In Time Of War
Prepared For Peace
LONDON, (/P)—Hanging in his
cabin aboard the British Mine
sweeper Kellet was the private
victory symbol of E. Hodges,
peacetime pub keeper and war
time chief engineer on the vessel.
It was the bowler hat he wore
before the war. “As soon as the
victory news reached the Kellett,”
Hodges said, “that bowler is all
ready to come into its own again.”
1 Hoover Would
Not Accept
Nomination
■ ■■■!■■
CHICAGO, (/P) — The world
food situation, says Herbert
Hoover, “doesn’t look very good.”
1 “We have a surplus of food in
' the United States as usual, but not
as great a noe as we had last
year,” the 73-yeay-old former
President told newsmen yesterday
as he stopped between trains from
California to New York. “The
i world need is probably greater
: this year than it was last.”
Hoover, who was going to New
York to assume the chairmanship
of the new Congressional commis
sion for reorganization of govern- i
ment bureaus, said he had no
views concerning the possible Re
publican candidate for President.
He told newsmen he was cer
tain that he would not accept the I
nomination if it were offered to
him.
“No made at my age should take
the nomination,” the former Pres
| ident said.

Propose Americas
Defend Americas
Against Attack
QUITANDINHA, Brazil, </P)—
The inter-American conference re
ceived a proposal yesterday, back
ed by the United States, to defend
the entire Western Hemisphere
from the Arctic to the Antarctic
as a “esecurity region” with mili
tary forces of all American na
tions. Alaska and Greenland and
Iceland were included in the zone.
The sub-committee which draft
ed the measure was composed of
Sen. Vandenberg <R.-Mich.> and
representatives of Brazil, Mexico,
Peru and Bolivia.
Under the proposal, any attack
on the va^t strategic area would
invoke defense measures under the
proposed hemisphere treaty of mu
tual defense.
A larger sub-committee of 14
nations quickly approved the mea
sure.
‘‘An armed attack by any state
•k
against an American nation will
be considered an attack against all
American states and each one of
the American states assumes the
obligations to aid in facing such
an attack, exercising the individ
ual or collective right of self de
fense recognized by Article 51 of
the United Nations charter,” the
agreement said.
The agreement of the security
zone specified: “The region re
ferred to in the treaty includes
the geographical area defined by
the Panama declaration of Oct. 3,
1939, The North American contin
ent. Alaska Territory, and the area
lying between one and the other.”
