The embargo provision of the neutrality Uw, he declared, "so aters the historic foreign policy of the United States that it Impairs the peaceful relations of the United States with foreign nations." The "crux" of the Issue, he said, was repeal of the embargo, which forbids shipments of munitions to combatant nations, and a "return to International law." Non-Partlaruhip Urged The president took occasion, too, to renew his plea for non-partlsan-ahtp during the present Interna tional crisis and to reassure the nation of his belief that America could keep from being embroiled In Europe's conflict. "Let no man or group In any walk of life," the president said, "assume exclusive protectorate over the future well-being of America because I conceive that regardless of the party or section the mantle of peace and of patriotism In wide enough to cover us all. "Let no group assume the ex clusive label of the peace 'bloc'. We all belong to it." Mr. Roosevelt added that "in my candid Judgment" the United States would "succeed In these efforts' to keep out of war. Policy Changes Listed When and if the embargo Is scrap ped, the president said there were other phases of policy "reenforclng American safety" that should be con sidered. He listed: Restricting American merchant vessels, so far as possible, from en tering danger tones. Preventing American citizens from traveling on belligerent vessels. Requiring foreign buyers to take transfer of title In this country to commodities bought by belllgerenU. (Cash and carry). Preventing extension of war credits to belligerents. Two other objectives, the chief executive said, have been attained amply undor existing law. These are the regulation of collections of funds in this country for belligerents and the maintenance of a license system covering foreign trade In arms, am munition and Implements of war. Method Not Stipulated The president left to congress, how ever, a choice of methods by which these "safeguards" should be set up "so long as the method chosen will meet the needs of new and changing day to day situations and dangers." "To those who say that this pro gram would Involve a step toward war on our part," the chief executive asserted, "I reply that It offers far greater safeguards than we now pos sess or have ever possessed to pro tect American lives and property from danger. "It Is a positive program for giving safety. This means less likelihood of incidents and controversies which tend to draw us Into conflict, as they did In the last war. "There lies the road to peace." After relating steps already taken to strengthen the nation's defenses, Mr. , Roosevelt said he saw no need for additional legislation nor for further executive action under his proclamation of a limited state of national emergency. Mr. Roosevelt said the executive branch of the government had done Its utmost, within a traditional pot icy of non -involvement, "to aid In averting the present appalling war." Must Lose No Time "Having thus striven and failed," he said, "this government must lose no time or effort to keep the nation from being drawn into the war." Here he predicted Buccess "In these efforts." Before closing, the president ex pressed his desire to be able to "offer the hope that the shadow over the world might swiftly pass." But he said: "I cannot. The facts compel my stating, with candor, that darker per iods may He ahead." Mr. Roosevelt said the disaster abroad was not of American making. nut that "we find ourselves affected to the core, our currents of commerce are changing, our minds are filled with new problems, our position in world affairs has already been alt ered." Must Aid Civilization A moment later he asserted: "Fate sems now to compel us to assume the task of helping to main tain In the western world a citadel wherein that civilization may be kept alive. The peace, the integrity and the safety of the Americas there must be kept firm and serene. Thus the president, for some of his audience, gave reassurances that the United States would stand firmly behind the Monroe doctrine. His mcssaee also gave his backing to the neutrality proposals trans mitted to congress at Its last ses sion by Secretary Hull. Before Mr. Roosevelt drove to the capltol to address the congress called together only seven weeks after ad- Journlng the regular session. 17 sen ators opposed to repeal of the arms embargo met to plan their strategy of opposition to revision of the neu trality act.

(UP) Ruth Irene Adlard, pretty 27-year old school teacher whose political activi ties and labor sympathies virtually have disrupted this quiet commun ity, has "only begun to fight for democracy" since her teaching con tract was not renewed. The blonde young teacher, who is so popular here that hundreds of persons Blgned a petition that she be retained, first got Into trouble with the school board last April, when she was ordered to tell the rural school board whether she In tended to continue attacking prom inent local citizens as "reactionaries" and "oppressors of labor." One of her staunchest defenders was the Rev. Charles F. MacLennan. pastor of the Willoughby Presbyter- Ian church. "The action of the board la ft gross denial of civil liberties and I am convinced that the fight for democracy In Lake county has Just begun," Miss Adlard said. "No board member ever has found a complaint against my record as a teacher. The board Is not' renewing my contract because not to do so Is in the interests of the political and economic bosses who have dominated the county for many years!" John T. Roberts. American Legion commander of eight northeastern Ohio counties, has been a leader in the fight to oust Miss Adlard, who had taught the third grade here for more than seven years. proof IFmarrIage long ago is sought SALEM (UP) County Clerk U.
