His words, gravely spoken, gave

Germany and ' Italy. ! the United

on French, British or Netherlands

Hull speke at an 4 open after
noon session in Cuba s great
marble capital following a closed
morning session ; at which com
missions were set up to deal with
vital problems of hemisphere ' de
fense and economy.
Continental Defense
Study Is Launched :
: At i the morning session the i
United States took a plaee on the
Imp or taut peace commission
which : is -to canvass the whole
(Question of continental defense.
Describing the war's disloca
tion of normal trade and the
growth of opposite trading meth
ods, .Hull reaffirmed his , faith In
liberal trade principles and urged
the republics to develop these.
But he recognized the need for
a transition to methods them
selves bordering on barter and
restrictive system to bulwark
the hemisphere's economy against
regimented . devices.
Disposition of stagnant sur
pluses piling up in all American
countries as a result, of the loss
of. European markets was de
scribed as the most pressing
problem. .
The delegates greeted warmly
President Roosevelt's recommen
dation to congress for aid in dis
position of Latin American sur
plus commodities through the export-import
bank.
Dr. Leo S. Rowe, director-
general of the , Pan American
union, described as "good news
which comes at the right psy
chological moment" Mr. Roose
velt's action in seeking a half
billion dollar increase in the
bank's lending capacity for this
purpose.
Ambassador Jose Santiago Rod
riguez, the Veneguelan delegate,
said the president's action was "a
magnificent gesture."
The Bolivian, Chilean and Ar
gentine delegates likewise ex
pressed firm approval of the
presidential action.
Argentina Spokesman
Makes Reservations
Speaking for Argentina, Leo-
poldo Melo said that Argentina
identified herself with the future
destiny of America but warned
the delegates that they must not
"pretend to dictate f ormulas ' for
conduct entirely predicated on the
future. f
He said such a course would be
in vain because of rapid changes
which might .bring about a situa
tion in which the nations of
America would find themselves
proceeding on a "conjectural hy
poethesis."
Melo told the delegates they
should remember the custom of
this hemisphere always has been
to treat "all nations of the world"
with equality.

Letters Show Employers to Cooperate in
Continued Employment: of Guardsmen
Oregon employers have taken kindly. -to the nrgineof
Maior General Geonre A. White that national guardsmen, if
called into training by congressional action, be restored to
their present jobs on their return,
according to a large number 01
letters received at military bead
quarters here.
General 1 White recently issued
a statement stressing the import
ance of 'the proposed defense
training for national guardsmen
and asked their employers to co
operate. "We are more than gratified
with the attitude of the employ
era," "Brigadier General Thomas
K. Rilea declared yesterday. "Let
ters received from these employ
ers Indicate that all guardsmen
called into service will hold their
jobs regardless" of the length of
the training period."- -
Military headquarters predicted
that the bill providing : for , in
definite training of national
guardsmen would be approved . by
congress n6t later than next week
and that a etntl. mobilisation
would be - ordered prior to Au
gust '4. -- 1
General White's recent state
ment called attention to the lack
of " cooperation - on the ' part of
many, employers following the
World war. -
