tator who lacks it from acquiring
domination"

MONTEVIDEO. Uruguay, May
18-The United States and the 20
other American republics have gone
on record with an official denuncia-
ton of Nazi Germany's invasions of
neutral countries.
Uruguay drafted the declaration.
It was sent to all the other repub-
lies by Foreign Minister Alberto
GUAM and last night Chile and
Nicaragua sent in unreserved ap-
prevails to make it unanimous.
Montevideo had a man-in-the-
street manifestation of the coun-
try's sentiment when demonstrators
marched through the streets. last
night, shouting, Down with Nazi-
ism! Down with Hitler!'
German Owned Cafe Stoned. :
Several mounted police were hurt
by stones when they sought to dis
perse the demonstrators. Several
shots were fired into the air. A
German-owned cafe was stoned.
In Buenos Aires, at about the
same time, there was an anti-allied
demonstration.
German sympathizers shouted,
"Down with England" Down with
France" -Four noise bombs were
exploded, doing negligible damage
to the tracks of the British-owned
street car company.
Police said the demonstrations in
the Argentine capital were by ma
tionalist elements" demanding the
resignation of Foreign Minister Jose
Maria Cantilo, who has advocated
abandonment of American
neutrality for "non-belligerency."
Guani said the attitude of the
United States was one of 'unre-
served adhesion" to the text of the
Uruguayan protest, without ad-
mendments or additions.
Minor Objection Withdrawn.
Argentina, Paraguay and Colom-
bia, who with all the other American
Republics are cooperating in the
neutrality system instituted by the
Panama Pan-American Conference,
Withdrew minor objections to the
Uruguay declaration.
Chile announced her readiness to
convene with the other American
governments to study all means
designed to reinforce and make
more effective the security of the
nations of this hemisphere"
The text of the protest declaration
was to be released at Panama this
afternoon.
Panama, meantime, began a
