ROOSEVELT REVEALS PROGRESS|WSN 10
 ARGENTINE HOSTS
Tells About Referendum and Recall and Says Privileged Interests Rob the People.

Roosevelt rscfted his political creed before an audience of ATgentinos here today and outlined. in speech last. ing more than an hour. the work that he and his followers had set them- selves to accomplish in the United States.
 We do not see all the steps that lt will be necessary to take in the fu- ture in order to realize our ideals, he said But we do see the six or eight nf a dozen steps which it is now necessary to take. These we shall take and then the further steps will become cleared to us. We well come the aid fthose Who believe in our taking these first steps. even though 1t may be that our ways shall be sundered from their ways in the remote future
 Colonel Roosevelt spoke at length on the topic Of recalling judicial d. cisions Tn the United States, he said, certain great privileged interests had sought for two generations. to rob tho people of their sovereignty by divid. ing it between courts and legislatures and finally by placing it in the courts through giving the courts political and non-political power This was one of the grave evils which he and his fol- lowers sought to wipe out. Among the many reforms written on their pro gram, he said, were these:
 We propose to make the process of constitutional amendment far cas- fer, speedier and simpler thar at pres ent.
 We wish to make the people the supreme arbiters, between their ser wants, the court and the legislature, when the court and the legislature differ as to the proper interpretation of the Constitution which the people made.
 We know that it is folly to try t1 make the fool the equal of the wise man, but we intend to control greed and cunning and brutality in high places just as We control greed ami cunning and brutality in low places.
 We intend to provide for the moth CT whose husband, the breadwinner, has died.
 We intend to protect the right of children to their childhood
 From the mer and women who work hard with clean hands we in tend to try to lift the burden of haunt i ing fear of an olG age Of undeseryed penury and misery.
 ! We intend that machinery shall be f the handmaiden and not the mistress of humanity.
 | "We intend tL make the government q most potent instrument in working for the uplifting of mankind" i Colonel RooSeyelt's speech was in part as follows:
 "The democratic movement is nov i so far as concerns civilized nations a well-nigh worldwide movement. come from one of the great democr.c cies of the present and the future. am speaking to another or the great , democracies of the present and tite future. There are many striking sim ilarities, oh my hearers, between my own country and this great country ol yours of which at the moment I aEl the guest. In both there is the same 1 teeming fertility oi the soil ond var [ iety of resources, and therefore oi pursuits ID both there has been ths same astounding growth of a yiril. and energetic population. In bot | tEere has been the same piling up oj material prosperity. In both side b. side with the material progress Zt have seen the ominous development c those problems with which all of oul later-day industrial. civilizations throughout the world are faced.
 'Of course each nation has it's owI peculiar characteristics for good anC for evil, and therefore each nation has to face certain problems which art peculiarly its own. But after all, Oul Iikenesses are more important thai OUT differences, and the chief and tn; most numerous of the questions wit which We are face to face are nearll the same. for all of us.
