LOS ANGELES, Calif, December g —Arguments end today in the Pa- eific Mutual Life Insurance Co. case, and attorneys predicted Superior Judge Henry M. Willis will give & decision by tomorrow.

BY tLe Assoclatea Press. HOLLYWOOD, December 2.—Of- eials of Twentieth Century-Fox Studios were the first today to announce a Christmas bonus for employes, but other major companies were expected to broadcast more good news momen- tarily. A $500,000 “present” will be divided among non-contract workers at Twen- tieth Century. Each employe who has been on the pay roll for more than a year probably will receive the equiva- lent of two weeks’ salary. Stars, executives, directors and other eontract employes will not share in the bonus, it was stated. At M-G-M studios the decision on & bonus for workers will await the ar- rival of Nicholas Schenck this week.

RESTAURANT THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Text of Roosevelt’s Buenos Aires Speech President Calls for ‘All Americas to Unite for Peace In Face of War-bent World. B the Assoclated Press. BUENOS AIRES, December 2.— The text of President Roosevelt’s to the Inter-American Peace Conference yesterday follows: Members of the American family ©of nations: On the happy occasion of the convening of this conference I address you thus, because mem- bers of a family need no introduc- tion or formalities when, in pur- suance of excellent custom, they meet together for their common good. As a family we appreciate the hospitality of our host, President Justo, and the government and people of Argentina, and all of us are happy that to our friend Dr. Saavedra Lamas has come the well-deserved award of the Nobel Prize for great service in the cause of world peace. Three years ago the American family met in nearby Montevideo, the great capital of the Republic of Uruguay. They were dark days. A shattering depression, un- paralleled in its intensity, held us together with the rest of the world m its grasp. And on our own continent a tragic war was raging between two of our sister republics. Yet, at that conference there was born, not only hope for our com- mon future, but a greater measure of mutual trust between the Ameri- can democracies than had ever existed before. In this Western Hemisphere the night of fear has been dispelled. Many of the in- tolerable burdens of economic de- pression have been lightened and, due in no small part to our com- mon efforts, every nation of this hemisphere is today at peace with its neighbors. This is no conference to Iorm alliances, to divide the spoils of war, to partition countries, to deal with human beings as though they were the pawns in a game of chance. Our purpose, under happy auspices, is to assure the con- tinuance of the hlessing of peace. Montevideo Parley Results Praised. ‘Three years ago, recognizing that a crisis was being thrust upon the New Werld, with splendid un- animity our 21 republics set an example to the whole world by proclaiming a new spirit, a new day in the affairs of this hemis- phere. ‘While the succeeding period has justified in full measure all that was said and done at Montevideo, it has unfortunately emphasized the seriousness of the threat to peace among other nations. Events elsewhere have served only to strengthen our horror of war and all that war means. The men, women and children of the Amer- icas know that warfare in ‘this day and age means more than the mere clash of armies: they see the destruction of cities and of farms— they foresee that children and grandchildren, if they survive, will stagger for long years not only under the burden of poverty, but also amid the threat of broken so- clety and the destruction of con- stitutiona} government. I am profoundly convinced that the plain people everywhere in the civilized world today wish to live in peace one with another. And still leaders and governments re- sort to war. Truly, if the genius of mankind that has invented the weapons of death cannot discover the means of preserving peace, cive ilization as we know it lives in an evil day. But we cannot now, especially in view of our common purpose, ac- cept any defeatist attitude. We have learned by hard experience that peace is not to be had for the mere asking: that peace, like other great privileges, can be obtained only by hard and painstaking ef- fort. We are here to dedicate our- selves and our countries to that work. You who assemble today carry with you in your deliberations the hopes of millions of human beings in other less fortunate lands. Be- yond the ocean we see continents rent asunder by old hatreds and new fanaticlsm. We hear the de- mand that injustice and inequality be corrected by resorting to the sword and not by resorting to reason and peaceful justice. We hear the cry that new markets can be achieved only through con- quest. We read that the sanctity of treaties between nations is dis- regarded. We know, too, that vast armae ments are rising on every side and that the work of creating them employs men and women by the millions. It is natural, however, for us to conclude that such em- ployment is false employment, that it builds no permanent structures and creates no consumers goods for the maintenance of a lasting prosperity. We know that nations guilty of these follies inevitably face the day either when their weapons of destruction must be used against their neighbors or when an unsound economy like & house of cards will fall apart. “War Elsewhere Would Affect Us.” In either case, even though the Americas become involved in no war, we must suffer too. The mad- ness of a great war in other parts of the world would affeet us and threaten our good in & hundred Deep in the jungle fastness of Ceniral America amid the ruins of a lost city... Lawrence T. K. Griswold {right} has headed expeditions to Tibet, Komodo, the Amazon, and the lost cities of the ancient Mayas. He lists Camels as one of the necessities on the trail. “Getting good water and food is a daily problem,” says Griswold. “At best, eating in the jungle is no picnic. I've found that smoking Camels—no matter where, what, or when I eat—is an aid to my digestion. Camels ease tension and give me a ‘lift’ in energy when I need it most. After a day of tough peril, I look forward to the sense of ease Camels bring me. Camels never get on my nerves.” ways. And the economic collapse of any nation or nations must of necessity harm our own prosperity. Can we, the republics of the New ‘World, help the Old World to avert the catastrophe which impends? Yes, I am confident that we can. PFirst, it is our duty by every honorable means to prevent any future war among ourselves. This can best be. done through the strengthening of the processes of oonstitutional democratic govern- ment—to make these processes conform to the modern need for unity and efficiency and, at the same time, preserve the individual liberties of our citizens. By so doing, the people of our nations, unlike the people of many nations who live under other forms of gov- ernment, can and will insist on their intention to live in peace. . Thus will democratic government be justified throughout she world. In the determination to live at peace among ourselves we in the Americas make it at the same time clear that we stand shoulder to shoulder