(AP) Elliott Roosevelt said to night he believed the United States, by remaining neutral, "need lose nothing in foreign trade, and that, . in fact, it should be possible for this, country to add to its export business." .The president's son, in a radio O- broadcast (MBS) urged strength- ening pi unity among the nations of the western hemisphere. "It would be gratifying," he said, "if the United States were looked upon by the South Ameri can countries as an elder brother. but actually our Influence among those states has been on the wane for the last 10 years. Those coun tries have been weaned away by foreign agents." Roosevelt averred we should direct the attention of the people away from the sordid conflict in Europe and guide it toward gain ing the confidence and good-will of the countries to the south of us." He suggested an informal ex change of business representa tives between the 'two Americas, military cooperation and greater attention by news gathering or ganizations to "the attitude of Latin American countries toward us." A carefully built structure of cooperation in the western con tinents, he said, would make the Monroe doctrine a "vital" instru ment.

US Neutrality Is 1 Lindbergh Advice (Continued from page 1) during the war, we must stay in them in time of peace as well. It is madness to send our soldiers to be killed as we did in the last war if we turn the couvse of peace over to the greed, the fear, and the in trigue of European nations. We must either keep out of European wars entirely, or stay in European affairs permanently. Versailles Boundaries Blamed For Outbreak "Arbitrary boundaries can only be maintained by strength of arms. The treaty of Versailles either had to be revised as time passed, or England and France, to be successful, had to keep Ger many weak by force. Neither pol icy was followed; Europe wav-l ered back and forth between the two. As a result another war was begun, a war which is likely to be far more prostrating than the last, a. war which will again kill off the best youth of Europe, a war which may even lead to the end of our western civilization." Since 1918, he said, a genera tion has passed, Europe has not yet recovered before plunging in to another war, and America Is still paying" for her part In the last conflict.
