PR3SIDEXT ROOSEVELT
WASHINGTON—Praises from ad
dress of President Roosevelt at he
Woodrow Wilson commemoraive exer
Cises
“PPresident Wilson first enunciat
ed the definite statement that the
United States will never again seek
one additional foot of reritory by
conquest. The United States accept
ed that declaration of policy,”
... ;
“It therefore has seemed clear to \
me as President that the time has
come to supplement and to imple
mei the declaration of President
Wilson by the further declaration
that the definite policy of the United
States from now on isone opposed to |
armed interventtion.”
...
“The maintenance of constitutional
/government in other nations is not a
sacred obligation devolving upon the
United States alone. The mainten
ance of law and orderly processes of
government in this hemisphere is the'
concern of each individual nation
within its own borders first of all.”
...
“Political profit, personal prestige,
national aggrandizement, attended
attended the birth of the League of
Niaions, and handicapped it from its
infancy by seeking their own profit
and their own safety first.”
...
“The blame for the danger to world
peace lies not in the world population
but in the political eaders of that pop
ulation.”
...
“The League of Nations, encourag
ing as it does the extension of non-ag
gression pacts, of reduction of arma
ment agreements, is a prop in the
world peace structure.”

“We are not members and we d®
not contemplate membership. We are
giving cooperation o he League in
every matter t hat is not primarily
political and in every matter which
obv.ously represente the views and
the good of the peoople o fthe world
as distinguished from the views and
good of political leaders, of privileged
classes or of materialfitie aims.,”
A WASTEFUL BUDGET,
SAYS SENATOR DICKINSON
WASHINGTON .—■* ‘This country
cannot continue t o exist half subsi
dized and half vicimized,” Senator L.
J. Dickinson, Republican of Iowa, said
lyetsaday in commenting on the bud
gte submitted to Congress by Presi
dent Rooseveltt. The Senator added:
“The budget is an unknown peace
time record of exttravagant expendi
tures and criminal waste. This fiscal
program mposes a terible ta burden
on this generation and on many gen
erations to follow.”
x lie x uameniS) ebiuiutt*; Ul a u«
ficit of nearly $7,500,000,000 for the
current fiscal year beginning next
July 1, and ending June 30, 1935, sur
prised even Democratic eaders, but
they accepted the figures as warrant
ed by conditions
“The amount of the deficit for the
current fiscal year is startling, in
deed,” Representaive Henry T. Rai
ne yof Illinois, Speaker of he House,
declareed,
“But,” he continued, “there is noth
ing so alarming about the increase of
five billion or six Billion dollars more
in the national debt, when our huge
national income is considered. The
deficit will not have to be paid all in
one year. Its payment will extend
over a large, period of time.”
HEAD QF NRA WOULD
SHORTEN WORK HOURS
WASHINGTON*— D^atisf action
on the par of General Hugh S. John
son, National Recovery Administrator,
with the volume of re-employment
through the Recovery Administration
code is the underlying cause of his in
tention to try to effect a furrher
shorenin gof working hours. *
Johnson pllans to reduce the pre
vailing 40-hour wdrk week far in
dustrial workers to a 32bour work
week.
Conservative estimaste by National
Recovery Administration officials oof
re-employment increases that can
actually attributed to the code of
manufacturing industries do not
place the number of persons affeced
at more than 1,500,000, which is far
fewer than was expected.

HOONEVKLT TALK
PLEASES THE WORLD
WASHINGTON.—President Roose
velt’s pronouncement on international
peace, the League of Nations and
neighborliness aroused much more
than.a passing interest in many parts
of an apprehensive woifld.
Both France and Geramany, which
have failed to agree on disarmament
proposals, and which eye each other
warily across a brisling line of- forti
fications, profess to see in the address
support for their respective views -
France thanks the President in the
belief that he had voiced approval of
the Frach policis against the League
of Nations reforoms and against
German rearmament.
But Berlin believes that Hr. Roose
velt indicated that the arms question
was purely a European affair and his
thought “showed that present-daj
America is far from he ill-famed Ge
neva spirit.”
