Foreign Policy Stated On
Visit to Kingston Re:
fuse to Accept Twists
of Secret Diplomacy
By WILLIAM B. ARDERY
KINGSTON. Ont., Aug. 18. (fP)
President Roosevelt said today citi
zens of the United States "will not
stand Idly by" If Canada Is threat
ened by foreign aggression.
The president made this frank foi
elgn policy statement In an address
In the stadium of Queens university
here.
Beside him were Premier Mac
Kenzle King of Canada end Lieut -Gov.
Albert Matthews of Ontario.
Mr. Roosevelt repeatedly empha
sized a strong- bond of friendship
exists between Canada and the United
States.
Met by Premier.
The president was met at the
Kingston station by Premier King
and other Canadian officials. Mr
Rooseve!,t left his train between a
double column -of red-coated Can
adian Royal Mounted police.
"We as good neighbors are .true
friends," the president told his ap
plauding audience, "because we re
fuse to accept the twists of secret
diplomacy, because we settle our dis
putes by consultation and because
we discuss our common problems In
the spirit of the common good."
The president stood on a canopy
covered platform on the edge of the
stadium playing field. , He was sur
rounded by Canadian' officials at
tired in formal morning clothes.
When the president reached that
section of his address asserting that
Americans-would not stand Idly by
If Canada were threatened, there wa
prolonged applause.
No Longer Isolated.
He added. "We In the Americas are
nn longer a far away continent, to
which the eddies of controversies
beyond the seas could bring no In
terest or no harm."
"Instead, we In the Americas have
become a consideration to every prop
aganda office and every general ataff
beyond the seas. .
"The Dominion of Canada la part
of the sisterhood of the British em
pire. I give you assurance that the
people of the United States will not
stand Idly by If domination of Can
adian soil Is threatened byany othe
emplre." The president, speaking only two
days after Secretary Hull's call for a
seven-point program to bring about
world peace, spoke In vigorous terms
about "wanton brutality" and "un
democratic regimentation" by a gov
ernment. He did not, however, name any
foreign nation.
Through Mr. Roosevelt's address
ran the theme civilization and edu
cation transcend international bor
ders, and the Americas now are large
ly responsible for maintaining the
tradition of a free Interchange of
ideas between nations.
The occasion of the president's
talk was his acceptance of an hon
orary degree POM Queens university.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18. IJP)
State department officials interpret
ed President Roosevelt's speech t
Kingston. Canada, today as an exten
sion of the Monroe doctrine to Can
ada. Hitherto the famous doctrine has
been Interpreted as applying solely
to the Latin-American republics. It
states the United States determina
tion to oppose aggression by an out
side power in the western hemi
sphere. When the doctrine was originally
stated by President Monroe Decem
ber 3, 1633. Canada waa merely a col
ony of Great Britain. The declare
tlon excluded the colonies already
established In the western heml
sphere by European powers.
Now, however, Canada has become
an Independent dominion, with Its
own foreign office and diplomatic
representatives abroad.

Negro Testifies to Threats
of Death Ride by Dutch
Schultz Gang Unless Pol

NEW YORK, Aug. 18. (AP) A
dramatlo story of "death ride" threats
by members of the Dutch Schultz
mob, In taking over control of the
multl-mllllon dollar policy racket,
was told In supreme court today by
Wilfred Brunder, 43, a West Indies
negro.
Testifying In the racket conspiracy
trial of James J. (Jimmy) Hlnca,
Tammany district leader, Brunder
told how hla partner In a Harlem
policy "bank." Fred McLaughlin, was
threatened with death by a carload
of Schultz henchmep when he re
fused to turn over his policy busi
ness to the mob.
Threats by Gnus
"I was quitting the racket," Brun
der said, "and I told the mob that
what was left belonged to Fred Mc
Laughlin. "We are coming out of a shop
when a car rolls up with Abe Lan
dau, who then told McLaughlin:
"You've got to kick In that busi
ness. You want to live don't you.
You want to live to ride In that
car, don't you?"
Brunder quoted McLaughlin as re
plying: "I am going to live to die In that
car. I have lived through the World
war and I am going to continue liv
ing to ride In that car and I am
not giving you any business."
Brunder sold shortly afterwards ho
"left town" and went to Detroit and
then to Washington: D. O., to escape
the mob's wrath. It was not brought
out what happened to McLaughlin.
Earlier. Brunder had testified that
when he came out of prison In 1033,
he learned the the Schultz mob was
"moving In" on the game.
Had Monopoly
He said another Harlem policy
"banker," Joe "Spasm" Ison, told
htm Schultz had squeezed out small
Individual operators.
"Schulta has got a cold monopoly."
Brunder quoted Ison as telling him.
As Brunder began his testimony,
Defense Atty. Lloyd Paul Stryker In
terrupted with froquent objectlona.
Leaping to his feet the tall de
fense counsel called loudly:
"I object to It as Incompetent,
irrevelant and Immaterial . . . not
germane to the Issue . . . hearsay
, no foundation laid . . . not
In the presence of the defendant
, no foundation to establish that
It was In furtherance of any matter
which might In any wise render It

When he had finished, out of

dryly:
"Objection overruled."
