Says Man Who Would
Raise Sectionalism Issue
Is Not Worthy.
ANSWERS G.. O. P.
Declares That Good Roads
Should BE Spread Like
Network Over Land.

INpIANAPOLIS, oct. 10. - Presi-
dent Wilson today replied to the Re
publican charge that the Democratic
party is sectional party with the
statement that any man who reViNes
the issue of sectionalism in this coln-
try is unworthy of the confidence of
the nation
The president came to Indianapolis
To address meetings of good roads ad-
NOcateS and farmers review an auto
mobile parade celebrating the good
roads day of the Indiana centennial
and attend a nonpartisan luncheon Of
leading lndianans. lie was seen by
crowds which packed the streets for
blocks In his first set speech he
spoke Of the good done by highways
in preventing scCtionalism.
My fellow citizens" he said Il
need not tell you that | did not come
here to talk politics but there is one
thing that Is pertinent in this Connec-
ton, which | cannot deny myself the
privilege of saying. Any man who re-
wives the issue of scctionalism in this
country is unworthy of the confluence
of the nation. He shows himself a
provincial, he shows that he himself
does not know the various sections of
his own country; he shows that he has
Shut his own heart up in a little PROV
ince and that those who do not seek
the special interests of that province
are to him sectional, while he alone
is national. That is the depth of anti
patriotic feeling"
In his good-roads speech the prcsi-
dent said in part:
Il am here because of my interest
in the cause of good roads and because
of my interest in the state of lndi-
ana. The highway is not intended
first of all and chief of all for the
pleasure vehicle. 1t is made because
we need it in all the material uses of
our life.
Need Good Roads.
1T is perfectly obvious that you
have got to have an intricate and per
feet network of roads throughout the
length and breadth of this great con-
tinent before you will have released
the energies of America Good roads
are necessary for every practical as
pcCt of our lives. to draw neighbor-
hoods together, TO create community OF
feeling. to create those arteries which
may be compared to the arteries of
the human body. The blood of the
nation will not flow in harmonious
concord unless it can flow in imme
diate sympathy.
And so the arguments. the ma
terial argument, the argument about
markets and crops and the products

of the mines. sink into relative unim-
portanCe when you consider the spirit
ual thing you are doing in making
roads. You know there t. an old say
ing that the lines between sections are
oDliterated only 10y the feet that cross
them There is a saying of great
Englishman that he never could hate
IA man he knew. And scctionalism is
based upon the radical dpngor of every
nation, namely. ignorance. The only
thing thst breeds darkness in the
world is ignorance The only thing
that really blinds MS is not knowing
what we are talking about The only
thing that binds a nation together IS
the knowledge of its several parts OF
each other.
Created New People.
"And that is my interest in good
roads, my fellow citizens. my present
interest is chiefly in the nationaliZa-
tion Of America. We have created a
great people. At least, if | may put
it so. we have brought together all the
elements, all the component parts, all
the necessary characters and indus
tries and material resources of great
nation. And we suddenly find we are
face to face with the problem of as
sembling these elements in the sense
parts Of a machine. And having as
sembed these elements, TO put them
together for the creation Of one un-
conquerablc force to which the world
shall hereafter look for most of its
forward impulse, for most of its Ideal
principles for most of its example IN
the practice of liberty. And therefore
the thing that | am more Interested in
than anything else in these days is
the forces that make foG drawing
America together into a great spirit
ual unit.
"Instead of exclusive combinations
| want to see universal cooperation.
There are good signs in the air. Have
you not noticed how almost every
great industry. every great profession,
every year holds congress OF some
sort? why, even the advertising men,
who we thought were the sharpest
competitors in America, have a ma
tionaI association I'm which they CO.
operate. | hold this to be a happy
omen. | see the growth in America Of
this conception of solidarity of the in
terest Of each being the interest of all
and the interest Of each growing out
of the interest of all.
"And SO. my fellow citizens, you see
how this little plant of the cause or
good roads spreads into "A great tree

RElCHSTAG TALKS
PEACE AND SUBS
Agree at Opening Session
That No General U-Boat
Issue Will BE Aired.
COMMEND THE U-53
Prospect for Peace Is Poor,
but Germany Is Ready
to Make Terms.

TERLlN, oct 13.-(Via London,
12:l5 y. m.)-Thc most notable incl
dent at the opening of the day in the
reichstag was supplied by Major Ernst
BasScrnann, leader of the national
Liberals, in his report from the bud
get committee, that although 1t had
been unable TO reach a decision on the
submarine question, 1t had voted "a
10 against discussion of the subject
In open session.
Herr !assermann faced full
house when he rose to deliver the re-
port. every deputy being present
while the galleries were iammed. DR.
Won Bethmann-Ilol ollweg, the imperial
chancellor with Foreign Minister Won
Jagow, Secretary Helfferich of the
imperial treasury and the other min
listers, filled the ministerial benches.
The committee occupied itself with
n thorough discussion Of the question
of submarine warfare, the report
said, the members Of all parties and
representatives of the government
participating.
All the naval. technical, military,
economical and political aspects were
thoroughly Investigated and weighed.
The deliberations were conducted un-
der the impression of the high impor-
tance of the question: strictly upon
the merits of the case and with gen
eral desire to serve the interests of
the fatherland.
Could Not Agree.
An agreement could not be reached
IN the committee, which therefore re-
Trained from making decision. The
committee recommends that the
reichstag in its deliberations abstain
from discussion OF submarine war
fare. 1t bases this attitude upon the
standpoint that n thorough discussion
OF the naval. technical. military, eco
nomic and political details is impos-
sib.e without injury to the interests of
the fatherland. but, on the other hand.
that without such thorough discus
sion the subject could not be com
pletely cleared up"
The recommendation has been
adopted by vote Of "a TO 4, the dis
senters being conservative and radical
socialist committeeman.
Major Bassermann, while avoiding
o discussion of the submarine issue In
his remarks, injected tribute to Ad-
miral Won TirpitZ and the achieve
ments of the submarine U-53.
Herr Scheidemann discussed the
peace problem and the object OF the
war.
