The temper and the purposes of the rulers of many of the great population in Europe and Asia, have not pointed the way either to peace or to good-will a- mong men. A point has been reached where the people of the Americas must take cognizance of the growing ill-will, of marked trends toward aggression, of in creasing arnfainents, of shOTfem- ing tempers-;^ situation has in it many of the that lead to' the tragedy, of ewa.karr'-’t: of the Americas can play but one role: Through a . well-ordered neutrality to do naught to en courage the contest, through ade quate defense to save ourselves from embroilment and attafk, and through example and all le gitimate encouragement and as sistance to persuade other na tions to return to the ways of peace and good-will. I suggested in the spring of 1933 that 85 or 90 per cent of all the people in the world were content with the. territorial Hiftits of their respectSre : nfitfoiis .-akA it is even more tru> today that world peace and wrrld good-will are blocked by only 10 or 16 per cent of the world’s population. 1 recognize that these words which I have chosen with delibe ration will not prove popular in any nation that chooSM to fit this shoe to its foot.

The postoffice moved from leas ed quarters on B street to the new government-owned building on' C street on August 15 and since that time .several improvements have been made in the postal serv ice for the city and community. One of the first improvements ef fected was the keeping of stamp and parcel post windows open con tinuously instead of closing for one hour while the train mall was worked.
