‘A4 ws ROOSEVELT SPEECH DRAWS G..0.P. FIRE Failure of A. A. A. Address to Declare Permanent Policy Scored. By the Associated Press. The Chicago address of President Roosevelt yesterday brought from Cap- itol Hill Republican rebuke because he failed to enunciate a permanent farm policy and Democratic condemnation for the “dispensers of discord” men- tioned by the Chief Executive. The Senate Republican leader, Mc- Nary of Oregon, said he “regretted that the President did not touch upon & permanent agriculture policy, as this | is the all-important phase of the sub- Ject.” McNary is working on an agri- cultural program but has given no in- dication as to whether it would be proposed as a party measure. Representative Lambertson, Repub- lican, of Kansas, said he, too, was dissatisfled that no mention was made of a permanent program, adding that, | while he voted for the A. A. A, he did not regard it as desirable on a per- manent basis. Aim to Benefit Business. Senator Black, Democrat, of Ala- bama, asserted that the President’s speech indicated an intention to drive his farm program ahead “in order not | only to benefit the farmers but all of business.” “The farmers know,” he said, “they have been immeasurably benefitted and business knows it has benefitted. Only a few of the so-called spokesmen of big business, whose income largely de- | pends on the noise they make, dare to assert that business on the whole | has not been benefitted.” Representative Rankin, of Mississippi said: i “I'm not surprised to see the ones | who have been profiting from the | protective tariff at the expense of the farmer complaining that they have to pay a more decent price for the stuff he has to sell.” | Representative Taylor, Democrat, of | Colorado, acting House majority lead- | er, said that out of about $40,000,000,- | 000 paid by consumers for food in the | last four years, only about $10,000,- | 000,000 has gone to farmers because of “damnable profiteers, wholesalers, transportation men and brokers.” { Imports Increased, Exports Down. Senator Steiwer, Republican, of Oregon declared it was “unfortunate | that the President regards American | criticism of obvious defects in the re- | cent Canadian treaty as ‘dispensers | of discord’ and ‘calamity howlers.” | Saying there had been large increases in imports of wheat and meat prod- | ucts accompanied by huge reductions in exports to other nations, Steiwer added that “agriculture cannot gain | from aggravation of this situation.” Senator Borah of Idaho, mentioned as a possibility for the Republican presidential nomination, said he had not read the speech, adding, “I would not comment even if I had read it.” —_— LEADER OF D.

Photo. cause in the long run we have chosen | the right course with respect to the | Philippine Islands. Through our power we have not sought our own. Through our power we have sought to benefit others. That both nations kept to the policy leading to this most happy result is due to the fact that both nations have the deepest respect for the inalicnable rights of man. Those rights were spe- } cifically championed more than a cen- |tury and a half ago in our own Declaration of Independence. Those same rights are champicaed in the new constitution of the Philippine Commonwealth. There can be no true national life either within a nation itself or be- tween that nation and other nations unless there be the specific acknowl- edgement of, and the support of organic law to, the rights of man. Supreme among those rights we, and now the Philippine Commonwealth, hold to be the rights of freedom of education aad freedom of religious worship. This university from which we send our welcome to the new common- wealth exemplifies the principles of which I speak. Through the history . this great Middle West—its first explorers and first missionaries— Joliet, Marquette, De La Salle, Hen- nopin—its lone eagle, Father Badin, who 1s buried here—its apostolic | Father Sorin, founder of Notre Dame University — its zealous missionaries | of other faiths—its pioneers of varied nationalities—all have contributed to | the upbuilding of our country because | all have subscribed to those funda- | mental principles of freedom—freedom of education, freedom of worship.

The time is not given me to recite the history of thoe 40 years. That history reveals one of the most ex- traordinary examples of national co- | ‘nperation, aational | national independence the world has ever witnessed. It is a tribute to the | genius of the Philippine people. | Subject to the governmeat of a | country other thaa their own, they | generously adjusted themselves to con- ditions often not to their liking; they patiently waited; they forfeited none of that freedom which is natively theirs as a people, and which they have so definitely expressed with due regard for fundamental human rights in their new constitution. ‘ We have a clear right also to con- gratulate ourselves as a people be- Try American’s new Direct flight . . . 14-Passenger Airliner comfort all the way ...

We will never lower it. We will never permit, if we can help it, the light to grow dim. Rather through every means legiti- mately within our power and our office, we will seek to increase that light, that its rays may extend the farther; that its glory may be seen from afar. Every vindication of the sanctity of these rights at home; every prayer that other nations may accept them; is an indication of how virile, how living they are in the hearts of every true American. Of their own initiative, by their own appreciation, the Philippine com- | monwealth has now also championed | them before the world. Through the favor of Divine providence may they be blessed as a people with prosperity. May they grow in grace through their own constitution to the peace and well being of the whole world. .
