Senator Charles L. McNary has
declined to have his notification
ceremonies as Republican nom
inee for vice president become
an auxiliary of the "whiskerino"
centennial celebration which
Salem is planning for next
month. Suggestion that the pol
itical event (first of its kind
ever held in Oregon), be staged
simultaneously with the Salem
show was made by Gov. Charles
A. Sprague in a telephone call
to the senator. Declination was
made by McNary, who does not
know yet when a committee
from the Republican national
convention will call on him.
The date will be set by the
senator.
The senator, most loyal of
Salemites (his farm. Fircone, is
five miles from town on the
River road watch for the RFD
mailbox), could see no connec
tion between a strictly local
celebration and a notification
of a nominee by a major pol
itical party; each has its own
importance and neither requires
the other to draw a crowd.
SENATOR McNary would like
the notification to take place
on his farm, part of his grand
father's donation land claim,
and where he was born. How
. ever, he realizes there will be
a throng and parking space is
limited.
Champoeg park would be
suitable, but it has a one-way
road and this would mean a
traffic jam. The state fair
grounds, with its grandstand,
speakers' platform and acres of
parking area appears the most
logical as thousands of motor
ists could be accommodated.
POLITICOS in Oregon are
wondering whether McNary
will resign before November.
He will not. Should the Repub
lican ticket be succesful he
might not resign until January
20. If he resigned before No
vember, the governor could ap
point a successor only until the

the protest "as drastic and as

"We do not know what will
happen or when the French will
make a decision," British cir
cles at Alexandria said.
"We only know that no
French ship shall ever leave
Alexandria to surrender to the
enemy."
It was clearly Indicated that
any French attempt to slip out
of the harbor would result in a

F. D. Tusts Five Objectives
Before World Peace Assured
By Douglas B. Cornell
Hyde Park, N. Y., July 5. P Five objectives which
must be realized before permanent world peace would be
assured were listed by President Roosevelt today, and first
among them he put freedom from fear, and that, he said,
means disarmament
The discussion, during a press
conference, came at a time
when Europe is fighting a
bloody war and the United
States is embarking on a vast
defense program under the
president's personal direction,
This was how he listed the
objectives- I
1. Freedom from fear, so that
people will not be afraid 0f I

attacked by another nation.
That, he said, means removal of
the weapons which cause fear,
or disarmament.
2. Freedom of information.
That is important, Mr. Roose-
velt asserted, because i the whole

every part of the country and
in every part of the world, with
lout censorship. He said that it
I meant not freedom of the press
alone but freedom of every

could not be a stable world.

Hull Says Doctrine Solely
Matter of
eu rw-..
ocii-ucicuac,
Not Like European Copy
Washington, July 5. GP
The United States replied today
to a German challenge of the
Monroe doctrine by stating that
It was "a basic policy of the
government to prevent aggres
sion" in the western hemisphere.
For more than 100 years the
doctrine has stood as a barrier
to European penetrating of this
hemisphere, in its refusal to per
mit transfer of territories in the
new world from one non-American
power to another.
But, Secretary Hull told his
press conference today, the Ger
man foreign minister had been
quoted in a reply to a recent
American note on the Monroe
doctrine as saying that interpre
tation of the doctrine to forbid
such transfers would be "unten
able." He then went on to declare
that the Monroe doctrine was
solely a policy of self-defense
and contained "not the slightest
vestige of any implication, much
less assumption of hegemony on
the part of the United States."
His statement declared the
Monroe doctrine "never has re
sembled and It . does not today
resemble policies which appear
to be arising in other geographi
cal areas of the World, which
are alleged to be similar to the
Monroe doctrine, but which in
stead of resting upon the sole
policies of self-defense and of
respect for existing soverelgntys,
as does the Monroe doctrine,

preparations today for their
party's July 15 convention amid
increasing Indications that Pres

tradition and accept a third

tor. Wlllki will com her Mon
day to discuss campaign plana
with his running mate. Senator
Charles L. McNary of Oregon.
Talk of a Democratic ticket

send national convention dele
gates went home today carrying
last minute advice not "to wor

movement which their leaders
suggested earlier in the session.
Rep. Joe Hendricks (D-Fla.),
sponsor of the Townsend bill in
the house, said in the closing
meeting yesterday a third party
could have only a "negative re
sult" on their plan.
"I don't think," Hendricks as
serted, "the dynamic John L.
Lewis or the conservative Sena
tor Burton K. Wheeler could
lead any third party to victory.
. . . let us go to districts where
the Townsend organization has
the balance of power. Let us
elect representatives who will

dio in a broadcast heard here
reported today that the 15,363
ton French liner Massllia, which
left Bordeaux June 16 with for
mer French Premier Edouard
Daladier aboard, was overdue
and missing.
The broadcast said that for
mer French minister of educa
tion Delbos and former minister
of the interior Mandel also were
aboard the ship.
High officials based their pre
diction of a Roosevelt accept
ance partly on the assumption
that an eleventh-hour declina
tion might turn the convention
into confusion from which it
might be difficult to recover In
the ensuing campaign.
Others mentioned besides
Hull as a Roosevelt running

Should the president decldo
not to seek a third term, lead

will endorse Hull. Tills logically
would turn the vice presidential
nomination toward far west
