MANCHESTER. Tenn, June 2.
The first large-scale peace time
|maneuvers of the expanded Ameri-
can army swing into stride today
as the Second Army begins
month of gruelling problems to
test men and machines.
Encamped throughout the Cum
berland plateau between Chatta-
nooga and Nashville are between
30, 900 and 10000 men OF three full
was strength divisions. Among
these are the Fifth Division regu-
lars. who came 600 miles from
Fort Custer. Mich; the Both DiVi-
sion of National Guardsmen from
the Carolinas and the 9th Divi-
sion of New York GuardSmen.
Fort Clusters 5th Division
reached the games after a nine
day motorized march from Michi-
gan. Important aspect OF the
march was experiences gained IN
moving so large a motorized unit,
using l,400 trucks, command cars
and other vehicles.
Not the least of the problems
was to furnish 2l,000 gallons OF
gasoline a day along the march.
Advance parties each night had
ARRANGED a gasoline dump for
refuelings and not a single vehicle
ran out of gas.

rejected in the name of our sover-
eighty.
Several years back, Mexico
undertook to improve its harbors,
mot only from the point of view
of giving greater facilities for
merchant traffic but also TO make
for greater and more effective
protection Of our territory.
THE gravity of the threat
which the present conflict may
hold for the Americas imposes
upon US an obligation TO organize
the defense of our coasts in such
a way that we shall not be at the
mercy of aHdaeieHs- attack by
belligerents.
If we did not take care of the
safety of our republic. we would
sin against our interests and we
would dangerously weaken the
solidarity of the Pan-American
front. In relation to these neces-
sites we have given special at
tention to improvement of the
Mexican army.
"All these measures naturally
imply no desire on our part to
make war, but constitute an alb
solutely legitimate desire to pre-
pare our country in case OF
aggression and do honor within
the scope of our resources to the
spirit Of cooperation which united
the American nations in a COM
pact barrier for the independence
of our continent.
Works which may be con-
structed in order to perfect our
defense will be made with Mexi-
can materials, under the direction
of Mexican technicianS and in ac-
cord with the plans which Mexico
has worked out for itself in order
to protect our coasts.

There exists no secret treaty
between Mexico and the United
States Of North America.

our country have been duly sub

OUTLINES PRINCIPLES

The line OF conduct which
Mexico has traced for itself is of
unbreakable strength and oriented
by these fundamental principles:
s"Recognition Of democratic
equality of all countries.
Respect for the rights
derived from the sovereignty and
independence Of those countries.
Conviction that peace is
not merely regional or preserved
by local guarantees but based
upon general conditions, indivis-
ible in its consequences and
sustained by the collective secu-
rity of nations.
This peace requires the Subor-
dinating OF personal ambitions OF
each nation to limits defined by

widespread acts of destruction on

violation of specific provisions of
the statutory laws of the United

vessels were enjoying the hospitality
and protection of our ports cannot
be viewed with equanimity. The

Note to Mr.. Thomson.

Note to Mr.. Thomson.
"Sir:
"I am in receipt of your two notes
dated March 81 and April /, 1941,
respectively, regarding the taking of
possession and control of the Ger
man tanker Pauline Friedrich in
the port of Boston and the motor
ship Arauca at Port Everglades and
the removal therefrom of the officers
anG crews.
Il note your allegation that there
is no legal basis in international law
for the action taken and that it
constitutes a violation of the exist
ing Treaty of Friendship, Commerce
and Consular Rights. signed by our
two governments on December 8,
1923. You even go so far as to
request that these vessels be restored
to the unlimited authority of the
captains and that the members of
the crews be placed at liberty i'm
mediately' and allowed to return
to and stay on board their Ships etc.
Il am surprised at these extreme
assertions and demands. In the first
place, you do not state upon what
principle of international law or
upon what provision of the treaty
between our two countries you rely,
and in the second place, you seem
wholly to disregard the plain pro-
visions of our statutes which make
it a felony for the master or any

other person in charge or command
of vessel, foreign or domestic, or
for any member of the crew or other
person, within the territorial waters
of the United States, willfully to
cause or permit the destruction or
injury of such vessel or to tampef
with its motive power or instru-
mentalities of navigation; and which
authorize the authorities of this
Government to take possession and
control of any vessel and to remove
therefrom the officers and crew
when such action is deemed to be
necessary to protect the vessel from
damage or injury or to prevent
damage or injury to any harbor or
waters of the United States.
Il know of no principle of inter-
national. law which permits the
masters or crews of vessels of a
country which have sought refuge
in or entered the ports of another
country to commit acts of destruc-
ton in disregard of local law and of
the hospitality which they have been
permitted to enjoy; nor is there any
provision in the treaty between our
two countries which lends even color
of support to any such argument. 1t
would indeed be unthinkable that
any civilized nation would become a
party to treaty containing any such
provision or that it would subscribe
to any so-called principle of inter-
national law which would permit
foreign vessels to be brought to its
harbors and roadsteads and there
willfully damaged and wrecked in
violation of law and to the detriment
of navigation and even the safety Of
its harbors without restraint or
hindrance by the local sovereign.
On one of the vessels here in
question the auxiliary machinery
was smashed and the main propel-
ling machinery was deliberately
wrecked, and if the scuttling and
burning of ships in other harbors of
this continent may be regarded as
indicative of what might be ex-
pected in our ports, it is difficult to
see how your government could ex-
pect this Government to be oblivious
to the situation presented.
"An inquiry is being made con-
corning other features of your COM
plant and I shall communicate
with you regarding them at a later
date.
Accept, sir, the renewed assur-
ances of my high consideration.

intentions of the Government of
the United States regarding the
ships and their crews, the Ambas-
sador is informed that this matter
is now receiving the attention of the
appropriate authorities of the Gov

the light of the law and the per-
tinent facts.

The instant popularity Of the

is shown by the quick response

Parkersburg, w. Va, the other night,
and he looked the part. But his
left was sharp and with the light
gloves his punches appeared to carry
some authority. Hassett absorbed a
terrific beating around the kidneys
as Conn raised ugly. purple welts
with his battering fists. He also
caught some stinging shots to the
head before the finishing wallop.
HaSsett wore a weeks supply of
blubber around his waist, was slow
on his feet and positively tedious on
the draw, but he tried hard and
gave his best. He simply happens
to be strong and tough, but four
grades under Conn.
Ray publicly vows Conn is the
only man alive who can whip Louis
and freely and confidently predicts
Billy will take the title, but he made
one slip in the conversation that
didn't go unnoticed.

he said, I'VE can come back in

nent and make some money"
The scheduled eight-round semi
final lasted through only l minute

at which juncture dusky Chalky

with a piercing left hook to the pit
of the stomach, knocking him out.
