ROOSEVELT TALKS SPLIT OPINIONS Leaislators Find Praise and Criticism for Speeches on Trip. By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt's speeches dur- ing his trip across the continent aroused criticism and praise today among legislators. Democrats contended the President had made a favorable impression on the people in his outline of policies. They said his figures on business im- provement could not help but be re- assuring. However, Representative Bolton, Re- publican, of Ohio said in a radio ad- dress that the Chief Executive once more was “making promises in the hope of reviving a lost confidence in the New Deal.” A Roosevelt backer, Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, said: “President Roosevelt’s call at Los Angeles upon liberal-minded people to unite and work together ought to appeal to every progressive in Amer- ica. Certainly a combination of effort by those who think alike will bring desired results, but if they go off on partisan considerations and try to accomplish the same thing in different ways, the danger is that failure will be the result.” Depends On Viewpoint. Senator Davis, Republican. of Penn- sylvania, took a different slant at these remarks of the President. “It depends on your viewpoint of liberality,” he said. “Are you going to be liberal with the markets of the United States and permit imports in competition with our own from low-wage workers of the rest of the world, as Secretary Hull is doing now with his reciprocal trade agreements? I want to be that kind of a liberal who will not buld up bureaucracy and destroy American business.” ‘The comment of Senator HBlack, Democrat, of Alabama was: “Forces of reaction and privilege are fostering and stimulating, possible divisions on the part of the people who are opposed to greed and cupidity of the reactionary class. There is nothing they would like better than a division which would place them back in the saddle. That would be a tragic thing.” Seeking “Lost Confidence.” In his radio address last night, Bolton, chairman of the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, declared the President was trying to revive “lost confidence” in his pro- gram “in the face of a past record of shattered pledges that makes his new assurances unconvincing.” “Again,” said the Ohioan, “it is ob- vious that he takes for granted that & subservient Congress will do his bidding. But the fact is that proper legislative functioning, impossible un- der the present New Deal majority in Congress, is one of the great needs confronting the ccun\gr,\'." DRIVER HITS POLICEMAN Faces Four Traffic Charges as Result of Collision. Knocked from his motor cycle by an automobile at Sixth and D streets today, Policeman M. 1. Bridges of the Traffic Bureau arrested the driver of the car on four traffic charges. The man was booked as John Car- ter, 25, colored, 1900 block of Capitol avenue northeast. The charges placed against him were reckless driving, op- erating with a bad hand brake, driv- ing without a permit and failing to give a hand signal. Bridges escaped with minor injuries.

SAN DIEGO, Calif., October 3.— The text of the address delivered here yesterday by President Roosevelt follows: It is 20 long years since I stood here in company with Vice Presi- dent Marshall when the first ex- position was held here in San Diego. At that time the flames of a World War were spreading and two years later we ourselves were to take part in that great catas- trophe of mankind. In the days that followed the coming of peace, our Nation passed through a period of deflation into a decade of self-deceiving pros- perity which we accepted unthink- ingly in our desire for quietude, peace and luxury. The inevitable overtook us and during more than three years of increasing hardship we came to understand the ulti- mate national need for more than the necessities and pleasures of life; that which is spiritual in us came forward and taught us to seek security of the spirit—that peace of mind, that confidence in the future, that deep contentment which make life not only possible, but full and complete. A great adversity has chastened us; in the process of recovery we have well-nigh unanimous agree-’ ment in requiring the elimination of many of those evils in our na- tional life, without which elimina= tion true confidence cannot be made permanent. I see signs—unmistakable signs— of the restoration of this sound and genuine confidence—a confi- dence of the masses of the people in the integrity and fairness of government, a confidence that in- tegrity and fairness in private enterprise will take the place of many of the evils of the past—in other words, the only confidence on which we can permanently butld. Exposition Held Indicative Of Confidence in Future. Expositions such as this can and do well express our hope of the future. Not only is the setting per= fect, but the extent and the diver= sity of the products of American artistic and mechanical genius gathered here speak eloquently of what this Nation can attain on a broad scale. To a great extent the achieve- ments of invention, of mechanical and of artistic creation, must of necessity be individual rather than governmental. It is the self-re- liant pioneer in every enterprise who beats the path along which American civilization has marched. Such individual effort is the glory of America. The task of Government is that of application. and encouragement. A wise Government seeks to provide the opportunity through which the best of individual achievement can be obtained, while at the same time it seeks to remove such ob- struction, such unfairness as springs from selfish human mo- tives. Our common life under our various agencies of Government, our laws and our basic Constitu- tion exist primarily to protect the individual, to cherish his rights and to make cleai his just prin- ciples. It is this conception of service to the individual with which the Federal Government has con- cerned itself these tv . and a half years just passed. When I took the oath of office there were evi- dences on all sides that the United States did not then possess & sound and just monetary system. The forces of deflation had finally resulted in the almost complete collapse of our economic activities; the banking system had fallen down; prices of commodities were ruinously low: the burden of debt, individual and collective, was more than the Nation could bear. The farmer, worker and business man were helpless in the grip of cir- cumstance. Feared Permanent Hurt To National Life. We were confronted by a choice of two ways of meeting the situa- tion. We could let nature take its course until the process of defla- tion was complete and then take the long gamble of building on the ruins. Such a course was driving us to irreparable damage to our national life. We chose the alternate course. We sought in every sound and le- gitimate way to raise values, par- ticularly the purchasing power of that agricultural half of the Na- tion without which factory wheels could not turn. We changed a gold standard that had become not the assurance of a sound eco- nomic life, but a straitjacket which pressed upon and paralyzed the nerve centers of our economic system. Through the extension of sound Government credit we re- THE- EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1935.

