wish to live in peace and amity with

their neighbors. Some 15 years ago the hopes of mankind for a continuing era of international peace were raised to great heights when more than 60 nations solemnly pledged themselves not to resort to arms in furtherance of their national aims and policies. The high aspirations expressed in the Briand-Kellogg Peace Pact and the hopes for peace thus raised have of late given way to a haunting fear of calamity. The present reign of terror and international lawlessness began a few years ago. It began through unjustified interference in the internal affairs of other nations or the invasion of alien territory in violation of treaties, and, has now reached a stage where the very foundations of civilization are seriously threatened. The landmarks and traditions which have marked the progress of civilization toward a condition of law, order and justice are being wiped away. * Without a dec- " laration of war and without warning or justification of any kind civilians, including women and children, are being ruthlessly murdered with bombs from the air. In times of so-called peace ships are being attacked and sunk by submarines without cause or notice. Nations are fomenting and taking sides in civil warfare in nations that have never done them any harm. Nations claiming freedom for themselves deny ‘it to others.

Innocent peoples and nations are being cruelly sacrificed to a greed for power and supremacy which is devoid of all sense of justice and humane consideration.

To paraphrase a recent author “perhaps we foresee a time when men, exultant in the technique of homicide, will rage so hotly over the world that every precious thing will be in danger, every book and picture and harmony, every treasure garnered through two milleniums, the small, the delicate, the defenseless—all will be lost or wrecked or utterly destroyed.”

U. S. WON'T ESCAPE

If those things come to pass in other parts of the world, let no one imagine that America will escape, that it may expect mercy, that this Western Hemisphere will not be at-. tacked and that it will continue tranquilly and peacef - on the ethics and the arts of civilization. : :

If those days come “there will be no safety by arms, no help from authority, no answer in science. The storm will rage till every flower of culture is trampled and all human beings are leveled in a vast chaos.” If those days are not to come to pass—if we are to have a world in which we can breathe freely and live in amity without fear—the peace-loving nations must make a concerted effort to uphold laws and principles on which alone peace can rest secure. The peace-loving nations must make a concerted effort in opposition to those violations of treaties and those ignorings of humane instincts which today are creating a state of international anarchy and instability from which there is no escape through mere isolation or neutrality.

¢ MUST WORK TOGETHER

Those who cherish their freedom and recognize and respect the equal rights of their neighbors to be free and live in peace, must work together for the triumph of law and moral principles in order that peace, justice and confidence may prevail in ghe world. There must be a ret -to a belief in the pledged word, in the value of a signed treaty. There must be recognition of the fact that national morality is as vital as private morality. A bishop wrote me the other day, “It seems to me that something greatly needs to be said in behalf of ordinary humanity against the present practice of carrying the horrors of war to helpless civilians, especially women and children. It may be that such a protest might be regarded by many, who claim to be realists, as futile, but may it not be that the heart of mankind is so filled with horror at the present needless )suffering that force could be mobilized in sufficient volume to lessen such cruelty in the days .ahead. Even though it may take 20 years, which God forbid, for civilization to make effective its corporate protest against this barbarism, surely strong voices may hasten the day.”

There is a solidarity and interdependence about the modern world, both technically and morally, which makes it impossible for any nation completely to isolate ‘itself from economic and political upheavals in the rest of the world, especially when such upheavals appear to be spreading and not declining. There can be no stability or peace either within nations or between nations except under laws and moral standards adhered to. by all. International anarchy destroys - every foundation for peace. It jeopardizes either the immediate or the future security of every matio: large or small. It is, therefore,/a matter of vital interest and congérn

trade. They want to exert themselves in industry, in agriculture and in business, that they may increase their wealth through the production of wealth-producing goods rather than striving to produce military planes and. hombs and machine guns and cannon for destruction of human lives and ‘useful property.

SPENDING IS GREAT

In those nations of the world which seem to be piling armament on armament for purposes of aggression, and those other nations which fear acts of aggression against them and their security, a very high proportion of their national income is being spent directly for armaments. It runs from 30 to as high as 50 per cent. The proportion that we in the United States spend is far less— 11 or 12 per cent. How happy we are that the circumstances of the moment permit us to put our money into bridges and boulevards, dams and reforestation, the conservation of our soil and many other kinds of useful works rather than into huge standing armies and vast supplies of implements of war. I am compelled and you are compelled, nevertheless, to look ahead. The peace, the freedom and the security of 90 per cent of the population of the world is being jeopardized by the remaining 10 per cent who are threatening a breakdown of all international order and law. Surely the 90 per cent who want to live in peace under law and in accordance with moral standards which have received almost universal acceptance through the centuries, can and must find some way to make their will prevail. The situation is definitely of uni-

Roosevelt Asks Jobless to Give Data in Census

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (U. P.) — A personal message from President Roosevelt will go into 31,000,000 American homes with the unemPloyment census questionnaire, Di-

rector John D. Biggers revealed today in announcing details of the questionnaire. 3 ‘If you give me the facts I shall try to use them for the benefit of all who need and want work and do not now have it,” the President pledges in his message which is printed on the reverse side of each card. The census organization, headed by Mr. Biggers, president of Libby-Owens-Ford Plate Glass Co. has ordered 60,000,000 cards distribued

All employable persons who are on relief, exclusive of executive positions, are eligible to report.

