LOGAN 1S AGAINST FOREIGN MATCHES Government Secrets Are at Stake, Says Senator, Commending Ban. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt's ban on mar- riages of American diplomatic officers to foreigners was commended today by Senator Logan, Democrat, of Ken- tucky. Logan, a member of the Civil Bervice Committee, said “it obviously ‘would not be good policy for too many of our foreign representatives to marry citizens of other nations.” Such mixed marriages might “result in giving away some secrets which ought not to be given to the general public,” he suggested. The order issued yesterday forbids such marriages without the consent of the Secretary of State. Would End Courtships. The presidential edict, it was be- leved in authoritative quarters, will cause the breakup of a number of courtships in which American foreign service officers stationed abroad un- doubtedly are now engaged. ‘The attitude assumed by some was: “What girl would want to continue & romantic association with an Ameri- can Government representative when ghe now knows that the possibility of marriage is extremely slight?” Although the executive order implies that the Secretary of State might grant his permission for marriage in some cases, it was considered certain that many would be denied. The circular accompanying the or- der noted that 127 of the 683 foreign service officers already are married to persons of foreign birth, adding this revealed “a state of affairs that can- not be regarded with aprobation.” 45 Officers Wed British. Statistics showed that of the 127 officers who have been married to for- eign-born women, 45 chose wives of | British nationality, including do- minions; 22 selected French brides, 11 German, 10 Russian and the 39 others wives of 19 different nationali- ties. Of these, 51 wives acquired Ameri- can citizenship through marriage: 12 others have been naturalized as Amer- fean citizens since marriage: naturalized before marriage, and 63 still remain aliens. A hasty scanning of the policies of other countries showed today that the ruling against marriages of diplo- mats and aliens already is in effect in some degree in the services of sev- eral other nations. Japan and Brazil definitely forbid such matches. Italy requires that the alien husband or wife agree to become an Italian national before permission for such marriage is given. The French diplomatic service reserves the right to pass on individual cases.

Of prime importance, the deleg:ten! said, was President Roosevelt’s com- bined warning to the Old World and appeal to the New. “We stand shoulder to shoulder in our final determination that others, | who, driven by war madness or land hunger, might seek to commit an act | of aggression against us, will find this hemisphere wholly prepared to consult together for our mutual safe- ty and our mutual good.” | Attends Gennerich Rites. | This morning President Roosevelt sorrowfully attended a simple funeral service for his bodyguard, August Gennerich, who died early yesterday in a restaurant of a heart attack. | United States Secretary of State T Yeggs Crack Wrong Safe—Miss $1,000 Yeggmen who broke into the Moyer Coal Co. office at 6301 Blair road early today succeeded in opening a small safe containing only papers, but failed to crack a larger safe in which about $1,000 in cash was kept, according to police.

When else- | where this ideal is suffering a crisis, | he believes in strengthening its insti- tutions to salvage American civiliza- tion and to give an example to the world.” Carlos Salazar, delegate from Gua- temala: “The most interesting part of Mr. Roosevelt's address was that in which | he expressed respect for the sov- | ereignty of small nations. This rad- ical change is notable in North Amer- ican foreign policy since Mr. Roose- velt came into office.” President Justo proposed that the Inter-American Conference attempt to co-ordinate American peace ma- chinery with the League of Nations, | urging improvement of relations be- tions.

The draft of a proposal to establish | an inter-American court of justice, | which at the start may be limited to Central America, was completed last | night at a meeting of several Central | American delegates. The proposal would set up a tri- bunal for conciliation and arbitration of any question which might lead to a dispute among the countries sup- porting the Court. It was discussed with American del- egates en route to Buenos Aires, who gave partial approval to the sugges- tion, some sources said. As the applause faded into silence five minutes after President Roosevelt rose to address the opening of the Inter-American Conference, a voice rang out: “Down with imperialism!" Argentine newspapermen identified peace with 50,000,000 signatures de- manding that American governments stay out of war, were expected to ar- rive in the Argentine capital today. The delegation included Mrs. Caro- line O'Day, Democratic Representative from New York; Countess Alaine de Pierrefeu of New Hampshire, Mrs. E. N.

