Declines to Join Pessimists, Not Discouraged by Slow Recovery By PAUL C. EDWARDS, Associate Editor, The San Francisce News « SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 9—From the eminence of his 73 years of life, 33 of which have been spent in service to the public and humanity, Herbert Hoover looks in the glass for his birthday tomorrow nd does not see everything darkly over the world. As his country’s only living ex-President and foremost world statesman, he declines to join the ranks of the pessimists or to be discouraged

TWO: Even if we did suffer an fconomic collapse of serious proporons, it would not bring commuhism to this country. x THREE: With reasonable rom the United States, western Europe can recover if the countries ill make a determined effort to help themselves. FOUR: Russia's obstructionist tics do not constitute a substanial threat to the peace. The free hations of he world can make their bwn peace without Russia's co-op-ration and can subjugate her innational poison squads. FIVE: If we can neither gain Russia's co-operation in the peace hor make peace without ‘her, then is nation, armed for defense, can ive in reasonable comfort, use our ood surplus to stave off starvation, nd wait—even if this course means nuch isolation, which is undesirDon’ tExist Today “The forces which brought on ur depression of 1932 simply do hot exist today,” Mr. Hoover said. frst we had the stock market of 1929 which resulted from hncontrolled speculation.

on an ascending scale and employment is at top level. “Our banking system fis far stronger now than then, although it is not entirely foolproof yet. And the physical devastation of this war was so great that it will take much longer for the devastated countries to restore their productive capacity. Meanwhile they will have to depend upon our surplus for their sustenance and rehabilitation. Wise te Communism “Remote as is the possibility, a major depression would not precipitate a Communist revolution in America. Only another world war could do that. The people of this country are wise to the shallowness of communism and will never go for it short of the cataclysm of war. If another world war happens, nobody can tell where civilisation will go— if-there-is any place left to go: “Western Europe is not in such desperate ' straits as some represent. With help from us in reasonable amount, continued over the next few years, and with the kind of effort all the countries concerned are capable of making, they can get back on their feet and restore their economy to the point of producing exchafigeable commodities. Forget 35-Hour Week
“To pull themselves out of the hole the people of Western Europe will have to forget the 35-hour week
without producing. They attained their high level of civilization in the past by hard work and they can recover it only in the same way. Just now they have become enamored of socialistic panaceas as remedies for their distress, but it was not by use of these nostrums that they became great in former times. Their gregtness rested upon the maintenance of individual enterprise, representative government, and the protection of civil liberties. And so it will again. “What part Russia can or will play in reconstruction of western Europe is. an unanswerable question. Her efforts to communize that part of the world are not assured. Her refulal to \co-op-erate is responsible for failure thus far to establish peace, to make any appreciable gain in European production, to’ avoid Increasing danger of stravation, and to escape the fear of another world war; Wide, Varied Experience “But Western Eroupe can recovFer wiinous ier; There is inherent strength in Western civilization that has persisted for many generations. When the nations -of western Europe come to full realization of the necessity to return to the fundamentals of that civilization, they can, with our help, reestablish themselves upon a sound economy. If history teaches us anything, we can be pretty sure they will.” 3 Three score and thirteen years of a busy life have dealt kindly with Herbert Hoover. His optimism is that of a man many years his junior. No man in American public life has had so wide and varied experience as he. , No {former President ever has been called upon to serve his country so widely in his years of retirement. No American -has so great an acquaintance with world leaders. No citizen of the United States is listened to throughout the world with so much respect. Copyright, 1947, by Dally News Co, Lid.

Under Strict Military Rule
Confirms Times Story, By NED BROOKS
Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Russia’s refusal to allow U. 8. navy vessels io enter the Soviet-occupied Chinese port of Dairen may become the subject of another state department protest to Moscow, the department indicated today, The possibility of diplomatic representations arose as the department confirmed a Shanghai dispatch
William H. Newton saying that navy courier vessels had been barred from Dairen since last March. The Russian decision applies even to ships from which armament hés been stripped and ends an agreement whereby navy landing craft has been permitted to deliver mail to U. S. Consul General H. Merrell Benninghoff. i Protest Without Success Officials said they had been informed by the Russians that the port had been closed because it was under military administration. Diplomatic representations of the type now under consideration have gone unanswered in the past. Both the United States and China have

Bugsy Siegel's Girl Friend Reaches Florida Home
Whisked Away to Is
‘Nothing to Say,’ Virginia Tells Press MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 9 (U. P).~Virginia Hill, beautiful “wine merchant” and girl friend of the late Benjamin (Bugsy) Siegel, arrived by
plane from Paris today. She was whisked by police to h Sunset Island, No. 1.
“I have nothing to say,” she remarked as she walked across the
airfield to the waiting squad car, chewing gum furiously and almost glowering at reporters. She was met by detectives who were assigned bv Police Chief P. R. Short to see that she got home safely. Miss Hill, who announced over the Atlantic that she was not talking to any more newspaper reporters “even if they cut my tongue out,” tossed her long bob angrily when newsmen walking alongside threw questions at her about Siegel, California reports that gunmen were ‘after her and European reports that she had attempted to take her own life. “You Americans started all this in the first place,” said the former Alabama divorcee. “I have nothing to say. Whatsa matter? Don't you understand English?” The squad car sped her across Biscayne bay to her island home in the most exclusive section of Miami Beach. . The officers dropped Miss Hill at her two-story Ornate, white stucco home, which is surrounded by palms and landscaped grounds. It was believed she was questioned
