In a contest as tight as a new

The Wildcats offense seemed a

they made up in their fiery de-

The Bombers exhibited speedy

Association Expects
Success

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 14-lR-A last
minute burst of activity put trim
med and cleaning Tropical Park
into shape today for tomorrow
nine-race opening of Florida's
third wartime turf season as
watchfuls officials gave subdued
expressions of confidence.
The $2,50o inaugural handicap,
a 6-furlong event for 3-year-olds
and up, its entry list trimmed
to an even two dozen horses, was
split into two divisions with AZ
thoroughbreds in each, and brought
an extra race to the first card
of the To-day horse season, four
days longer than those of the past.
President H. L. Straus of the
Gables Racing Association, point
ing to these facets, declared:
"We've got the horse, the people
are in Miami. and as far as we
can see we should do very well. :"
He gave heed to the gasoline
drought in Florida and the fact
that Tropical Park is two miles
from the nearest bus line by say
ing:
I'VE believe people have ade-
quate "a gasoline to support the
track, and sufficient generosity to
share their cars. Crowds may not
be as large as in the past but there
should be enough patrons to as
sure successful season.
Jack Boylan, admissions direc-
tor, came out with the estimate
of 5000 to 5000 spectators tomor-
row, and packed it up by order
ing sufficient programs for that
many. Last years opening day
throng totaled Sill and they wag-
cred $232,251.

Son of War and Harvard Square

Max Wexler's Dispose, with a
l10-pound handicap, was consid-
cred. the favorite of the second
division Seventh Racel, with Tet-
ra Rock, Meneither and K. Dorko
strong contenders. Dispose won
the 1912 inaugural.

Dickie Meade. brother of the
famed Don, will be seen in silks

Tropical will operate for 20 days,
then give way for Hialeah Park S
50-day season, after which Tropi-
cal resumes for 80 days of rae
ing.
Last winter a ban on pleasure
driving caused Tropical to close
after Is days, during which 81, 100
fans wagered $2,739, 4O1.
i Now motorists get two gallons
of gas a week to use use as they
please. BY doubling up and alter
mating cars, Straus believes, a
goodly number can find the out

wartime.

Four-Power Accord
On Postwar Tasks
Asked by We||es Now
Roosevelt Declared
'SuperbIy Fitted to
State Its Objectives
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Sumner
Welles, calling for a four-power
agreement for a stable postwar
world, declared today that the
time had arrived for the United
States Government to tell it's
people it's objectives for "se-
curity, social progress and pros
perity' in that world.
Il for one cannot subscribe to the
philosophy which some maintain
that a policy cannot be initiated
until after the people themselves
have brought pressure to bear for its
adoption" he said in an address to
the 25th anniversary meeting of the
Foreign Policy Association here. The
talk was carried on Blue Network
hookup.
That philosophy" said Mr.. Welles,
who resigned as Undersecretary of
State last month, would seem the
very negation of the best constitu-
tional tradition in our representa-
tive form of government"
Roosevelt "Superbly Fitted"
Mr.. Welles pictured President
Roosevelt as "superbly fitted to
undertake his constitutional respon-
sibilities,'' and declared that the
people of this country look to him
once more for that inspired leader
ship of which he is so supremely
capable"
He urged that the United States,
Britain, Russia and China agree soon
on basic principles for the postwar
world, to constitute "the very foun-
dation" of an ultimate international
organization" whose two moral prin-
ciples would be the inalienable right
of all peoples to enjoy the freedoms
of religion, of speech and of infor-
nation" and the conviction that mo
nation has the inherent and un-
limited right to govern subject
peoples"
Points in the agreement, he said,
should include the joint task of
keeping the peace; the machinery
for progressive armament reduc-
ton; a common policy of realistic
justice for conquered enemy powers
to render them incapable of future
aggression; willingness not to under
take independent action affecting
sovereign rights of other nations
without concurrence of all four
powers, and perfection of a univer-
sal world organization.
Suggests Executive Council.
When the agreement is reached,
he suggested, an executive council
of representatives of the United
Nations should be set up with power
to resolve political or other ques-
tions referred to it.
Unless the four powers arrive at
such an understanding in the near
future, Mr.. Welles said, "the hope of
the creation of a stable world in
the postwar years must necessarily
be all but illusory."
Mr. Welles said victory should Sc
