HUGHES BOWS TO HY-
PHEN DEMANDS, so RE-
CORDS OF MEETING SHOW

ANA mdignities offered American cit
zens ON British territory the unwar
ranted and nhuman interference b
Great Britain with American Chart
destined for the people Of the neutra
powers and their allies, MS well as tn
Irish people, extending even to chart
ties of the Red Cross. an organization
protected by International agreemen
ana recognized by the highest in
stncts Of civilization, and other of
fenses too numerous to mention, al
Of which are blows struck by Grea
Britain and her allies at the nationa
honor and with interests Of the United
states and the dignity and sacred SOY
ereignty Of American citizenship.
Condemns Hughes silence.
"ThiS cndorscmcnt by Mr.. lIuglc'
of MIR. ROOseVclt's un-Amcrlcan dis
elimination against American right
and American Sovereignty might very
well have been ignored if it had moi
been for the fact that MIR. Hughes, in
all his publiC uttCranccs since his nom
ination has. like Mr.. Roosevelt, over
looked these great American questions
by failing to discuss them.
I'VE believe that the aggresslons Of
Great Britain and her allies are q
political issue in the minds of the
great masses of the American people
and that such an issue cannot be
smothered. evaded or destroyed sue
cessfuIy by any candidate for the
presidency of the United states, and
that such continued aggressions by
Great Britain, continually ignored by
American statesmen because Of their
pro British tendencies or political
cowardce, must inevitably lead to
war as they ala in 1916 and 1872.
I'VE believe that American citizen
ships and sovereignty should be re-
spected by every foreign power, and
where American personal and prop
arty rights have been destroyed it be-
comes the duty of the nation in de-
Tense of it's national honor and vital
to take every step that may
be necessary to protect them.

The promise made by Mr. Hughes: |
What Mr.. Hughes Promised.
The official minutes show that the /
port of the Hughes interview was |
ade verbally by Mr.. OLeary at the /
'ternoon session of the September
meeting Of the so-called confer
nee. 1t is interesting to note that
lie minutes contain Illuminating and
,nvincing confederation of the es-
initial fact that the verbal report was
tisfactory from the OLeary or
viewpoint.
The report of O'Leary upon this
'casiOn was in substance that Can

nj committee of the American In
