U.S. Peace Bodies Laud Government's Part
Washington, Oct. 28.
The National Peace Conference.. comprising 40 organisations, has addressed a letter to Mr. Cordell Hulf applauding the Government's participation in the Nine-Power Conference.
The letter says that it is not enough to condemn war or p military quarantine
aggression. Economic and political justice is the only foundation wherela an enduring peace can be rebuilt.
"We believe," the letters says. "that the United States should...
Brussels concurrently with the Conference, initiate steps looking towards y economie adjustments to improve the living standards of all peoples."- Reuter

In view of a possible outbreak of hostilities in the Mediterannean, it being pointed out that in case a conflict should break out, For- tugal would be of greatest possible value because of her position, Britain also wishes to ascertain whether, in case of a victory in Spain by General Franco, Portugal would remain aloof from COM e. p.mbinations which would bring about
