Boston, Oct. 6, Addressing the annual Convene tion of the American Legion to-da President Hoover described Kellogg-Briand Pact and the Lot~ don Naval Agreement as two mo+ montons victories on the road to naval building, safeguarded our defence by parity with the greatest naval power in the world, assured the maintenance of an efficient navy, as our first line of defence, and de= monstrated to the world, by Jimite ing our strength, that we seek no domination but only adequate de+ fence." ~President Hoover added. "Thera fs no financial, traditional or milita ary imperialism in the American heart. "We have seen the erection of many new democracies since the War. We have seen some of them fall by the wayside, some to strong men and some to the mob. Strange new doctrines are presented to us in alluring language. Self-govern ment is being questioned. We, in America, have proved it to be the surest lift to the common man." Reuter. 4
