TRADING TODAY NEW YORK, May 16— Closing’ Standard Brands | PLAIN SPOKEN " STATEMENT IS ISSUED TODAY |U. S. President Breaks Diplomatic Precedent in Action Taken TWO GOALS SET TO BE OBTAINED Germany, Japan, Others Not Mentioned But Inference Taken WASHINGTON, May 16.— President Rooosevelt today appealed directly to the rul- ers of all nations to reduce armaments, eliminate entire- ly the weapons of aggression, refrain from sending armed forces whatsoever beyond |their borders, forget petty national aims and join sin- cerely to assure peace and | economic recovery. In a plain speaking mes- sage, without diplomatic pre- cedent, the President asked that specific steps to accom- plish this program be taken at once. President Roosevelt declar- edl that if any nation inter- posed obstructions, the civil- ized world will “know where ruponslbllxty for failure The President mentioned no nation by name but his words rang through the diplomatic world with dramatic signi- ficance at a moment when certain leaders in Germany are asking for a greater arm- ament, when Japanese troops are marching deeper into China territory, and when other peoples are suspected of harboring aspirations to acquire new territory, by force. The message is directed directly to heads of forty-four nations to be represented at the London Economic Conference, including Russia. The message is signed “Franklin D. Roosevelt.” For the United States the mes- sage is a plain worded declaration pointing to abstention from furth- er incursions by American Marines in any Latin American country. For foreign countries the mes- sage sets, as the immediate goal, success for the Geneva Arms Con- ference and London Economic Con= ference. President’s Proposals The President proposed the adop- tion at Geneva of British Premier MacDonald’s plan to reduce arma- ment of France and stabilize those of Germany, set up a consultative pact to promote . peace agreement and set a time and place for a later conference to carry these steps still further into agreement. Pledge Solicited In the meantime, no nation shall | increase its existing armaments |and a promise by all nations to provide -terms of arms limitation is to be faithfully kept and “that they will send no armed force of Jjust and is also used] whatsoever nature across frontiers.” President Roosevelt said he pro= rOmmnued on Page Three) \Third of Navy s | WA.SHINGTON.
