PTTHAN DENANDS PROTEGIN OF LS. Senator, in Forum Talk, De- clares Citizens Must Be "* Guarded Against War. America must protect her citizens from warlike combinations of militant foreign nations, Senator Key Pittman of Nevada, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, warned last night in a speech in the National Radio Forum. “Is a treaty an instrument of safety or of danger?” he asked in a speech arranged by The Star and broadcast | on a coast-to-coast metwork by the National Broadtasting Co., and pointed out in reply: Treaties Scraps of Paper. “There is a growing tendency on the part of some powerful govern- ments to construe solemn treaties as but scraps of paper when they in- terfere with their ambitions, craze for conquest and_greed for money, or stand in the way of a panic of fear.” War will be the offspring of the marriage of international hates and treaty maladjustments, the Senator declared and charged the United States: “We, protect our citizens at home against local bandits with out police force, and we must protect against the attacks of outside bandits, whether they be public or private, with our Navy and Army, at least until the spirit of war and conquest which now dominates the earth is bated and the spirit of peace and justtice is re- stored.” Text of Address. The text of Senator Pittman’s ad- dress follows: Chaos darkens the earth and drives to insanity the bewildered, dazed and distracted peoples of the world. Great governments have fallen and dictators have usurped power. The rights and liberties of peoples, earned through ages of suf- fering and bloodshed, have been ruth- lessly torn from them. The econom- ic systems of governments have been debased and discredited. The wealth of nations has been plundered and the people impoverished. Fear, hatred, ambition and greed are becoming rapidly motivating influences in many | powerful governments. No such universal, selfish national- ism is recorded in history. Govern- ments are using every scheme and device to destroy the trade of other friendly governments. Tariffs, quotas and secret understandings are not used alone, but the money of the people is manipulated, debased and depreciated and used as an instru- ment of destruction rather than for prosperity. These are things that we cannot blind ourselves to, and must con-| sider in determining if there is to be peace; and, if there is not to be peace, then how we may best protect our| @ 1935, Liccxrr & Myras Tonacco Coy A THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

This chaotic condition undoubtedly received its impetus from the World | War, but it did not improve with| peace, and has steadily grown more acute. This is strange and discourag- ing to a civilized and peace-loving peo- ple because during a period of 40 years prior to the World War comparative peace existed. There was stability in money and in government, and safety and happiness in travel and trade— a rapid growth in the arts, sciences and literature. The spirit of God and Christianity was reaching the utter- most parts of the earth. Then an archduke in & remote province of Europe was assassinated by a common fanatic, and immediate- ly a large part of the world was dragged into the bloodiest and most disastrous war of all times. The youth and manhood of great civilized coun- tries, upon whom the future depended, weré debauched, shattered and de- stroyed, and when it ended, through exhaustion, the world lay broken, helpless and remorseful. No good, no lasting benefit had been accom- plished. Woodrow Wilson, the great states- man and humanitarisn the leader of the most progressive and peaceful people on earth, courageously ana un- selfishly took the iniuative in an at- tempt to establish a 'aw of reason and justice throughout the worid as a sub- stitute for physical power and war. No higher ideal was ever conceived, nor more sefishly trified with, and abandoned. The League of Nations may have accompilished much, but it has utterly failed «w euminate war and preparations for war. ‘There is a growing tendency or the part of some powerrul governments to |of paper when they interfere with | their ambitions, craze for conquest and greed for mouey, or stand in the way of a panic of fear. Solemn Treaties Violated. - Not alone has the Versailles treaty, carrying the League of Nations, been manipulated, ignored end flaunted, but other solemn treaties to which we are parties, intended to citlaw war and guarantee a orotection of the gov- ernments, territories and liberties of the weaker peoples, likewise are being treated with contempt, and brazenly and brutally violated. Great govern- ments, parties to these treaties, sol- emnly pledged their horor that they would not commit these acts of viola- tion and that they would meet to- gether for the pucrpose of considering the situation and aavire as to a course of action that wou!d amicably settle as a cause for armed confiict, ‘The most discouraging and dis- tressing result of these treaties is not alone that some poweriul governments have ruthlessly disregarced them, but that other goveraments, solemaly bound thereby, find their