Hull Says Aiming
Is Only Way 10 Keep
War From u. ).
Must Turn to Defense
Until KeIIoes-Briund Pact
Prevails Again. He Says

Aiming To the limit in vigorous"
preparation for self-defense is the
only way for the United States to
keep war away from its shores until
principles of the Kellogg BRAND
pact prevail again. Secretary Of
State Hull declared on the 18th
anniversary of the signing of the
treaty to outlaw war.
Because some nations have vio-
lated the pact by invading other
countries, mo human being any
where can be sure that he or she
will be allowed for long to live in
peace" the Secretary said in for
NAL statement issued last night.
Warning that to-day no country
and no individual is secure against
the destructive effects of the ex-
listing armed conflicts" he said that
only by vigorous and adequate prep
aration for self-defense can any
country, including our own, hope to
remain at peace"
Defends Trade Agreements.
Secretary Hull also defended his
reciprocal trade agreements program
against criticism by Senator McNary.
the Republican vice presidential
nominee. He expressed disappoint-
ment that Senator McNary. instead
OF dealing with existing acute prob
lens and conditions in a modern
lied and constructive manner, which
is so urgently demanded, compla-
Gently falls back on antiquated and
discredited economic nostrums, such
as the theory that the farmers can
be saved by embargo tariffs"
In recalling that the Kellogg
BRAND pact was signed II years ago
yesterday, the Secretary emphasized
that its purpose was to spare the
human race the untold suffering and
Undesirable tragedy of the kind
we are witnessing today.
The soundneSs of its underlying
principles" he added. has in no
way been impaired by what has
taken place since then.
Foundation of Relations.
Sooner or later they must prevail
as an unsuitable foundation OF
international relations unless war
with its horrors and ravages Is to
become the normal state of the
world and mankind is to relapse into
the chaos of barbarism.
And / am certain that there are
in the human race resources of mind
and spirit sufficient to insure that
these same bases of civilized exist
ence will become firmly established.
In the meantime, Mr.. Hull de.
clared, every peace-loving country
finds itself forced to arm as speed
lily as possible and to the utmost
of its capacity in preparation for
self-defense-toward preserving its
own security by preventing war from
reaching and crossing its bound
aries
Describing the reciprocal trade
policy as the only alternative to
autarchy, the Secretary said it need
ed no defense. He charged that
Senator McNary had used "mislead-
ing figures" in discussing effects Of
the program on farmers.
