MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1928. THE PLATTSMOUTH EVENING JOURNAL PAGE THREE American Nations to Protect West em Hemisphere President Roosevelt in Address Pan-American Union Warns Hands Off of Americas. at By I lOR A II D O. MONTF.E United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 14 (UP) President Roosevelt warned the world today that the peoples of the Amer icas will not permit aggressor nations to threaten the peace of the western hemisphere. In an address before the govern ing board of the Pan-American Union, broadcast by shoTwave radio throughout the world in observance of Pan American .day, he asserted that the 21 American nations "are firmly resolved" to maintain peace. "It (peace) shall not be endanger ed by .controversies within our fam ily; and will not permit to be en dangered from aggression coming from outside of our hemisphere," he said. He reiterated this country's "good neighbor" policy in its relations with Central and South American coun tries and cited this hemisphere's suc cessful "demonstration that the rule of justice and law can be substituted for the rule of force." But he warned that preservation of these amicable relations and in dependence of the nations of the western hemisphere may entail sacri fices even the sacrifice of life it self. "Fortunate in being remote from the tumult of conflicting doctrines and from the horrors of armed con flict from the tragedies whose shadows lie heavy on the world, the American republics, nevertheless, face a grave test," Mr. Roosevelt said. "If our good fortune is to continue, our will must be strong. "All of us gained independence be cause our fathers were willing to sacrifice their lives and all they possessed for a great ideal. Some part of that duty to sacrifice rests also on us . . . we are vitally concerned with preserving the high standards of international restraint and moral ity, which the lesson of centuries has taught is the first requirement of peaceful relationships between na tions. "Now, more than ever before, we of this American hemisphere must make plain that these principles, upon which so great a civilization is founded, are vibrant, productive and dynamic. National and inter national and international law are not the restraints of weaklings; they are signs of serene strength confi dence in our purvose and ability to main independence and democracy." The peaceful relations among Am erican republics are not the result of different human beings or conditions than exist elsewhere in the world, he said. "We have the same problems, the same differences, even the same ma terial for controversy which exists elsewhere," he said. "Yet. we have undertaken eontractura.1 obligations to solve these normal human differ ences by maintaining peace; and that peace we are firmly resolved to main tain. He said that American republics have learned "what community of interest really means." "We have worked for it, and we now glory in it. Properly, therefore, Pan American day is set aside as an annual testimony of the significance which the American family of na tions has for the world . . . "The 21 American republics pre sent proudly to the rest of the world a demonstration that the rule of jus tice and law can be substituted for the rule of force; that resort to war' as an instrument of policy is not necessary; that international differ ences of all kinds can be solved through peaceful negotiation, that the sanctity of the pledged word faithfully observed and generously interpreted offers a system of secur ity with freedom." He said that increasing progress in communications between the two continents of the western hemisphere is "constant testimon of our mutual friendship." He cited the forthcom ing inter-American conference at Peru in December as an "instrument for bringing ever closer the rela tionships between our several na tions." In closing hi.s address, Mr. Roose velt said: "Our ideal is democratic liberty. Our instrument is honor and friend ship. Our method is increased un derstanding. Our basis is confidence. So antl not otherwise, in common ef fort we safeguard in this new world the great rights of our liberties and build our civilization for the ad vancement of humanity throughout the world."

CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF HOBART, INDIANA While Nebraska municipalities have their elections over, the po litical pot is just beginning to boil in Indiana, and we note that at Hobart "After weeks of urging by his numerous friends, Wm. T. (Bill) Distell has consented to announce his candidacy for nomination to the office of mayor on the democratic ticket, subject to the primary elec tion May 3rd." The press notice goes on to say that "Mr. Distell is the democratic committeeman of the third precinct and is also president of the Hobart City Democratic club, having been a life-long democrat. He resides with his wife, one son and five daughters at the corner of Michigan and Cleve land avenues and owns his home. He is a World War veteran and a past commander of the American Legion. Mr. Distell has always been an ar dent democrat and was honored to serve as chairman of the President's nominators rally in 1936, also serv ing as chairman and vice chairman respectively of the President Roose velt birthday balls held annually on January 30. "Mr. Distell is greatly interested in a greater Hobart and alleges that the democratic party being progres sive, possesses the quality of leader ship that will further the advance ment of Hobart. His friends are of the opinion that he is fully quali fied to serve as mayor if nominated and elected." His campaign card is headed with the slogan "Vote for a Leader Wm. T. Distell, democratic candidate for Mayor of Hobart, Ind." The Distell family resided here a number of years while Mr. Distell was superintendent of the BREX shops. It is also noted from correspon dence that the Distells hate another baby girl, born in March, who has been named Renee. This makes them five daughters and one son, several more than they had when residing here. PLAY NEARS COMPLETION The finer points of the comedy farce, "His Ozark Cousin," are now being well worked out and the play promises to be a fun special that will appeal to everyone. It's full of hill billies and their mountain witti cisms, yet the characters are mainly college grads and blue-bloods from the east. The Rankin family, tho living in the Ozarks, are all well educated and affluent. They receive a letter from some distant eastern cousins, stating they will arrive soon on a visit. In the letter are several unflattering intimations as to the possible rustic mode of living of the Rankins. They don mountain clothes and dialects, and the arriving guests find them selves in the midst of more "moun tain atmosphere" than they ever dreamed of. Following is the well-chosen cast: Mrs. Jno. Rankin Harriet Case Jack Rankin, a son James Sandin Glenda Rankin, a daughter Alice Jane Hirz Sue Rankin, a daughter Flora Belle Mead Ned Richman, a friend Ed Wehrbein Fay Kirby, a friend Jeanette Hirz Gary Stark, a newcomer Greth Garnett Guy Hains, eastern cousin Wilbur Hall Betsy Hains, his wife Clara Toman Randall Hains, a son Bob Wurl Frances Hains, a daughter Mildred Cacy "Uncle" Zeb Tyler Roy Olson VISIT OMAHA LODGE Supper and Show for Team Dwight Baier, who is a basketball enthusiast, gave a supper and also; an evening at the movies to the eight members of the basketball team of the Avoca high school last Mon day.