in our final determination that others who, driven by war madness or land hunger might seek to commit acts of aggression against us, will ind a hemisphere wholly prepared to consult to- gether for our mutual safety and our mutual good. I repeat what I said in speaking before the Con- gress and the Supreme Court of Brazil, “Each one of us has learned the glories of independence. Let each one of us learn the glories of interdependence.” Secondly, and in addition to the perfecting of the mechanism of peace, we can strive even more strongly than in the past to pre- vent the creation of those condi- tions which give rise to war. Lack of social or political justice within the borders of any nation is al- ways cause for concern. Through democratic processes we can strive to achieve for the Americas the highest possible standard of living conditions for all our people. Men and women blessed with political freedom, willing to work and able to find work, rich enough to main- tain their families and to educate their children. contented with their lot in life and on terms of friend- ship with their neighbors, will de- fend themselves to the utmost, but will never consent to take up arms for a war of conquest. Erecting of Trade Barriers Deplored. Interwoven with these problems is the further self-evident fact that the welfare and prosperity of each of our nations depends in large part on the benefits derived from commerce among themselves and with other nations, for our present civilization rests on the basis of an international exchange of commodities. Every nation of the world has felt the evil effects of recent efforts to erect trade bar-~ riers of every known kind. individual citizen has suffered from them. It is no accident that which proclaim most loudly that they require war as an instrument of their policy. It is no accident that attempts to be self-sufficient have led to falling standards for their people and to ever-increasing loss of the democratic ideals in a mad race to pile armament on armament. It is no accident that because of these suicidal policies and the suffering attending them, many of their people have come to believe with despair that the price of war seems less than the price of peace. This state of affairs we must refuse to accept with every instinct of defense, with every exhortation of enthusiastic hope, with every use of mind and skill. I cannot refrain here from re- iterating my gratification that in this, as in 50 many other achieve- ments, the American republicd have given a salutary example to the world. The resolution adopted at the inter-American conference at Montevideo, indorsing the prin- ciples of libera]l trade policies, has shone forth ltke a beacon in the storm of economic madness which has been sweeping over the entire world during these later years. Truly, if the principles there em- bodied find still wider applications in your deliberations, it would be a notable contribution to the cause of peace. For my own part I have done all in my power to sustain the consistent efforts of my Sece retary of State in negotiating agreements for reciprocal trade, and even though the individual re- sults may seem small, the total of them is significant. These policies in recent weeks have received the approval of the people of the United States, and they have, I am sure, the sympathy of the other na- tions here assembled. There are many other causes for ‘war—among them long-festering feuds, unsettled frontiers, terri- torial rivalries; but these sources of danger which still exist in the Americas, I am thankful to say, are not only few in number, but already on the way to peaceful ad- judication. While the settlement of such controversies may neces- sarily involve adjustments at home or in our relations with our neigh- bors which may appear to involve material sacrifice, let no man or woman forget that there is no profit in war. Sacrifices in the cause of peace are infinitely small compared with the holocaust of war. Peace comes from the spirit, and must be grounded in faith. In seeking peace, perhaps we can best begin by proudly affirming the faith of the Americas; the faith in freedom and its fulfillment which has proved a mighty fortress be- C, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1836. yond reach of successful attack in half of the world. Freedom and Security For the Individual. That faith arises from & com- mon hope and a common design given us by our fathers in differing form, but with & single aim—free- dom and security of the individ- ual, which has become the foun- dation of our peace. If then, by making war in our midst impossible, and if within ourselves and among, ourselves we can give greater freedom and ful- fillment to the individual lives of of representative government will have justified the high hopes of the liberating fathers. Democracy 1s still the hope of the world. If we in our generation can continue its successful application in the Americas, it will spread and super- sede other methods by which men are governed and which seem to most of us to run counter to our ideals of human liberty and human progress. Three centuries of history sowed the seeds which grew into our nations; the fourth century saw those nations become equal and free and brought us to a common system of constitutional govern- ment; the fifth century is giving to us a common meeting ground of mutual help and understanding. Our hemisphere has at last come of age. We are here assembled to show it united to the world. We took from our ancestors s great dream. We here offer it back as a great unified reality. Finally, in expressing our faith of the Western World, let us af- firm: That we maintain and defend the democratic form of constitu- tional government. That through such government we can more greatly provide a wider distribution of culture, of education, of %hought and of free expression. That through it we can obtain & greater security of life for our citizens and a more equal oppor- tunity for them to prosper. That through it we can best foster commerce and the exchange of art and science between na- tions; that through it we can avoid the rivalry of armament, avert hatred and encourage good will and true justice. ‘That through it we offer hope for peace and a more abundant life to the peoples of the whole world. But this faith of the Western World will not be complete if we fail to affirm our faith in God. In the whole history of mankind, far back into the dim past before man knew how to record thoughts or events, the human race has been distinguished from other forms of life by the existence—the fact— of religion. Periodic attempts to deny God have always come and will 2lways come to naught. In the constitutions and in the practice of our nations is the right | of freedom of religion. But this ideal, these words, presupposé & be- lief and & trust in God. The faith of the therefore, lies in the apirit. The system, the sisterhood of the Americas is impregnable so long as her nations maintain that apirit. In that faith and spirlt we will_ have peace over the Western' World. In that faith and spirit we will all watch and guard our hemisphere. In that faith and spirit may we also, with God's help, offer hope to our brethrem overseas. Do This For a Cold .
