UNITY OF NATIONS URGED BY HULL Believes It Is Time They Pull Together for Common Good." % the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 6.—Secretary Hull believes it is time that the nations of the world begin pulling together for the common good. There is only one way to prevent a military explosion or an economic collapse, he said last night in accept- ing the award of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation in recognition of his ef- forts toward international peace and prosperity. “It is,” he explained, “for the na- tions which today bend their major efforts toward preparation for war to join with those other nations that are intent on a policy of peace, in & determined and concerted effort to rebuild international political and economic relationships * * *.” Unhealthy Flush of Fever. Stressing his maxim that peace depends on friendliness, fairness, equality and the “maximum practica=- ble of freedom in international eco- nomic relations,” the State De- partment head said the creation of big armaments “gives the impression of intensive economic activity.” “But that activity,” he asserted, “has the unhealthy flush of fever. It destroys rather than builds. It sows the seeds of disaster, either in the form of a military explosion or an economic collapse.” “Animosities and resentment in the sphere of commercial and finan- cial relations must bear an important share of responsibility for the depth of economic distress into which some nations have been plunged,” he said, as he urged extension of the govern- fnent’s present policy of substituting trade agreements for trade barriers. Prom London, where an interna- tional sugar conference opened to- day, came word of a possible con- oerted world effort to combat barriers to trade. Acting at the instigation of France and Britain, Belgium started a sur- wvey of European economic conditions with a view to exploring how it may prove possible to reduce international $rade barriers, in a manner Secretary Hull urged here. Type of Peace Wilson Urged. *“No outcome of an armed conflict ®an possibly bring the nations con- perned greater benefits than they can gerive from a peaceful and fruitful #xchange of goods and services, de- weloping in a liberal spirit upon a Dasis of fair dealing and mutual re- gard for each other's needs and wights,” he said. “It was this type of economic peace $hat Woodrow Wilson urged upon the world. The acceptance by the nations Pt the basic ideas which underlie it is even more desperately needed today when the dark clouds of a possible yew war or of another economic eqtn.sr.rophe gather ominously on the Secretary Hull said the world's eco- nomic outlook brightened after the #conomic conference of 1927 at Ge- neva, but added that, “immediately following our national election of 1928 the dominant political and eco- nomic forces in this country em- barked upon a drastic upward revision of our tariff rates and an extension of other trade restrictions.” “This process continued through the year 1929 and the early part of 1930. It served as a signal which un- leashed the forces of extreme pro- tectionism all over the world.” Cause of Depression. Referring to the growth of tariff barriers as “the war after the war,” the Secretary asserted that “person- ally, I am convinced that it was the most important single cause of the great depression.” The widow of Woodrow Wilson and the mother of President Roosevelt looked on as Hamilton Fish Armstrong, president of the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, presented to Secretary Hull the 15-inch bronze plaque en- graved, “To Cordell Hull, Secretary of State of the United States, unremit- ting in his labor to remove the eco- nomic barriers to peace.” Others to whom the foundation has presented its award include Viscount Cecil, the late Elthu Root and Presi- dent Thomas G. Masaryk of Czecho- slovakia. SUGAR CONFEREES STUDY STATISTICS |=2 Parley Settles Down to Private Sessions—Expected to Last Three Weeks. B the Associated Press. LONDON, April 6—The World Bugar Conference, designed to stabil- 1ze an industry beset by surpluses, set- tled down today into private sessions of delegates and a study of statistics. Delegates from 22 participating eountries estimated the sessions would last at least three weeks. One of the main problems confront- ing the conference will be determina- tion of conditions and requirements on the world market during the first year of any period which would be covered by & production and market- ing agreement. Another issue that may prove more diffioult is the allocation of tonnage among contracting parties. The delegates particularly are in- terested in raising world sugar prices to a remunerative level through an agreement flexible enough to permit adjustments to meet both increases and decreases in world requirements. ‘While economists attending the ses- slons are vitally interested in the sugar agreement, they also hope to profit by an interchange of private views on & host of interrelated sub~- Jects. 5 —_—— ‘The value of sponges sold in Florida Iast year was more than a million dollars, ——— Psychic Message Council 1100 Twelfth 8t N.W.

