erence to the extension of the war to Norway Denmark, which he condemned a statement last Saturday. But emphasized the necessity of adequate preparedness if the Americas are to live in peace. He sald preparedness is important because in his conception the “whole world now is struggling to find the basis of its life in coming cen‘turies” The co-operative peace of the Western Hemisphere was not: created by wishing; and it will require more than words to maintain it,” the President said. “In this Association of nations, whoever touches any one of us

asked that the world go with us in the path of peace. But we shall be able to keep that way open if we are prepared to meet force with force if challenge is ever made.”

Refers to Present Wars |

Diplomats representing the other 20 American republics, which with +» the United States comprise the Pan American Union, and representatives of other nations, too, heard Mr. Roosevelt declared that “universal and stable peace remains a dream.” . “War, more horrible and destructive than ever, has laid its blighting hand on many parts of the earth. Peace among our American nations remains secure because of the instruments we have succeeded in creating,” the President said. Contrasting the wars raging in the Old World with the amity existing in the Western Hemisphere, Mr. Roosevelt said the Americas have no need to seek a new international order because they have already found it. He noted that in this Hemisphere there have been’no “violent troop movements, disruption of nations, capturing of governments or uprooting of innocent people from their " homes.” But in the Americas “today we can have no illusions,” he warned.

We learn of groups which insist they have the right to impose their way of life on other nations. We encounter economic compulsions shrewdly devised to force great areas into political . spheres of influence.” Asserting that the disruptive influences loosed abroad are of more than academic interest in this Hemisphere, Mr. Roosevelt said that What happens in the Old World directly and powerfully affects the peace. and well-being of the New World. To counteract such’ disriiptive influences, he said, the:nations of the New World have set up procedures that now enable the Americas “To * meet any eventuality.” These include the Buenos Aires agreement to consult should peace be threatened; the Lima agreement to stand together to defend and maintain the integrity of every

' ° American nation from attack from

beyond the seas; and the Panama sgreement on ways and means to keep the war away from the Western: Hemisphere. “I pray God,” Mr. Roosevelt said, “that we shall not have to. do more than that: but should it be necessary, I am convinced that we should be wholly successful.”

Discusses Small Neutrals |

The President noted indirectly the fate of small neutrals in Europe and enunciated the principle that “No nation is truly at peace if it lives under the shadow of coercion or invasion.” “We have renounced, each and all of us, any right to intervene in each other’s domestic affairs, recognizing that free and independent nations must shape their own destinies and find ‘their own ways of life.” He elaborated that theme, saying that peace among the Americas ve= mains secure becauss “ui- ne instruments we have succeeded in creating.” These instruments sre poli-

WASHINGTON, April 15 (U.

This was not. won by hysterical outcries, or violent movement of troops.

cies, he said, include liberation of nations from fear of coercion; agreements that each nation shal

respect the integrity and independence of others; determination to mind our| own business and renunciation of any right to intervene in domestic affairs of other nations; resolution to, settle all disputes in the Americas 4n accordance with justice and equity rather than by force and establishment of effective machinery for that purpose; and recognition that vigorous and mutually beneficial international economic relations to make possible a rising level of economic well-being |p. is a- paramount premise of peace. Mr. Rooseyelt emphasized the driving force that inspires free! men in working toward , Justice and equitable objectives. ‘Declaring that the basis of life in coming centuries hinges on the present world conflict, he said solemnly: “I affirm that life must be based on positive values. “You cannot make men believe that a way. of life is good when it] spreads poverty, misery, dis€ase and death. =Men cannot be everlastingly loyal ess they are free.

tual relations be built upon honor and good faith. We are determined to live in peace and to make that peace secure. We are determined to follow the path of free peoples to a civilization worthy of free men.” Mr. Roosevelt prefaced his discussion of the role of the Americas in a world of ‘war by recounting the record of years of effort for peace and [co-operation since the Pan-American Union was | founded in 1890. He emphasized, however, that even fore establishment of the union, there existed a 60-year |; record of work for peace among the nations of North and South Amer-|; ica. The ideal of a hemispheric] family of nations living in friendship and urity, he said, originated in the mind of Simon Bolivar, the great South American. liberator. “His aim,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “was peace for the Americas, His ‘hope was that the American example might. eventually el ve peace

Young Scooter Finds Adventure

Five- -year-old Jimmie Quillin took a’ scooter excursion yesterday from his home, 2048 E. 46th St., and found a bright and altogether attractive hox on a utility pole. He fooled around with it a while, and then went home. In no time at all the neighborhood was filled with the shriek of sirens. and the street with fire trucks. Jimmie &xplained he had not known that the box was a fire signal box or that he had pulled it. He was thoroughly frightened. Fact is, he was in bed today recovering.

REICH TIGHTENS GRIP NEAR OSLO

Main Body of German Troops Reported Dozen Miles From Sweden.

| STOCKHOLM, Sweden, April 15 (U. P.).—Compact, fast moving German mechanized force§ are trying to cut off Norway from communication with southern Sweden and already have reached the frontier at Kornsjoe, it was reported today. The main German body was reported to be only 12% miles from the frontier and it was indicated that the Germans hoped soon to be in possession of the entire Ostfold department of Norway. It juts down into Sweden east of the Oslofjord. After taking Halden and Fredrikstad on the east side of the Oslofjord and consolidating their hold on the west side, the Germans maintain their advance, working in small detachments. Marching from Halden, the Germans took ‘over Kornsjoe on the frontier, ousting Norwegian frontier guards, it was reported.

