HOOVER MESSAGE PRAISES BOLIVAR Stimson Presides at Exer- cises for Soldier-Statesman at Pan-American Union. The 100th_anniversary of the death of Simon Bolivar, liberator of six South American republics was observed yesterday at the Pan-American Union, ‘where Secretary of State Stimson read a message from President Hoover prais- ing the prophetic vision of the soldier- statesman which “enabled him to lay the foundations of pan-Americanism.” Official and diplomatic Washington participated in the exercises, at which Secretary Stimson presided as chair- man of the Governing Board, and as a fitting climax to a day devoted in Washington to commemorating the centennial anniversary of Bolivar's death, the diplomats of 37 nations as- sembled for sh{xjfl?l’ h?:mrs last night etown University “T?\eeorng%IEE of Beesident Hoover follows: Higm‘es people of the United States join with me in honoring the memory of the great liberator, Simon Bolivar. All the nations of the "American Conti- nent owe him a debt of gratitude, not only because of his military achieve- ments, but also by reason of his pro- E}neuc political vision which enabled foundations of pan- e foresee the nations of in Americanism as well as to jmportant part which the Amp:ncl are cnlled upon to play world affairs.” Secretary Stimson Speaks. W ary Stimson, who delivered the M;’)‘l’lm‘:!:lory’;lthe address, said “Bolivar is one of the few figures in history whose statue and influence, far from be- ing dimmed by the progress of time, grew with each succeeding year.” “Bolivar’s thought for an American system,” Mr. Stimson said, “did not in- volve the slightest antagonism to Eu- z0pe, but was conceived as a union of the American nations, eliminating con- flict from their relations, emphasizing the peaceful settlement of all disputes and inaugurating a period of interna- nal cooperation.” u“s;m:m Fausic was rendered by an or- f the United States Marine cmhesgr nsr?d the Georgetown University Glee Club. This was broadcsst over the Columbia and National Broadcasting systems and relayed to South American stations.

Coleman Nevils, 8. J. president of the university. Dr. Scott in his opening address said: “His Congress of Panama is the first of the continental conferences of the American States and the admitted medent of the peace conferences of Hague.

THE EVENING HOOVER 10 KEEP HANDS OFF CUBA' 30-Year Policy of U. S. as|tw Laid Down by Elihu Root Is to Be Maintained. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. * “Hands off” will continue to be the attitude of the Hoover administration toward Cuba as long as there is a gov- ernment_at Havana capable of main- taining law and order. Nothing has so far transpired, in the view of the State Department, to justify any departure from this policy. It is a policy to which the United States has consistently ad- hered for 30 years. In a nutshell, Unele Sam’s position is that we are entitled to intervene in Cuba in the event of only two contingencies (1) that the re- public’s independence is threatened from without and (2) that the island has fallen into a state of anarchy. The proposal of Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee should inquire into Cuban-American relations, in light of charges that the rights of Cuban citizens are being out- raged by the Machado government, finds no support in administration quarters. President Hoover and Secre- tary Stimson are being kept fully in- formed of developments in the island by Ambassador Guggenheim, including the fact that various groups of Cubans are bringing pressure to bear at Havana in the hope of forcing American inter- vention under the Platt amendment. The sum and substance of the State Departments advices is that the Ma- chado regime is invulnerable to date and is exercising the functions of gov- ernment all along the line. The policy which has been the basis of our conduct toward Cuba was laid down by Elihu Root, Secretary of War in the McKinley administration, at the time the island was setting up a gov- ernment of its own. Writing to Gen. Leonard Wood, governor of Cuba, on April 2, 1901, Secretary Root said: “You are authorized to state officially that in the view of the President, the intervention described in the third clause of the Platt amendment (the one giving the United States the right to intervene under specified conditions) is not synonomous with inter-meddling or interference with the affairs of the Cuban government, but with the formal action of the Government of the United States, based upon just and substantial grounds for the preservation of Cuban independence and the maintenance of a government adequate for the protec- tion of life, property and individual liberty, and for diseharging the obli- gations with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States.” Reduced to non-diplomatic English, what th: “Root policy” means is that the United States will religiously keep its fingers out of the Cuban pie, no matter how badly scrambled that pie is in consequence of purely local con- troversy. In other words, as long as there is a government on the job at Havana, capable through its own power of running the country, the United States does not feel itself either called upon or at liberty to interfere in Cuba’s domestic affairs, no matter how tumuituous they may become. ‘Washington may not like the way any given Havana government com- ports itself, or the methods to which it resorts to maintain itself in authority. But such a situation of itself, under the “Root policy” would not be held sufficient to demand intervention. When the question of the Platt amendment was before the Constituent I 29 RadiantRotary OIL BURNER INCREASED SALES DURING DEPRESSION MORE THAN JUSTIFY ITS PURCHASE NOow !

Hines Extends Christ- mas Messages of Hurley and Self Over Radio Network. Disabled veterans in Government hos- pitals were extended Christmas’ greet- ings from Secretary Hurley and Brig. Gen. Hines, veterans’ administrator, over the air last night. Both messages were broadcast over the Columbia system by Hines. The ‘War Secretary was unable to appear in person. “We are ever mindful of all that you have done,” Secretary Hurley's message said. “At this season of cheer, you are cioser to us than ever. May each and ever, one of you enjoy a merry Christ- mas and a happy New Year and may that New Year bring you speedy resto- ration to helth and vigor.” “I am sure,” said Hines, “that you share with me the full determination of making a recovery in order that you may continue service to your country. It is my earnest desire that every com- fort and service be extended to my com- rades who, at this time of year, find themselves in our hospitals or homes.” ———— Arjuna Svasti, heir to the throne of Siam, is a student at Yale University.

Newly drafted amendments designed to put more “teeth” in the pending House bill which would give the Dis- trict Government effective control and regulation of outdoor advertising signs are ready, it was said today for submis- sion to the District Commissioners for their approval and recommendation. With the outle-k in Congress admit- tedly discouraging for additional Dis- trict legislation at this time, however, it was considered doubtful whether the bill could pass the House even were it reported favorably from the District Committee. Although that committee is not yet functioning for general legis- lation, it was pointed out by those in favor the billboard regulation that the bill is one of the pending measures which should have prior claim. Since the Senate already has passed upon the legislation, it was considered | - more expedient to have the proposal amendments cdopted in the House, leav- ing whataver differences between the two bodies that might arise to be threshed out in conference. It was hoped that the amendments would be sent to the Commissioners tomorrow or soon there- after. Miss James Favors Bill. Miss Harlean James, executive secre- tary of the American Civic Association, which is sponsoring the campaign to clean up the highway approaches to ‘Washington before the George Washing- ton Bicentennial Celebration in 1932, is strongly in favor of the bill. She point- ed out, however, that in carrying out the regulations which it empowers the District Commissioners to make and en- force, no compromise should be made with the billboard owners whereby exist- ing billboards in the District could be reconditioned. ‘While owners can paint new signs on th: boards they cannot now be re- ed. “The only way to get rid of them juickly as possible under ordinary conditions” said Miss James, “is to let them rot away. If they are recondi- tioned there would be Give Good Cheer If you know of some family which you would like to aid this Christmas, nothing would be more acceptable to them than a. ton or two of Famous Reading Anthracite.
