ROOSEVELT
CAUSES STIR
contInued From Eirs1 Page.

After thanking the city Chamberlain,
Sir Joseph C. Dimsdale who in the cor
porauons name. offered Roosevelt the
'rleht hand of fellowship" and present
him with he gold box containing the EN-
blazoned vellum certificate of freedom
Colonel Roosevelt spoke as follows;
81 have recently spent nearly year
under four British and African protector
ates. Your men in Africa are doing a
great work for the British Empire and
for civilization. The nations which are
conquerng the savage lands for civiiiaa-
ton should work together Mankind is
benefited by the French occupation Of
Algiers and Tunic just as mankind IS
similarly for the interests of civillsa-
ton.
- feel toward the Soudon similarly as
felt toward Panama. When we ac-
CURED the right to build the Panama
Canal, many wondered whether it would
pay. / always answered that it was a
world task and our business to undertake
il If we were ready TO make good our
claim to being a world power.
Regarding Egypt. l speak as an out
slider. but this is to your advantage as
l speak without national prejudice and.
also. as a well-wisher TO the British En-
pire I speak not only as an American
but as a radical real ana not a mock
democrat who feels that his first thought
is bound to be for the welfare Of tho
masses of mankind and who wars
against violence and injustice I'm ac-
cordanco with the principles by which
while President, 1 acted toward the Phil
lppines.
"in Egypt you are not only the guar
dams of your own interests, but of the
/ interests of civilization. The present con-
dtion of Egyptian affairs menaces your
--rrire and civilization as well. You have
given Egypt the best government i'm 2,0Ol
years. yet recently YOU erred. 1t is ne
cessary to remember that weakness and
timidity and sentomentanty are more
harmful to an uncivilized people than
violence and injustice
/ "You treated the Pan Egyptian move
ment and religious struggles fairly and
/ impartially. Instead of acknowledging
/ this, a section of the natives took advan-
! tage OF this treatment for the develop
ment OF an anti-foreign movement. Pre-
mier Boutros Pasha, "a competent official
an upholder Of the British rule and a
worker for his countrymen was murdered
because Of these facts. The attitude Of the
Egyptian Nationals regarding the murder
Of Boutros, shows that they are not only
not DESTROYS, but are incapable OF granting
even primary justice.
"lf YOU feel that you ought not to be
( I'm Egypt and have no desire TO keep
order there, by all means get out. If
3 YOU feel that it is your duty to civiliza-
/ ton to stay, then show yourselves
ready 10 meet the responsibility OF
your position You saved Egypt from
ruin. yet if not governed from the
outside, Egypt will again sink into
chaos. Some nation must govern
Egypt I hope you win decide that
it is your duty 20 be that nation"
