Hoover Says War Aim
Is 'ALasting Peace;
Urges New Approach
Former President Tells
Iowa Legislature Nation
Is United in Purpose
By the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, March Is.

DES MONIES, Iowa, March is.
Former President Herbert
Hoover told a joint session of the
Iowa Legislature today that "the
purpose Of this war, the most
terrible Of three centuries, is to
make a lasting peace"
The native Iowan said that Ameri-
cans, regardless of past views or po-
lltical groups, are united in single
purpose to win the war and build
"a re-World where we can hope to
live in peace"
Declaring that military victory
alone will not give peace, Mr.. Hoover
said that If we are to do a better Job
OF peace making this time it will be
because of a better public UNDER
standing of the problems and bet
ter preparedness to meet them"
Then he added, And we must be-
gin to think of these problems on q
far larger frame than ever before" !"
New Approach Needed.
Pointing out the failure to reach
lasting peace throughout the CEN
turieS. the former President sug-
eested that I'VE need a new ap-
proach," and then offered his con-
ception Of the new approaches
Il believe the new approach lies
in a reach into the dynamic forces
which have built these crises. These
destructive forces can be grouped
into six categories.
These are ideologies, economic
pressureS, excessive nationalism
militarism, imperialism and the COM
plexeS Of fear, hate and revenge.
The destruction Of peace from these
sources must be stopped or auayed
IN the first part of treaty making.
That is by the settlement Of political
territorial, economic and theological
questions"
Mr.. Hoover said that if these
dynamic forces are successfully met
1t means peace. If there is failure
TO meet them it means renewed
war"
NO superstructure of leagues.
councils, federations or what-not
can endure unless these founda
tions are first built" he said.
Versailles Stimulated Militarism.
Declaring the Treaty of Versailles
stimulated excessive militarism, the
former President said the one
answer to militarism is disarma-
ment.
Listing the attempt to punish the
people instead of their leaders as
another failure. Mr.. Hoover said
There is the personal responsibility
IN heads of States and their asso-
ciates for violations of treaties and
agreements entered into with free
Will. Too long it has been assumed
that there is something sacred about
the heads Of States who project or
| provoke war
victory with vengeance is ulti-
mate defeat in the modern world
We can have peace or We can have
revenge, but we cannot have both, y
Mr.. Hoover declared.
Another great lesson from Yer
sallles IS that during a long period
While the world is emerging from
war to stable peace. the forces of dis
lntegratlon or renewed aggression
must be kept down by military force
And the United Nations will need
stand on guard--and not, as after
Versailles. dlSlntegrate among them.

GHoud to Repudiote
All Vichy Influence

ALGIERS, March Is (P.-Gen
Henri Giraud, after offering to meet
Gen. Charles de Gaulle half way IN
union that must be effected
among all anti-AXis Frenchmen
fighting for a rebirth of the French
Republic. today drafted a series of
DEGREES repudiating the last vestiges
of Vichy influence in North and
West Africa.
In a Casablanca conference after
math, the civil and military COM
mander in chief also disclosed that
he was welding striking force of
100000 men equipped with Ameri-
can weapons and solemnly promised
the people of his conquered home
land that their sacred rights to
choose a provisional government
themselves will be fully safe
guarded"
Gen. Giraud did not mention Gen.
de Gaulle by name, but he implied
in a speech last night that he and
Gen. de Gaulle could work out a
form of mutual trusteeship pending
the day of victory when their freed
peoples could choose their own lead
ers by ballot according to the rules
OF the French Republic"
Embraces Atlantic Charter.
Gen. Giraud embraced the prin-
ciples of the Atlantic Charter and
promised to abolish all Vichy legis-
lstion-particularly the anti-Jewish
decrees-to restore democratic flinc-
tons in North Africa. including the
election Of municipal assemblies and
consuls general, and to eliminate
all Axis influences whether meas
ures or men"
The first formal DEGREES are ex-
pected to be published in the next
few days.
Il wish with all my heart the
union of all of us" Gen. Giraud
said. The union must be effected.
That union is Indispensable I should
like to cooperate with all those who
accept the traditional principles (of
the French Republic"
Gen. Giraud's promise to elm
mate measures or men" deemed in
furious to the Allied war effort was
interpreted by some to mean that
Gen. Jean Marie Bergeret and Gen.
Auguste Nogues, two members of
Gen. Giraud's War Committee
would be jettisoned.
Catroux Expected Soon.
These two men were not present
at the opera house where Gen.
Giraud addressed a rally protesting
the German annexation of Alsace
and Lorraine. The fighting French
have pronounced them pro-Vichy
and demanded that they be ousted.
A fighting French delegation
headed by Gen. Georges Catroux is
expected in Algiers shortly, and
some observers believe this will speed
negotiations to join the two French
groups.
Gen. Giraud spoke from a stage
draped with the French, United
States and British flags. and was
f1anked by Robert Murphy and
Harold Macmillan, the American
and British Ministers; Marcel Pey-
routon and Gen. Pierce Boisson
Governor of West Africa.

the President has played very little

People refuse to take it seriously

this war for us. Neither is England

There are many women and old