MARACAIBO, Venezuela, March 10 (by courier from the Perija Moun- tains)—When we arrived in Ma- chiques, the last outpost of civiliza- tion, a government official, there for the purpose of buying cattle, urged me to go with him on a trip to some of the pearby ranches. This opportunity greatly pleased me, for I saw in it my chance to feel out the situation among those closest to the Indians. We toured from barn- yard to field to barnyard in an ox cart and met the ranchers. Each was told that my partner and I planned to enter the mountains and there was evident amazement in each face. The oxen were pulled to & halt at one place beside a river and it was pointed out to me that, last year, two tribes of Indians from neighboring valleys before us had waged a battle on that spot. These two tribes are still at odds over something. I wondered at the time why the In- dians had come down from their haunts high in the mountain valleys to stage their war, but later, as I climbed to the homes of one of those tribes, I saw the answer. To cross the spur of the mountain separating the valleys would have been a tre- mendous task, and they would meet in the thickness of jungles, so both tribes descended their respective val- leys and these converged where we were sitting in the oxcart. Found English Missionary. It seemed that no rational being would set off to measure the heads of those belligerent savages and, in fact, the venture did turn on the appear- ance and co-operation of one whom I consider a most irrational man. He was a young Englishman, who, some five years or so ago, took onto himself the spiritual salvation of the savages of the Perija Mountains. He was now at the village for the first time in two years and was about to leave for Maracaibo. He had not been to the Indians on this trip, but was planting mulberry seedlings in Machiques for subsequent transplant- ing in the mountains for the Indians, looking forward to their producing silk some day. I had often heard and read of such self-sacrificing people and became in- terested in the man as a study in him- self. He was soft-spoken and gentle, with an extremely delicate sensitive- ness. He was a bundle of contradic- tions, craving the comforts of life, which he apparently could well afford, and inflicting upon himself much needless discomfort and punishment. But to us the principal question was: Did he know the Indians and did they know him? What was still more im- portant, was he liked or respected or tolerated by the Indians? Could he serve as & password for me? He agreed to go up the valley to the Indians and seemed to have no concern whatsoever about the savages being disagreeable to the white man. A Way Is Opened. Thus the way was opened for at least an effort. I must admit that I was “in a fog” about the whole mat- ter. How much of this talk about the hostility of the Indians was of the imagination? Was our missionary friend crazy? He was not attached to any church or mission organiza- tion, but was a free-lance soul saver. In this business of soul saving he was sincere. This I now know, for he gently, very gently, and with refined delicacy, attempted the saving of my soul along with the souls of the sav- ages. The missionary and I agreed to go to the Indians the following morning. That evening a man Was shot and there was great concern in the town, for the Indians were at it again. Anxious ones came later to our dobe hut to tell us all about it and urge us not to go. For some reason I wasn't greatly concerned, for I was now rely- ing on my missionary. His reaction would guide me. At 3 the next morning I was up and packing for the trip when in walked my friend, the government man who was a cattle buyer. With him was the “hefy civil,” the chief civil magistrate of the village. They urged me not to go among the Indians for it was dan- gerous. They sincerely begged me not to go, confiding to me that my mis- nonnrygummquecr,mpmn dly. They lett, however, with no deol- sion from me and soon my missionary arrived, complacent and courteous and gentle. I asked him if he had heard any alarming news that night and he replied that he had “retired early and pistnibedt STORAGE PACKING MOVING Call NOrth 3343 SMITH’S TRANSFER AND STORAGE CO. 1313 You Street N.W.

He replied, “Isn’t that a shame? Really, I am sorry about that.” We secured a horse for me and a pack mule for all our duffie at & ranch. Then we shoved off to another ranch, where we were to get a riding mount for the missionary. This was a trek of some two hours, and, before reaching there, my friend convinced me that he preferred to walk alto- gether and then suggested that we should take along a peon for handling our duffie mule. He knew a peon (a half-breed who knew the Indians) who would go for five bolivars ($1.25) a day. Off to the Mountains. 8o our party was soon three, and off we went toward the mountains, leaving the trading post and outlying ranches behind. Before us the jungle- covered mountains slowly drew closer. About noon we left the lowlands | of high grasses, hebacious bushes | and terriffic heat with high humidity | and entered the forest jungle on an | Indian trail close by the Rio Negro. | The mountains rose suddenly, and for | the next two hours the trail was| deflant with its precipitous stretches | both up and down. I began to see & reason for my friend’s preferring to | walk, for the jungle growth crowded close and low and boulders and fallen trees littered the ground. By evening we had reached an altitude of nearly 4,000 feet above sea level and decided to make camp. This was simple. The missionary brought nothing, the peon brought a mat to lie on and I had two blankets, a thin, light mattress and a camp another—two in all. ‘They were lights of Machiques! We had traveled due west and now Machiques lay beneath us some 20 miles away. We were in the Indian lands, and should have en- countered them by now. These sav- ages no doubt often sat where we now sat and watched the flickering lights of civilization. What did it mean to them? It meant to me that the impossible existed here; that for generations sav- agery had looked down upon civiliza- tion without changing & bit. In fact, the people of the outpost of civiliza- tion were bent to savagery more than the Indians took on the ways of the white man. ‘The wandering peon went to bed. I gave my mattress to my missionary who was badly bruised from the rough day's climb. He had never been over the trail before. He had sald he had, often. He wasn't lying; he was a bundle of contradictions. I slept fit- fully. I had thought tropical jungles were noisy with beasts and birds at night, but from the occasional hoot of an owl, all was silent. There was no wind and there were no flies or mos- quitoes.

Meanwhile, the mountain-top was being subjected to repeated attack by government bombing planes. The three who escaped to the gov- ernment lines said that of the 1,600 persons, only 450 were combatants. The rest of the harassed mountain dwellers comprise families of soldiers, priests and civilians, including mem- bers of the pre-war aristocracy from Jaen, Andujar and other places. The original number has been in- creased by 21 births during the long siege. A force of civil guards from the city of Jaen reached the lofty stronghold by a ruse early in the war.