Wirephoto. duced the burden of private debt. We rehabilitated the banking sys- tem and finally we financed the outlays necessary for the encour- agement of recovery, not through an increase in the burden of tax- ation upon the average citizen, but by adding to the public debt, frankly and honestly. As a result of all these efforts bank deposits in active commercial banks have increased by ten billion dollars, or more than 30 per cent. At this moment the deposits in the banks of the Nation amount to more than fifty billion dollars, which, I submit, compare favorably with the fifty-five billion dollars in June, 1929. Unlike that year, however, the new system of deposit insurance covers 98 per cent of the fifty million individual depositors in these insured banks and gives them full protection under the provisions of law. Credit Policy of Federal Reserve Cuts Interest. So, too, the credit policy of the Federal Reserve System in the past two years has sought and ac- complished a reduction of interest rates for the purpose of stimulating business recovery. As a result sound business institutions can se- cure money on bonds at a rate of 33, per cent instead of 43, per cent. Government bonds, on which the taxpayers formerly paid 3'a per cent or more, are now sold with an interest rate of 2'; per cent. Through important amend- ments to our banking laws we have given practical recognition to the fact that monetary policies are a national public concern and not a regional or private concern. The Federal Government is in a better position than it ever has been to prevent that disastrous expansion and contraction of credit which in the past has made our economic life a succession of unhealthy booms and disastrous depressions. In the midst of the greatest and most disasjrous of these depres- sions the very foundation of indi- vidual life ‘was crumbling in the Spring of 1933 because of the ap- palling increase in suffering and destitution, due to the fact of un- employment. Local and State governments and private charities were, in the large, drained of their resources. With the utmost good will in the world they could not meet their primary responsibility. The situation which I faced was too challenging and too mandatory to permit of hesitation. An Ameri- can Government cannot permit Americans to starve. ‘The task assumed in Federal re- lief carried us on an uncharted course. Mistakes and errors were inevitable—that we know—but es- sentially we met the larger re- sponsibilities of the situation. The time demanded action as a substis tute for inaction. Public Relief Policy Held Necessary Step. In the first emergency action we provided direct rclief because a hu- man situation confronted us, but, as rapidly as we could, recogniz- ing the moral and spiritual fiber of the American people should not be shaped by the narcotic of idle- ness, we undertook to substitute work for a dole Today the outlook is clearer, and even though we have not found final solution for many of the by- products of depression, some old and some new, as they affect un- employment, nevertheless it is not the spirit of America to shrink be- fore a plain necessity. As the bur- den lifts the Federal Government can and will greatly divest itself of its emergency responsibility, but, at the same time, it cannot ignore the imperfections of the old order. In the same broad field a chang- ing civilization has raised new prob= lems with respect to the relation- ship between the employer and the employed. It is now beyond partisan controversy that it is a fundamentally individual right of & worker to associate himself with other workers and to bargain cole lectively with his employer. New laws do not pretend to prevent labor disputes, nor do they cover all industry and all labor. But they do constitute an important step toward the achievements of Just and peaceable labor relations in industry. This right of the Federal Government is well estab- lished. Every President in this generation has been faced by the fact that when labor relations are strained to the breaking point there remains but one high court of conciliation—the Government of the United States. In like manner we have sought to foster human co-operation within industry itself. Through the institution of codes within in- dustries we sought to establith a rule of constitutional Government within industry in substitution for the rule of tooth and claw. The experience thus gained by busi- ness in co-operative methods marks a permanent advance. I have talked with hundreds of business men and an overwhelming pro- portion of them tell me frankly that unless they can unite