Protector for Women

Every day, women are finding the
headaches, nervousness, eramp-like
pain Of functional dysmcnorvhea due
TO malnutrition are relieved by
CARDUI. 1t usually increases APP
petite, livens flow of gastric juices
and so improves digestion. Thus il
helps to build resistance to periodic
distress for many. Others find help
for periodic distress by taking
CARDUI a few days before and
during "the time" CARDUI has
been popular for over so years.

Unfortunately It is not possible

Unfortunately 1t is not possible
for me to refer with any meas
ure of satisfaction to the course
of events in the Far East during
these past seven years.
United States Requirements
In Far East Set Forth.
The policy Of this Government
in the Far East has differed in
no way from the policies of this
country in relation to other re-
gions Of the world. 1t Is true, Of
course, that the problems which
have arisen in our relations with
the countries Of the Far East
have had certain peculiarities
because Of the earlier rights of
extra-territorial jurisdiction ac-
corded to the nationals Of occi-
dental powers, along with vari-
GUS other special procedures
adopted with special reference to
special situations, but as situa-
tions have changed the United
States has by processes of nego-
tiation and agreement voluntarily
assented to the alteration and
removal Of these special features.
From time to time the nations
directly interested in the Far East
have entered into treaties and
international agreements which
have created a network Of COM
mon interests, as well as common
responsibilities and obligations.
In essence the primary re-
quirements of the United States
in the Far East may be thus SIM
ply set forth: Complete respect
by all powers for the legitimate
rights of the United States and
Of its nationals as stipulated by
existing treaties or as provided
by the generally accepted tenets
of international law; equality of
opportunity for the trade of all
nations: and, finally, respect for
those international agreements
or treaties concerning the Far
East to which the United States
Is a party, although with the ex-
pressed understanding that the
United States is always willing
to consider the peaceful negotia-
ton of such notifications or
changes in these agreements or
treaties as may in the judgment
OF the signatories be considered
necessary in the light of changed
conditions.
The government of Japan. how
ever. has declared that it intends
to create new order in Asia"
In this endeavor it has relied
upon the instrumentality of
armed force, and it has made it
very clear that it intends that 1t
alone shall decide to what extent
the historic interests of the
United States and the treaty
rights of American citizens in
the Far East are to be observed.
AS We here we'll know, many
hundreds of incidents have oc-
CURED as a result of which the
rights of this country and the
rights of our nationals have been
violated.
Peaceful Settlement
Possible il Desired.
On April Is Of this year, as a
result of developments in the
Evening star., 1940-09-29

shores, and which they regard
as Of primary utility to them in
their normal relations, free from
the commission Of hostile acts.
Second, the creation Of the
ter-American Neutrality Com
mittee which is in permanent
session in Rio de Janeiro in
order to study the problems Of
neutrality and to formulate rec
concentrations with . view to CO.
ordinating action among the
American republics.
And third, the creation of the
Inter-American Financial and
Economic Advisory Committee
which has been in session in
Washington since November Is,
1899, and to which have been
submitted for study and recon-
mendation q wide range Of
problems in the fields of bank
ing. shipping. customs procedure
and broad programs of economic
development.
Action at Havana
On European Colonies.
In July, 1910, there was held
at Havana the second consulta-
tive meeting Once more con-
crete measures were adopted to
enable the American nations to
cope effectively with new prob
lens. Resolutions were adopted
looking toward joint action
through coordination Of police
activity in the combating Of
subversive foreign influences,
and in the economic field, the
Inter-American Committee at
Washington was charged with
additional responsibilities pri-
marily with respect to the grave
problems Of surplus commodities
brought about by the disruption
Of normal markets.
At the same time the act of
Havana was approved providing
for the assumption of joint pro-
visional responsibilities with re-
spect to European colonies in
the Western Hemisphere in the
event that a change of SOW
ereignty of these colonies should
threaten as result of the Eu-
ropean conflict.
Today, the governments of all
the American republics are CO.
operating as one in the search
for remedies for their common
problems. and with a full and
reciprocal recognition of their
several needs and requirements.
They are as one in their de-
termination to preserve their
domestic institutions, their an
cient liberties, and their inde-
pendence and integrity, but
more than that. they recognize
today that the strength of every
one Of them is vastly enhanced
by the combined strength of
the rest.
Speaking from the standpoint
OF a citizen of the United States,
can conceive Of no greater safe
guard to the national defense of
the United States than the real
ization. on our part that we pos
sess the sympathy, the trust and
the cooperation of our neigh
bors OF the New World.

grievances at the council table;
that weapons of defense gave the
only safety from any highly
armed nation which insists on
policies Of force; that we had
learned that survival cannot be
guaranteed by arming after the
attack begins. One week later
the President submitted to Con-
gress the program required by
the necessities of defense.
Increases in Defense
Measures This Year.
With the outbreak Of war in
Europe in September, 1899, the
President increased the strength
of the Army and Navy within
statutory authorizations. In jan
uary. 1910. he submitted a budget
to the Congress which included
estimates for the national de-
Tense, amounting to approxi-
mately $4,000, ,00O, 900, for the fis-
cal year 1941. On May 16 of this
year he asked of the Congress,
and the Congress approved, a
tremendous increase in appro-
priations for the national de-
fense. And. subsequently re-
quests have been made to bring
our defense forces to a point
capable Of meeting any emer-
gency.
The recent agreement with
Great Britain for a chain Of
naval and air bases extending
from Newfoundland to the South
American Continent, and the
agreement with Canada on de-
tense, are OF immeasurable as
siStance in providing effectively
for the defense of the Americas.
From this brief summary I
think you will agree that the
administration has been fully
aware Of the dangers in the in
ternational situation, that it has
Informed the country thereof,
and that through the years it
has been vigilant in preparing
our national defense against any
possible threats to our security.
To serve that program of de-
tense, a far-reaching effort is
being carried forward to acquire
adequate supplies of all essen
tial and critical materials, and
we are keeping under close su-
pervlsion the export of all Amer
lean products that we may need
for an emergency.
I reviewing the ever-increas-
ingly tragic history of the inter-
national relations of the past
seven years. there is just one
bright picture of constructive
achievement that stands out. I
refer. of course, to the recent his
tory Of the relations between the
2l American republics.
Importance of Better
New World Relations.
I doubt whether the people of
the United States even remotely
appreciate the vast changes
which these past seven years have
brought about in the relations
between the United States and its
neighbors in the New World. A
short eight years ago, it is an
understatement to assert, suspi-
cion of the motives of the United
States existed throughout the
major portion of the continent.
Where open resentment did not
exist because of some act of high
handed intervention on the part
of this Government, or hostility
smolder because of the assertion
by this country of its power to
dictate, there existed at least in
many quarters, very natural
resentment because OF our insis-