Counseling loyalty to the govern- ment, he said: “If you throw out this other | parties would refuse to assist the King | even the King's stanchest admirers would be sons believed he still was determined | great interest into the newest reper- cussions from the royal romance. Many thought that a bishop’s ref- erence to the monarch’s spiritual “need” and the resultant echoes in the provincial press met with the ministers’ enthusiastic approval, as be- ing in line with their campaign to make the King share their views that the situstion is serious. Seek to Aveid Anger. At the same time, observers em phasized the ministers were trying to “bring the King to his senses,” if possible, without making him angry. What actually is said at cabinet meetings is one of Britain's deepest secrets. Even a special, trusted jani- tor is employed to see there are no leaks. He enters the room after the ministrs leave, carefully collects every scrap of paper from the floor and desk and burns them. The editorial was pegged to the visit of the Duke and Duchess of York to Edinburgh for the St. An- drew's day Masonic banquet and concluded: “This visit of the heir presumptive (to the British throne) encourages speculation as to whether the time may not some day come when his- toric honors may be used again in the crowning of s King of Scotland on the Stone of Destiny.” (Note: The Stone of Destiny is more commonly called the Stone of Scone, and is belleved to have been the frag- ment of rock on which the ancient kings of Ireland, then of Scotland, were crowned. It was removed by King James VI to Westminster Abbey, in London, where it now supports the coronation chair.) Welcome Is Emphasized. The welcome Edinburgh gave the brother and sister-in-law of King Ed- ward was emphasized by the Times,! adding: “Two of King George's sons have | found their brides in ancient Scottish families, to the general satisfaction | of the nation.” Geoffrey Dawson, editor of the Times, declared the editorials in his | paper were “straightforward and con- tain no veiled references to King Ed- ward's private life.” Nevertheless, the London newspa- per—for the fourth time since Novem- ber 24—published an article which could be interpreted as bearing on the friendship between the British ‘ruler and Mrs. Simpson. | AMERICANS PROTEST. | e Reflection on U.

Still another story related that Mrs. Simpson had been confined to her bed for two days by a nervous breakdown. This, it was learned, was scarcely true, since she denied with a small party of friends at a secluded retreat near London last night, and made arrange- ments for a similar party tonight. “The Week,” privately circulated journal, carried a report that King Edward had replied tartly to an “uiti- matum” from the Archbishop of Canterbury and a “threat” from Prime { Minister Baldwin when the heads of ithe church and cabinet “raised the’ [riot act over Mrs. Simpeon.” | “Force” Is Hinted. | Baldwin, said the magazine, has | “put it about” that he could prevent {any one else from forming a govern- ment, and, it was suggested, “force” the abdication of the King. | "“The Week” outlined what it called | the “thundery atmosphere around the throne which broke into a storm yes- | terday.” It added: “The Archbishop of Can- | terbury threatened to refuse the King | ‘communion of the church' if the King announced his intention to mar- Cordell Hull, Ambassador Alexander the heckler as Liborio Justo, son of the | ry his friend, Mrs. Simpson.

After the service was read by Comdr. C. V. Ellis, chaplain of the cruiser Indianapolis, on which Mr. | Roosevelt and Gennerich came to Buenos Aires, the body was taken to| the cruiser for the return journey wi the United States. Late in the morning President Roosevelt conversed with Hull and | Welles for more than an hour. It was| the first extensive conference the | President and his Secretary of State had had during Mr. Roosevelt's visit. They went over subjects which the United States is to propose at the conference and those expected to be | advanced by other delegations. | Then the President was host to 75 persons at luncheon in the main salon of the embassy. They included Presi- dent Justo, members of the Argentine cabinet, Argentine Vice Presidest Julio Roca, Gov. Manuel Fresco of Buenos Aires Province, other' Latin American diplomats and two Ambas- | sadors to Washington, Felipe Espil of | Argentina and Oswaldo Aranha of | Brazil, The first official meeting of the conference will be held tomorrow, when the Steering Committee, com- posed of the chiefs of all delegations, will discuss formal procedure for the forthcoming meetings. The vigorous compliments from the delegates followed a tumultuous re- ception for the two Presidents last night when the conference was con- vened in the stately hall of deputies of the Argentine congressional palace. Secretary Hull termed his superior’s speech “a most effective presentation of the fundamental problems and remedies before this conference.” Soto Del Corral, Colombian foreign minister, said: “Mr. Roosevelt’s speech was admir- able and shows the great faith in de- mocracy of a great President. The most important of his words was his indication of the influence of America in the world peace movement.” Feeling Truly Interpreted. Carlos Concha, chief of the Peruvian delegation, commented: “I have been in the United States many times and know well that North Americans hate war and are truly pacifists. So Mr. Roosevelt fully in- terpreted the American feeling.” Other comment: Miguel Cruchaga Tocornal, chief of the Chilean delegation: “Mr, Roose- velt’s speech was magnificent in form as well as in content. He has clearly outlined the ways of barring war. He is a great democrat, and I am sure that only through. democracy can we achieve what we want and need.” Ramon Zaydin, Cuban delegate: “Mr. Roosevelt and Senor Justo re- enunciated the true principle that the peace of nations at home and abroad rests on the exercise of representative democracy.” Castro Ramirez, delegate from B » out of respect for the father. papers ignored the incident. The gathering was one of the most dramatic in South American history. The great oval-shaped auditorium of of the Chamber of Deputies was packed.
