He said the statements plied he “engaged in the slavery human beings” through con=| cting cheap Chinese labor in arly enginzering days. #e de- having employed such labor of nied in the South African mines. Employment—Wages At the outset, the President said his address would be devoted large- ly to employment and wage ques- tions and he outlined in detail| policies and measures which! ibed as the record of his| inistration on this score. Turning to the causes of the world economic strain, the Presi- dent said: | ‘Our opponents are going up;md; down the land repeating the state- | ment that the sole origin of dis- ruption and world wide hurricane came to the United States through wild flotation of securities and stock market speculation years ago, together with the Smoot- Hawley Tariff. Absolutely Untrue “I purpose to discuss the as- sertion because, it can be proved absolutely untrue. The United States is not the oppressor of the world.” The speaker said the Government leaders did not foresee .the coming of the disintegrating forces as “no one can foresee the coming of fear or panic. I have not noticed any Democratic Jeremiahs.” President Hoover declared the Democratic Party appears entirely in ignorance or apparently has not| yet learned of what were the ef- fects of certain post-war happen- ings in foreign countries. Two-Minute Ovation The President was given a two- minute ovation as he entered the hall and he was interrupted time and time again by applause. The President spoke from the platform of his special train across four States to throngs estimated to total more than 100,000. The crowd here laughed and ap- plauded when he said the Demo- crats ignored Russia’s dumping “in a desperate effort to secure money with which to carry on, or shall 1 call it a new deal?” The President quoted from a bul- letin of the National Bureau of Economic Research, a statement to the effect that “depression began in eleven countries having a popu- Jation of six hundred million before it appeared in our country.” Defends Tariff Defending the Smoot-Hawley tariff, the President said the bill was not passed until nine months after the economic depression be- gan in the United States and also not until twenty other countries had already gone into depression. “Tomorrow’s Styles Today” Hosiery Special WOMEN’S Chiffon and Service Weight.

The President said: “The only way relief may be ef- fectively applied is by the neigh- borhood itself where the need is known.
