 sors of every form of hyphenated
 Americanism are as thoroughly the
 foes of this country as if they dwelled
 without its borders and made active
 war against it. Once it was true. as
 Lincoln said, tha. the country could
 not endure half free and half slave. Today 1t is true that it cannot endure ! half American and half foreign. The
 hyphen is incompatible with patriot ism.
 World peace must rent on the will
 ingness of nations with courage, cool
 foresight and readiness for self-sac-
 rifice to defend the fabric of inter
 national law. No nation can help in securing and organized, peaceful and Ijustice-doing world community until
 it is willing to run risks and make
 efforts to secure and maintain such a community"
 An efficient national government
 system is the best instrument of in- dustrial and military preparedness,
 the speaker said, and all the forces to such an end must be under the re- gulation of a single power, the power of the national government. There IS nothing in the country to which to point as an example of military eff ciency, he said, and as regards the navy America was in good shape sev. en years ago, but since then Germany, England and Japan have gone ahead very fast, while at at first stopped going ahead and for the last three years have been going backward. Colonel Roosevelt praised California for what he called a ganuine and sue cessful effort to secure industrial pros perity and also that approximate req sonable division of the results of p-os. perity which can only come when there is both an aroused social cons cience and a common sense transla- tion by practical men of that aroused social efficient legislative and admin istrative action.

This effort | has been partially nullifed by the | fact that in direct contravention of one of the main purposes which the United States constitution was de. | signed to put into effect, we have | permitted interestate commerce largely to pass under the control of the states instead of keeping it un- der the control of the nation. When, | for instance, California, appreciating ! the fact that railroads cannot possi- | ply be successfully operated unless they are allowed business Opportuni- | ties which will enable them to make | a reasonable profit, acted accordingly, | the action was nullified by certain | state commissions. Cal ] experience has shown that it is impossible permanently to secure good results in dealing with the in- strumentalities of interstate com merce, the railroads, doing an inter- state business, through the commis- sions of forty-eight different states, and that the only way is to have the whole business of interestate com rherce and everything pertaining to it ! handled by the administrative officers at Washington.
 'I believe in a national incorpora- tion law for corporations of any size engaged in interstate business"
 One of the greatest drawbacks in dealing equitably with corporations is the determination of professional anti trust men to punish the corporations i for past abuses. the speaker said. He advocated laws for the benefit of farmers, workers and shippers, but as- serted that if these laws make it i'm possible for the shipping interests,
