RECEIVED BY PRESIDENT TAFT
He Emphasizes Individual Right to
Worship as Man Chooses.

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft Sat
urIay received delegation of Jews
representing the Independent order of
Birth Abraham, made a short speech,
and listened to a eulogy of himself
by their leader, Samuel Kalesky. In
his speech the president said in part:
Il yield to no one in the broad con-
struction of the constitution of the
United States and the constitutions of
the states that secure to each individ-
ual the right to worship God as he will
without question and without preju-
dice. OF course, we can not control
what foreign countries do. All We can
do is to express our strong opposition
on the subject and use the great in
fluence that a country of prestige al
ways has to spread that doctrine of
tolerance and equal rights to all, with
out regard to religion or creed"