for the elimination of unfair and destruc- tive practices naught but chaos and insecurity can be expected. These principles, so widely ac- cepted under the national indus- trial recovery act, still live, and means for their application, I trust, can be found. Looks Forward to Futare, Remembering Mistakes. We stand once more upon an economic plateau. We have, Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) President had watched 130 ships of the fleet engage in a battle exercise. This demonstration of naval power, the most spectacular ever witnessed by a Chief Executive of the Nation, fol- lowed Mr. Roosevelt’s speech, in which he declared: “We not only earnestly desire peace, but we are moved by a stern determination to avoid those perils that will endanger our peace ; with the world.” Must Remain Unentangled. “Despite what happens in other na- tions,” the President said, “the United States of America shall and must re- main unentangled and free.” This to remain at peace with the world.” It was in the last war, the President said, that “during more than three years of increasing hardship we came to understand the ultimate national need for more than necessities and pleasures of life.” He reviewed the efforts of his ad- minisiration to meet this need to cope with depression. Conceding there have been mistakes, he nevertheless sald he saw “signs— unmistakable signs—of the restoration of the sound and genuine confidence of the masses of the people in the fairness and integrity of Government.” From March, 1933, through June, 1935, Mr. Roosevelt said, industrial production has jumped 45 per cent; factory employment, 35 per cen rural general store sales, 104 per cent; automobile sales, 157 per cent; elec~ trical power production, 18 per cent, while bank deposits in active commer- clal banks have increased more than 30 per cent. These things, he added, have been achieved “not through an increase in the burden of taxation upon the aver- age citizen, but by adding to the pub- lic debt, frankly and honestly.” a Mr, Roosevelt saw & “clearer out- oy Nation, he said, “intends and expects | look.” “We stand,” he said, “upon an economic plateau. We have therefore a right to look forward * * * while, at the same time, we remember the mis- takes of the past.” As the cruiser Houston steamed out into the Pacific from here, the fleet, including 499 fighting planes, staped the first naval practice ever presented before a President of the United States. President Roosevelt’s cruiser simu- lated an ‘“enemy” fleet of equal strength, just as might be expected in the sortie of a fleet from its base. The first blow struck at the Houston was by Submarine Division 12, composed of world-cruising fighting divers. They simulated the firing of torpedoes at the Houston and then submerged. The Navy's newest aircraft carrier, the Ranger, came close and launched its fighting planes. They soared to 20,000 feet and plummeted down, one after another, squadron after squad- ron, in a power dive bombing raid on the Houston. Flotillas of the hornets of the sea made the destroyer attack through opalescent chemical smoke curtains dropped by airplanes. The fast strik- ing divisions of the Scouting Fleet, heavy cruisers, made their tactical raids, and then the main battle Lne of the fleet appeared. 12 Sea Fortresses. There were 12 floating sea fortresses, four divisions of three dreadnaughts each. Admiral Harris Laning, distin- guished tactician, commanded the operations. The climax was the battle line open- ing fire on the Houston. In regular tactical exercises of the fleet these battleships use searchlight stabs to indicate gun fire. The destroyers and heavy cruisers simulated fire, but the battle line fired its guns in the 21- round presidential salute. e Lio e Building Permits Gain.

By the Associated Press. Students of literature rushed to their books yesterday to find out who President Roosevelt had in mind when he quoted “the greatest writer in our history.” In his San Diego speech he quoted this writer as listing the two most menacing clouds over government and soclety as “malice domestic and flerce foreign war.” He gave no further clue to the author of the quotstion. Library of Congress experts agreed offhand that it sounded Shakespearean, but checked other well-known authors, too. The nearest they could come to that phrase was in Shakespeare's “Macbeth.” King Duncan of Scotland has just been assassinated and Macbeth in act three, scene two, in a speech to Lady Macbeth, says: “Treason has done his worst; nor steel, nor poison; malice domestic, foreign levy, nothing, can touch him further.” WHERE .TO DINE.

