statement of his policy IN the chamoer
deDuties today. He said that the govern
ment is corscious of the difficulties OF the
present situation, but feels confidence, IN
view Of the profound tranquility prevail

in the republic, which proves that the
painful incidents of the last few months,
despite the efforts to turn them TO adVan-
tage for political ends. have neither chech-
ed the vigorous growth of the republic nor
injured the country's traditional reputa-
tion for probity and honor. lApplause,J