Nazis Put Power Into Drive

Norwegian troops sought to dynamite a bridge in the Germans’ path but the Germans moved too fast and were soon in possession of the custems house and the frontier They told Swedish border guards that the town of Kornsjoe was now German. Part of the German force moved on, leaving a guard at the town. The Germans had taken the town of Eidsvold, north of Oslo, driving up the Vorn River, but the Norwegians were reported to be holding a line to the east, based on Skarnes, with some success. It was evident that the Germans were putting increasing power into their drive and United Press advices from Kongsvinger, 40 miles northeast of Oslo-and only 18 miles from Sweden, said that the Germans had succeeded in crossing the Vorm River at several points despite. the destruction of bridges. This would indicate that the Germans might soon reach the new main Norwegian defense line. Kongsvinger Evacuated The Germans, the advices said, were advancing rapidly and already had reached the immediate vicinity of Kohgsvinger. The city had been practically evacuated, the advices said, and only a few military men and civilians remained. The correspondent who telephoned this news to Stockholm said: “I must cut off now. I am all ready to go and must leave the city now.” There were unconfirmed reports that as many as 3000 Norwegian troops had crossed the frontier into Sweden, and had been disarmed and interned. However, other reports put the number at a fraction of this. Norwegian ski troops were thrown into fighting in some sectors, taking advantage of newly fallen snow, and it was reported that they were operating with some success against German mechanized units which the snow impeded. -

Americans Face Trouble In Leaving Scandinavia

WASHINGTON, April 15 (U. P). —Frederick A. Sterling, American Minister to Sweden, reported today to the State Department that Americans who may wish to leave Norway and Sweden face in g difficulties.

Claim. Deep "Penetration of German Lines in . Alsace Sector.

PARIS, April 15 (U. P.) —French and German patrols and artillery were active on the Western Front yesterday, French military dispatches reported today, and French forces inflicted “numerous losses” on attacking Germans. In the Alsace sector a French detachment was reported: to have penetrated deep into German lines where the Germans were engaged in “a lively, close-range skirmish.” German troops attempted to encircle the attacking French in the Alsace sector, but, French dispatches said, the French broke through and returned to their base. Meanwhile, the French President, Albert Lebrun, in a message broadcast to King Haakon of Norway, today said that his nation, in full accord with the. Allies, would give Norway “the most complete and most efficacious aid in all fields by all means in her power.”

Japan Notes Concern

Over Dutch East Indies

TOKYO, April 15 (U. P.).— Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita said today that Japan would be “deeply concerned” by any. development in the European war affecting the status quo of the Dutch East Indies.

Stavanger Raided Again ' 2. An Air Ministry communique saying that British planes again had raided Stavanger, on the Norwegian - coast, dropping incendiary and high explosive bombs which the British said were believed to have exploded ammunition stores. 3. A statement that the British had mined the Baltic Sea fron the Kattegat to Lithuania, thus laying a" mine barrier ‘along. the north German coast. These mining operations, however, were believed to have been carried out under great difficulties that may have lessened their effectiveness. The Communique telling of the landing of British forces in Norway was read to Britons over the radio today when the British Broadcast ing Co. interrupted a musical number called “run, rabbit, run” on the children’s hour program. Landings Termed Hazardous Naval and military sources said that the landings on Norway's rugged coast, in the face of possible German opposition, were regarded as hazardous, although it did not appear that the British forces faced any severe enemy fire. Greatest speculation centered on| a possible landing at Trondheim, which lies some 250 miles north of Oslo and is only 50 miles from the Swedish frontier. The Germans last week-end had reported that their units at Trondheim had been reinforced and that heavy artillery had been transported there. ; The port of Namsos, however, is only 75 miles north of Trondheim and British warships had ‘been reported very active off that part of the coast last week-end. Thus, it was believed, a landing might have been made at Namsos as a preliminary to both land and sea Di on Trondheim. Trondheim is on a peninsula formed by the Trondheim fjord and the River Nid. The harbor is 120 acres in area and the hills rise up in the background. - Report Nazis Flee Narvik ‘Narvik also was considered most likely as. a: landing scene for the ‘British, since there had been persistent reports from Stockholm since Saturday that Allied forces had landed in that iron-ore port after Saturday's. battle with - German warships. Stockholm dispatches said that the Germans at Narvik—estimated to number 1500—were believed to be surounded by Norwegian troops after fleeing from the port. The British communique on the battle of Narvik said that persons believed to be Germans had been seen fleeing into the hills behind the port, where Norwegian troops had been concentrated. An unidentified radio ' station, transmitting in Norwegian, had asserted yesterday morning that Napvik was “entirely British at the ment,” that 1600 Germans had killed: or wounded there and that the Germans were retreating inland in small’ groups, pursued by Norwegian soldiers. - . Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is expected to give details of the landings in Norway to the House of Commons tomorrow. In a communique issued late. last night the Admiralty had asserted that British submarines alone had sunk or damaged at least 15 German ships in Scandinavian waters during. the most, active week of the war. : Further, the German steamship Alster, 8514 tons, and three trawlers had been captured, the Admiralty said, and the Germare tanker Skagerrak, 6004 tons, and the German steamship Maine, 7625 tons, had been scuttled. Aid Is Coming, Norse Told The officially-controlled British Broadcasting Co. broadcast last night this message of British and Norwegian trade union leaders: “British ‘soldiers are coming to assist, the Norwegian people in their resistance ot the invaders. Wherever

British soldiers are, assist them by|

every means in your power. If you know where Germans are, tell the British. If the British require food, feed them. If they require shelter give it to them . . . the brutal invasion of Norway by the Germans will not go unpunished.” An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from ' Gothenburg, Sweden, eighteen vessels were known to have been sunk at Narvik, including nine German destroyers, two British destroyers, two Norwegian warships, one German whaler and one German, one British and two Swedish ore chips. It said the Germans had fled northeastward. 3