Simple facts speak so eloquently that explanation is unnecessary. From March, 1933, through June, 1935, the following gains have been recorded in the industrial and business life of America: In- dustrial production increased 45 per cent; factory employment, 35 per cent; rural general store sales, 104 per cent; automobile sales, 157 per cent; life insurance written, 41 per cent; electrical power pro- duction, 18 per cent—this last being, incidentally, a higher mark than in any other time in our history. Centuries ago the greatest writer in our history described the two most menacing clouds that hang over human government and human society as “malice domestic and flerce foreign war.” We are not rid of these dangers, but we can summon the intelligence to meet them. Never was there more genuine reason for Americans to face down these two causes of fear. “Malice domestic” from time to time will come to you in the shape of those who would raise false issues, per- vert facts, preach the gospel of hate and minimize the importance of public action to secure human rights or spiritual ideals. There are those today who would sow these seeds, but your answer to them is in the possession of the plain facts of our present con- dition. Sees War Threat as Menace to Civilization. The second cloud — “foreign war"—is more real—a more potent danger at this moment to the future of civilization. It is not surprising that many of our citie zens feel a deep sense of appre= hension lest some of the nations of the world repeat the folly of 20 years ago and drag civilization to a level from which world- wide recovery may be all but im- possible. In the face of this apprehension the American people can have but one concern and speak but one sentiment; despite what happens in continents overseas, the United States of America shall and must remain—as, long ago the Father of Our Country prayed that it might remain—unentangled and free. This country seeks no conquest. ‘We have no imperial designs. From day to day and year to year, we are establishing a more perfect assurance of peace with our neigh- bors. We rejoice especially in the prosperity, the stability and the independence of all of the Ameri- can republics. We not only earnestly desire peace, but we are moved by a stern deterination to avoid those perils that will en- danger our peace with the world. Our national determination to keep free of foreign wars and foreign entanglements sannot pre- vent us from feeling deep concern when ideals and principles that we have cherished are challenged. In the United States we regard it as axiomatic that every person shall enjoy the free exercise of his religion according to the dic- tates of his consclence. Our flag for a century and a half has been the symbol of the principles of liberty of conscience, of religious freedom and equality before the law, and these concepts are deeply ingrained in our national char- acter. Individual Freedom Of Conscience Defended. It is true that other nations may, as they do, enforce contrary rules of conscience and conduct. It is true that policies that may be pursued under flags other than our own are beyond our jurisdic- tion. Yet in our inner individual lives we can never be indifferent, and we assert for ourselves com- plete freedom to embrace, to pro- fess and to observe the principles for which our flag has so long been the lofty symbol. As it was so well said by James Madison, “We hold it for a fundamental and inalienable truth that religion and the manner of discharging it can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence.” As the President of the United States I say to you most earnestly once more that the people of America and the Government of those people intend and expect to remain at peace with all the world. In the two years and a half of my presidency this Government has remained constant in follow- ing this policy of our own choice. At home we have preached, and will continue to preach, the gospel of the good neighbor. I hope from the bottom of my heart that as the years go on, in every continent and in every clime, nation will follow nation in proving by deed as well as by word their adherence to the ideal of the Americas—I am a good neighbor. U. 5. GUFFEY BILL STAND REITERATED Again Contends Coal Indus- iry Interstate Business in Carter Suit. BY the Associated Press. ‘The Government repeated its con- tention that the soft coal industry is an interstate business in filing its second answer in as many days yes- terday to suits questioning the con- stitutionality of the Guffey bill. Yesterday’s answer asserted the in- dustry’s competitive practices and labor disputes had imposed “direct and substantial burdens upon and inter- ruptions to interstate commerce” in the fuel. It was in reply to a suit brought in District Supreme Court by the Carter Coal Co. seeking an injunction re- straining enforcement of the act. Its contentions paralleled those made in an answer filed Tuesday in a Louis- ville Federal Court to a similar suit by 15 other companies. Regulation Declared Necessary. To “remove or control” burdens on commerce, they insisted that “it is necessary-that competition * * * be regulated by the elimination of un- fair competitive marketing practices, by the fixing between fair and rea- sonable limits of the price at which such coal may be distributed * * * and by stabilizing and equalizing * * * the wages and labor of employes and by | otherwise eliminating the causes of strikes and lockouts.” ‘The suit was brought by James Wal- ter Carter, president of the company, to restrain the company from com- plying with the agt and the Govern- ment from enforcing it. As a separate defense, the Govern- | ment argued that the action is “pre- | mature” in that the tax provision of the bill is not yet effective and that the plaintiff has failed to show accept- | ance of the code by the company will cause any injury. | Jurisdiction Declared Lacking.

Secretary Hull, speaking before 2 religious mass meeting soon after President Roosevelt in his San Diego address had said the American peo- | ple’s one concern is that this country must remain “unentangled and free,” declared: “Present dangers are a challenge to the church to engage in what shoula be nothing less than a flaming cru- sade.” Earlier, in his press conference, Hull had urged statesmen and business men of the world to help correct disturbed world corditions, which he said were seriously impeding all efforts toward econcmic recovery. Funds Held Diverted. “Armed camps do not make ideal trading centers,” he said. Hull added that the “armed truce” in Europe had diverted funds vitally needed for world trade to the pur- chase of guns and ammunition and had a tendency further to upset eco- nomic and monetary stability. “When trade is so repressed and threatened, and when capital is fright- ened by fears of loss and destruction and shifting in large mass from finan- cial center to center, the establish- ment of international currency sta- bility is not made easier,” he said. .
