to a question by Mr.. Sims that the
passage of the Stevens bill removing
the duty on wood pulp and print paper

President Roosevelt Is Deeply Inter

Washington. May President
Roosevelt expressed his views regard
ing working women's clubs today in
addressing 500 New England women
who make their own living and who

visitors are members of the National

President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a
cordial greeting to the workers and
shook hands with them. The Prasi-
dent addressed them as follows:
1T is very real pleasure to greet
you today. l often meet delegations
here in the East room of the White
House; all of them | am very glad to
see; and / can say with entire truth
that there is none that come here
which / could be more pleased to see
than this: I would not be fit to hold
the position that do hold, l would not
be good American. if l did not take
peculiar interest in exactly the kind
of club which is represented here to-
day.
Il think it is highly typical of our
people that we should be able to gath
er together in organizations for social
and intellectual betterment; and in
terested though I am in such organ
iZations of men. l am even more in
terested when they are managed and
controlled in the interest Of women,
and particularly working women and
working girls. If l were asked to
point out what in my judgment was
the fundamental difference between
the United States and any European
county. even the most advanced. I
should say that the fundamental diff
ference in our favor was the different
attitude taken here toward women:

Throughout the day the streets and
the decks of the battleships were
thronged with visitors. A gale which
swept away the heavy clouds of the
anchoring hour and transformed the
usual placid waters of the bay into a
choppy sea did not hinder the hundreds
