Pledges Protection to Neighbors PRESIDENT HITS Hollywood Newlymeds Vacation AT PERSECUTION OF JEWS ABROAD Chief Execum Declares U. S. Will Defend West- ern Hemisphere ARMAMENT RACE NOT CONDUCIVE TO PEACE Controlled German Press Cries Out at Roose- velt's Remarks WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Presi- dent Roosevelt, in a virtually un- precedented condemnation of na- tions which suppress liberty, per- secute Jews and use threats of war to attain national ends, last night issued warning that the Unit- ed States’ would protect the West- ern Hemisphere from interference from abroad. The President’s re- marks were broadcast in connection with the New York Herald-Tri- bune’s forum on current events. The following are some of the highlights of the Chief Executive's address: No one can doubt the longing of most peoples of the world for en- during peace. Tt has become increasingly clear that peace by fear has no higher or more enduring quality than peace by the sword. We covet nothing save good rela- tions with our neighbdrs and we recognize the world today has be- come our neighbors. You cannot organize civilization around the core of militarism and at the same time expect reason to control human destinies. If there is not general disarma- ment, we ourselves must continue to arm, though we still insist arma- ment had reached a point of being absurd unless new territories and new controls are coveted. We in the United States do not seek to impose on any other people either our way of life or our in- ternal form of government, but we are determined to maintain and protect that way of life and form of government for ourselves. In all I have said to you I have reaffirmed the faith of the Amer- ican people in democracy.

Commissioner Felix By PRESTON GROVER | WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Politics | has obscured a major drama in the decision of Governor Lehman to run again for governor of New York instead of seeking election to the Senate By his decision to run again for his present office—a decision al- most forced upon him as a means of saving the ticket he log- jammed his own political career. He and his supporters felt fairly sure he could have been elected to the two-year short term in the Senate left by the death of Senator Copeland. Re-election two years| hence normally would not have been difficult. So, that way, his political future was cut out for him. Further, he was plainly tired of the governorship. He would have| been happy if he could have dropped out two years ago but was | prevailed upon to run to “assure”| dians when sobbing about the"‘ence was suspended on condition | President Roosevelt of carrying Lhe‘ Jews.” The Berlin Lokalanzieger said his | WS 8iven several days in which tn‘ mention of foreign armaments®*and their purposes was merely to apolo- gize for America’s own armament program.

FARLEY HELPED HIM DECIDE | This year almost the same situa-, | tion developed. The party organiza- tion was frankly afraid of the Re-| publican candidate, District Attor- | ney Tom Dewey. With Lehman run- | ning again for governor they felt| they could win, So, under pressure from Postmaster General Farley an ‘ organization leaders he scuttled his| immediate Senate ambition to run| for governor. To most people it would not be sad news to have to be governor of | New York, but if a wan wants to| be Senator instead, then what? | At the end of two years more of governorship, what will be in store for Lehman? For various reasons Lehman is| not looked wupon as presidential| timber and further, he never has| | indicated any desire to wield a| | big influence in the National Party | | organization. He wanted only be Senator, and now the odds are| not good there.

J, Oct. 27. — CIO and allied organizations won a Fed- eral Court order today restraining Mayor Hague and fellow New Jer- sey officials from “deporting” mem- bers of the unions or interfering with their rights to speak in public parks, distribute leaflets and carry placards. Four Die in Freak Crash of Plane | The decision was handed down by‘ Circuit Judge William W. Clark, who sat as District Judge last spring on the injunction suit brought by CIO and the American Civil Liber- ties League against Mayor Hague and his colleagues in which it was asked the Mayor and his group be enjoined from interfering with activities of the unions and the League Hopes for Appeal In rendering his decision, Clark expressed the hope that his opinion would be appealed, and recommended a “modified form of public censorship,” on public speak- ing with the requirement that an advance copy of the speech must be furnished to authorities in cases where “particular persons applying for permits have on previous oc- casions addressed similar audiefices with resulting disturbances.” Ne Intimidation Ruling The 15,000 word decision did not rule on the plaintiff complaint that the Hague administration was intimidating owners of private meeting halls into refusing to rent them to the CIO, American Civil Liberties League and like groups. The judge ruled that no compe- tent evidence was presented to con- nect city officials with any group’s inability to obtain indoor meeting places. “Communism” Unmentioned Also, the decision failed to men- “Communism,” which mention the judge said was not necessary, because it is unnecessary to speak “of the particular allergy with which the people of Jersey City are por- trayed as being afflicted, because proof of the idea is only allegedly, giving rise to that condition res ing on double and triple hearsay ——— - Train Hits Auto; h Persons Killed WINDSOR, Ontario, Oct. 27— Five persons were killed and an- other person seriously hurt last night when a Canadian National freight train struck an automobile at the Stony Point Railroad cross- ing.

Grew, in Tokyo, on October 6 but was made public only today. ‘The American no demanded continuance of the “open door” policy in the Orient and an early reply was expected. Strained Relations Unofficial interpretation here is that unless a favorable answer does not arrive soon, relations between the United States and Japan will become strained. In the note, the United States accuses Japan of seeking to estab- lish another Manchoukuo out of portions of China she has occupied in the “undeclared war.” Violations Given The note listed a long series of violations on American business and property rights and said: “Your Excellency, Emperor of Ja- pan, cannot fail to recognize the ex- istence of a great and growing dis- parity between the treatment ac- corded American Nationals and their trade and enterprise by the Japanese authorities in China and Japan and treatment accorded Jap- anese nationals in their trade and enterprise by the Government of the United States in areas within this government’s jurisdiction.” Some students of Far Eastern affairs, profess to see in this state- ment a veiled threat that if Japan does not accord Americans better treatment, Japanese merchants dealing in or with the United States, soon might encounter restrictions, wed “DETERMINED STAND” TOKYO, Oct. 27.—The note re- ceived on October 6 has not been published in Japan although the note specifically requested a prompt reply. * The Foreign Office spokesman said no date has been set to answer the note.
