‘| Telephone 2200 Chica -Hull Calls on Mankind to Restore World | Pleads ‘Tell Truth’ HITS INTERNATIONAL ANARCHY IN TALK AT TORONTO UNIVERSITY U. S. Secretary of State Ap- peals to ‘Outraged Con- science of Mankind’ MENTIONS NO NATIONS Points Finger at ‘Agressor’ Powers; Is Given Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree Toronto, Canada, Oct. 22—(P)— Cordell Hull, America’s secretary of state, summoned the “outraged con- science of mankind” Friday to set in motion forces designed to restore ‘world peace. In an address prepared for deliv- ery at Toronto university, Hull in- veighed against “international law- lessness” generally but did not refer specifically to the conflicts in China and Spain to which his remarks ob- viously were intended to apply. “There is a grim paradox,” he as- serted, “in the trends which are s0 «q Clearly discernible today. As civil- ization moves to higher and higher levels, as the march of progress opens wider and wider horizons of mater- ial and cultural advancement, war becomes more relentlessly cruel, more thorough and effective in its unre- ** strained savagery. _ ‘Seeds of Hope’ et in this very paradox, in this soul-shattering conflict, there are seds of hope. No more than a com- munity or nation, can the world of today base its existencsin. part on order and in part on chaos; in part faw and in part on lawlessness, “and, just as, sooner or , the outraged conscience of « which re-establish order 80 J firmly believe the ou con- science of mankind will set in’ mo- tion forces which will create, in the sphere of international relations, un- shakable order based on law.” Hull pointed an admonitory finger at aggressor nations. “Modern civilization has survived and has gone ever forward because the violators of order, the breakers of the peace, have always been the ex- ception rather than the rules,” he declared. Gets Honorary Degree “Whatever tragedies they have caused during their brief appearances on the stage of history, in the end they have always bowed to the will of Ghat overwhelming majority of man- kind which desires @ continuing, rather than an inglorious decline, of man’s civilized existence.” Receiving from the university the honorary degree of Doctor of Law: ewthe American official spoke signifi cantly of the peace aims, which he eaid, the United States and the Brit- ish empire share in common. Hull reiterated previous pleas for tomplete and general respect for in- ternational agreements as an indis- pensible condition to achievement of international order and warned that no nation can escape the repercus: sions of a major armed conflict any- where in the modern world.

IDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1937 PRICE FIVE CENTS Control Over Two-Thirds of War-Torn Peninsula (By the Associated Press) Insurgent Spain Friday became Europe's newest, albeit embryo, Fas- cist state. Diplomats met in London still to debate how to get foreign fighters out of Spanish armies and lessen the chances that other nations will be- come openly involved in the Spanish civil war. But, even while they talked, it ap- peared that Father Time himself might solve the problem—that the next few months might see a decisive end of the civil conflict. The situation in Spain today—while in the Far East another war carried on full blast—appeared to be: Insurgent Generalissimo Franco be- came real dictator of the tefritory he holds—at least two-thirds of Spain. He set up a Fascist grand council to jgovern it, with himself as its all- powerful head. CELEBRATION DRIVES MID-WESTERNERS INSIDE Madrid, Oct. 22.—(#)—U, 8.

Federal agents focused their na- tionwide search on the Chicago area when Mrs. Clara Ludwig, 41, a rail- road freight office clerk, found she possessed a $10 bill which was part of the $50,000 ransom. It was believed the first tangible evidence that the ransom money was in circulation. Investigators expressed confidence other notes would turn up to provide additional information that would lead them to the kidnapers’ hideout. Mrs, Ludwig reported she received the bill from Florence Giaquinto, 20, a roomer at her home. The latter said she received it from William J. Wer- necke, an insurance collector. Thurs- day preparatory to a shopping trip Mrs, Ludwig checked the note against the ransom list and found it was one of the ransom bills.

OLSON PRCLAIS OCT, NAVY DAY Points to Record of Naval Forces as Guardians of American Prosperity Pointing to the service which the United States navy and merchant marine had given our country during years of peace as well as war, Mayor Obert A. Olson Friday proclaimed Wednesday, Oct. 27, navy day in Bis- marck, Olson urged that citizens display the American flag throughout that day and otherwise help to honor the navy. The proclamation: Our Nation has valiantly bent con- tinuous efforts to secure and main- tain Peace and Happiness for out peo Our records clearly indicate that we have never been an aggres- sive Nation, nor have we any inten- tion of ever being one. Nevertheless we are prone to realizee that to pro- tect not only our security as a Na- tion, but human lives and property is an obligation we must accept. Ws are well aware that the instruments of protection are adequate armed forces. The United States Navy and Mer- chant Marine are ever active, and stand as constant guards to the prosperity of our country. It is, therefore, fitting that Navy Day be observed aS a day during which tribute should be paid to our mari- time forces. October 27th of this year has been designated Navy Day. This day also commemorates the birthday of Theo- dore Roosevelt, that great statesman who believed that a good Navy in no way prevokes war, but is the “surest guaranty to peace.” I, Obert A. Olson, Mayor of the City of Bismarck, do set aside W: . October 27th, as a day to carefully consider and appreciate the benefits we as citizens enjoy in a nation 80 well secured by @ truly noble force— the United States Navy. I urge you to display the flag on that day, and to assist in whatever manner possible to promote programs prepared in appre- ciation of our Navy. Signed this 22nd day of October, 1937, OBERT A.
