APPEAL TO WORLD
TREATIES FOR PEACE
PAN-AMERICAN EXAMPLE
'WAR NOT INEVITABLE'
United Press Association—By Electric Teleeraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, February 26. The Secretary of State, Mr. Cordell Hull, in an address to the Council of Foreign Relations, pleaded with the Governments of the world to follow the example of the pan-Ameri-can nations, which, at the Inter-Ameri-can Peace Conference at /Buenos Aires in December, concluded treaties for the maintenance of peace, for the coordination and amplification of existing treaties, and for observance of nonintervention in international disputes, by agreement among the representatives of nations of North and South America. . "I cannot believe that it is beyond the power of statesmen to check the reverse drift of international anarchy to which some parts of the world find themselves moving," he said. "The work of the recent conference proves that no part of the world needs to reconcile itself fatalistically to the inevitability of war. The entire world can build upon the same basic principles that were implemented at Buenos Aires, and I hope with all my heart that they will build a structure ensuring peace." —