own circum- stances and conditions of the world such that they seem to fear even to speak forth frankly. Our Government and other governmeuts in these cases have, it is true, indicated their dis- Without this spicy aromatic Turkish tobacco that grows on the sunny slopes of Turkey and Greece, Chesterfield wouldn’t be Chesterfield. .. . . the right amount of the right kinds of Turkish to- bacco in your cigarette gives it a more pleasing aroma . . . helps to make it taste better. | construe solemn treaties as but scraps | any disputes that might be attributed | ‘What more should we do? What more can we safely do? If we cannot more, then the question is im- pressed on our minds as to whether is an instrument of safety or danger. We hear little of the law t, much of the law of might. every great government is pre- for war. Powerful goveruments are playing the game of diplomatic intrigue to win alliances with powerful groups that can conquer. The game is constantly shifting under our very eyes. What the firal alignment may be, one may but guess. .In any event, it is preparation for another world war. The result ic inevitable: The weak will be attacked and conquered. Alliances of Force Necessary. And where is our position in this great impending cataclysm? We still believe intensely in the outlawry of war, but we will not resort to war to enforce these treaties. We hold firmly to the justice ard wisdom of the treaties of Washington, and, yet, it must be evident that these treaties | cannot be enforced unless the inno- cent governments, parties to such treaties, are willing to co-operate to any end that may be necessary to en- force obedience to such treaties. This means an alliance cf force. I think I may safely say that the people of our country at the present time are unalterably opposed to any alliance with any other government that carries with it any intent to use force. Our Gevernment in the past has boldly and individually pro- nounced doctrines protecting the rights and liberties of our citizens to travel and trade on the high seas of the world, and to have every freedom and protection granted to the nationals of any other government. ‘We have gone even further, through the pronouncement of the Monroe Doctrine, to declare that the republics in Seuth and Central America are entitled to, and that we would protect them in, their independence and free- dom. This doctrine has been changed. Through the pronouncement of doctrines of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt we have de- clared the dcctrine of non-interven- tion. We have declared the doctrine of non-conquest, and we have been rapidly restoring the governments and territories to those whom we tem- porarily dispossessed in the Spanish- American War. U. S. Policy Stands Alone. Our policies and doctrines, how- ever, do not appear to be in accord with the policies and doctrines of conquest and governmental and terri- torial expansion being indulged by other great ard powerful nations. If there shall be political and mili- tary alliances between great naval powers of the world, we will be faced with a serious problem in our efforts to protect the rights of our citizens beyond the Lorders of our country. Impossible as it may seem, there might be 3 serious threat even against the safety of our own Government and the lives and property of its citizens within our borders. We are the strongest individual country in the world, anc yet we can conceive of a combinstion of other govern- ments, actuated by ambition or hatred or greed, that might strain every E-] our citizens at home local bandits with our police , and we must protect against attacks of outside bandits, whether they be public or private, with our Navy and our Army, at least until the spirit of war and conquest, which now dominates the earth, is abated agd tHe spirit of peace and justice is restored. soa Il Tt 6,000 FILE FOR TESTS AS POST OFFICE CLERKS ‘The Civil Service Commission had received 6,000 applications for the examination for substitute clerk and carrier in the Washington post office when the lists were closed, it was an- nounced yesterday. The date of the test has not been decided. From 80 to 100 vacancies are certain to be filled immediately, and this number will be increased if the pend- ing 40-hour-work-week legislation goes through. While doubt was expressed that any women would be employed, a number filed for the examination, it was said.

Supreme Court Declares Other Agencies Care for Needy. Declaring other agencies are now caring for the needy in Washington, the Citizens’ Relief Association of the District has filed a petition for dis- solution in the District Supreme Court. The association was incorporated in 1901, and has since been engaged in collecting money for the benefit of needy persons not sufficiently cared for by other agencies in Washington. The petition, filed by Evan H. ‘Tucker, Walter 8. Ufford and Harry G. Meem, says that for some time past the needs of the class to which this charity administered have been and now are otherwise met. The associa- tion, the petition said, has only £505.66 on hand at this time.
