WOODRING TERMS PEAGE FIRST DUTY redicts Wider “Era of Good Feeling” in Address at Yorktown. WY the Assoclated Press. i YORKTOWN, Va, October 19.— Speaking a short distance from the wpot where 8,000 British regulars un- der Cornwallis surrendered, Secretary of War Harry H. Woodring declared tdday that the “first and foremost duty of a government is to keep its people at peace with the world.” * “This does not mean supine sub- fission to aggression,” he said in an 4ddress at exercises on the 155th an- niversary of the victory at Yorktown. “On the contrary, it means such a résolute defense of its sovereign rights as to discourage aggression. J«America has no quarrel with any Bation. Our country has been so jlentifully endowed by a benign vidence that we covet no territory, ud wealth, no possession of any other eountry. We aim to follow the in- spired advice of the great Washing- fon who urged friendly relations withq all nations, entangling alliances with Aone. While we carefully avoid en- ngling political commitments, we are always ready for helpful co-opera- ton. *+ * * . * “Fortunately we have a man in the White House who hates war with every fiber of his soul” Secretary Woodring said. “Thank God, he will never foster any act of aggression Which will send your son or mine to war. His is not a purely negative policy. By positive action he has promoted our warm friendship with every nation of the Western Hemi- Ehere. " “In recent weeks our prompt action {n co-operation with other powers has contributed greatly to the stabilization ©f currencies, unsettled for nearly a decade. In the wake of this stabili- Eation has come a lessening of inter- frational tension, a cessation of trade wars and a pronounced trend toward world peace. If the forces now at work are permitted to continue un- interrupted, we may confidently look forward to another expanded and en- larged ‘era of good feeling.’ . “For ourselves and for the future of ‘America, we can render no more fit- fing tribute to the brave patriots who won liberty for America on this field than to unite our efforts with those of our great Presidents in preserving the peace. “As Secretary of War it is my duty tinder our Commander in Chief to prepare to defend the Nation. But make no mistakes—our preparations are only for defense. We plan no aggression. We prepare only to re- alst it.” Y Sl ks S T 13 \7andenberg “* ‘(Continued From First Page.) o omum — present and that his quotations dated | back to 1932 and 1933. “The vice of the situation is that the interference with the broadcast robs the complainants of the chance to Enow what they are talking about.

Vandenberg's interrupted “debate” with the recorded voice of President Roosevelt. In what Executive Vice President Edward Klauber described as “a sud- den and hurried decision by our Chi- cago office on Saturday night,” the broadcast went on over part of the network, particularly Western outlets, while some Eastern stations were cut off the chain.

Declaring “the cause of democracy appears to be lost in Spain” regard- lass of the outcome of the civil war, Juan Terrasa, commercial attache of the Spanish Embassy, today for- warded his resignation to the Madrid government and proclaimed his sup- port of the Spanish rebel Fascists. Terrasa, the last Spanish diplomat to continue to hold office here through the many weeks of the revolt, said, “if some of the officials and representatives of the Madrid government still have any hope for democracy in Spain, I fear they have been duped.” “Indeed, I confess,” he declared, “that I was similarly deceived until the receipt a few days ago of reliable information from Spain which left no doubt in my mind. The fight has be- come a struggle between anarchism and fascism and there being no possibility whatever of adopting a middle course, I am of the opinion that the solution of Spain's future lies in the hands of Gen. Franco and his Fascists. Further resistance can result only in the slaughter of many more thou- sands of innocent or misguided people. “I only hope,” Terrasa said, “that Catalonia, where I was born, will real- ize the urgent necessity of co-operat- ing with the rest of Spain in a com- mon effort to crush the seeds of an- archism which is even more vital at present than the cause of Catalonian autonomy, for which I have always stood.” Terrasa is 32 years old and a native PRESCRIPTIONS PETWORTH ARM GOOD-BYE, NONDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1936 of Barcelona, Catalonian capital.