14 Questions Asked

The card contains 14 questions. They are: 1. Name and address and if living on farm. 2. Are you totally unemployed, partly employed and want more work, or working for a Government agency? 3. Are you able to work? 4, Age. 5. Color. 6. Sex. 7. How many hours did you work last week? 8. How many weeks did you work in the last 12 months? 9. What is your occupation, or kind of work? 10. Kind of business or industry in which you did, or are doing, this kind of work? : 11. How many other workers are there in your family living in the same household with you? - 12. Are they totally unemployed, partly employed and want more work, or working for a Government agency? 13. How many persons are mainly dependent on you for support? 14, What - was your individual “total income, cash and other, last week?

seek the removal of barriers against:

versal concern. The questions involved relate not merely to violations of specific provisions of particular treaties, they are questions of war and of peace, of international law . and especially of principles of humanity. It is true that they involve definite violations of agreements, and especially of the covenant of the League of Nations, the Briand-Kellogg Pact and the NinePower Treaty. But they also involve problems of world economy, world security and world humanity.

It is true that the moral consciousness of the world must recognize the importance of removing injustices and well founded grievances but at the same time it must be aroused to the cardinal necessity of honoring sanctity of treaties, of respecting the rights and liberties of others and of putting an end to acts of international aggression.

EPIDEMIC SPREADING

It seems to be unfortunately true that the epidemic of world lawlessness is spreading. When an epidemic of physical disease starts to spread, the community approves and joins in a quarantine of the patiénts in order to protect the health of the commuRity against the spread of the disease. ;

It is my determination to pursue a policy of peace and to adopt every practicable measure to avoid involvement in war. It ought to be inconceivable that in this modern era, and in the face of experience, any nation could be so foolish and ruthless as to run the risk of plunging the whole world into war by invading and violating in contravention of solemn treaties, the territory of other nations that have done them no real harm and which are too weak to protect themselves adequately. Yet the peace of the world and welfare and security of every nation is today being threatened by that very thing. :

No nation which refused to exercise forbearance and to respect the freedom and rights of others can long remain strong and retain the confidence and respect of other nations. No nation ever loses its dignity or good standing by concilating its differences, and by exercising great patience with, and consideration for, the rights of other nations. :

‘WAR IS A CONTAGION’

War is a contagion, whether it be

| declared or undeclared. It can

engulf states and peoples remote from the original scene of hostilities. We are determined to keep out of war, yet we cannot insure ourselves against the disastrous effects. of war and the dangers of involvement. We are adopting such measures as will minimize our risk of involvement but we cannot have complete protection in a world of disorder in which confidence and security have broken down. If civilization is to survive the principles of the Prince of Peace must be restored. Shattered trust between nations must be revived. Most important of all, the will for peace on the part of peace loving nations must express itself to the end that nations tempted to violate their agreements and the right{ of others will desist from such a cause.

America hates war. America hopes for peace. ‘Therefore, America ac-

tively engages in the search for

peace.

COUNTY MAN IS AMONG § GIVEN PAROLE PAPERS

Poor Record Costs Fellow Prisoner Denial Of Plea.

One prisoner sentenced from Marion County Criminal Court was among eight paroled today and another was among seven whose petitions were denied by the State Clemency Commission. Shellborn Beddow, sentenced here July 8, 1935, to three to 10 years in the State Prison for second-degree burglary, was paroled after the Commission found he had “gotten into trouble because he was intoxicated.” Robert Weathers, convicted here in May and June, 1931, was denjed clemency because of his institutional record. He was given terms of three to 10 and 10 years for burglary and robbery. During his incarceration at the Indiana Reformatory, the Commission said, he had been in the guard house eight times, and maintained a poor record after he was transferred to Michigan City. Trial records show that Weathers and two accomplices held up a filling station attendant at 25th and Keystone Ave. on Nov. 30, 1930.

Seven Others Paroled

The Commission ruled on cases of 15 other prisoners sentenced from various Circuit Courts. Six of these were denied clemency, seven were paroled and two had sentences com-

muted.

Among those paroled were two men who said they stole because they were hungry. They were Fred Barnhart and Ira Berndt. Both were convicted July 24, 1936, and given two-to-five-year terms by the La Porte Circuit Court for seconddegree burglary. Upon his admission at the State Prison, Barnhart was quoted by the Commission as saying: > ; “I was only working part time when this crime happened, and as I have a wife and five children, the money I was making was hardly enough to take care of our needs. Ira Berndt and I broke into this grocery and took some merchandise which was taken to be used as food and not to sell. When arrkned, I pleaded guilty to this charge.” Berndt also said he needed food for his family.

Killer Denied Plea

A man found guilty of beating a prison guard to death was told he would have to serve out his life sentence. He is William Denton, convicted in Floyd Circuit Court of a second degree murder charge on April 17, 1922. The Commission said that at the time the crime was committed, Denton was an inmate of the Jeffersonville Reformatory, having been sentenced earlier to serve a 1-to-14-year term for grand larceny. He and five others, the Commis-
