II
- Hughes. in the first set speech
Of his transcontinental trip, tonight
assailcd the administration vigorously
for its foreign policy. its Mexican poll
isy, for appointing men whom he
termed inexperienced to diplomatic
posts and for what he characterized
as raid upon the civil service of the
United states"
"Ile kept us out of war" Mr..
Fughes said referring to the presi-
dent, and a Democratic campaign slo-
gan. "Yet we seized Vera Cruz That
was war-vcry ignoble war. and II.
was called war over the bodies OF
those dead soldiers, 1t was called war
of service.
Talk about what is your policy
What is the presidents policy-does
anyone know? Has the executive ever
had policy for more than SIX
months on the Mexican question. |
repeat. who knows today what the
policy of the administration will be
three months hence? My friends. tho
trouble is that this administration has
written such a record that no matter
what II SAYS you do not know where
1t will stick To it."
Mr.. Hughes, at the meeting at
Arcadia hall, said in part:
"You have here the problem OF the
sudden introduction Of a large alien
population. You did not remain in
| different You set an example in
| Americanization to all America, and
we point to Detroit as the one place
| In this land where there has been
| shown "A quickenins Of interest in the
development of training and Ameri-
caniZing of alien men and women who
have come to this land.
| We Assume Obligations.
"It is perfectly idle TO expect a
sound sentiment of American unity OF
| those who come among us as strahg-
ers, come merely to be exploited.
| when we admit to this country men
and women we assume obligations
| with respect to their training, as well
as grant to them the privileges: and
we have got in this country to be
awake to those obligations and to
| realize that in every community there
| must be a well-organlZed effort TO
make America supreme in the thought
| q every one who comes into the COM
munity. to have the language under
stood and spoken, to have American
| sentiment replace foreign sentiment :
/ to have American ideals replace Tor
| cign ideals: to have realization that
| this is q country not simply giving an
! opportunity to work for dollars, but
| a country that is devoted To the bet
| terment Of human life; TO the enlight-
enment to the standards of human
| thought to the liberalization of all
those things connected with human
understanding and purpose; we want
America first in the mind and heart
Of everyone in this land.
But America is not simply land
| for the man of special talent or OF
distinguished aptitude. This is the
| home of the average man, the or
dinary man who is doing his best,
whatever, by talent or aptitude, and
in our large Industrial occupations
where thousands are gathered to-
| ycthcr in one service, we want a rec
ognition of human brotherhood in
providing for the welfare of those who
make the wealth of this great coun-
try.
Want Safeguard.
1--WE want workngmen to be safe
guarded from every injury that can
be prevented. We want ;he health of
the working men looked after; every
means provided which conducts to the
proper standpoint of living; every
means provided for proper recreation;
appropriate means for education. for
vocational training. In short the
working man who Is in his job and
exects to continue in that job ought
TO feel that he is doing something
worth while for community that ap-
preciates it and gives him far
chance to lead a happy and decent
life.
I'VE have got along in this country
altogether too easily with our wealth
of natural resources We have been
content, living apart in their separate
lives. to try to make something for
their individual selves; but now we
have reached a point where IT is neces-
sary. as it has been necessary abroad
| to try to reduce all waste, to try TO
prevent all unnecessary outlay and TO
try to make business successful ac-
cording to the merit of a well-organ
lied, economically conducted business
| II want efficiency in the govern
| ment of the United States. If man
ager was to be appointed in an auto
mobile factory would you appoint a
man who had never seen an automo-
bile If you want TO run successfully
a large business enterprise in produc-
ton would you appoint a man thai
had never seen the works and did not
know anything about II, simply be-
8 cause he voted the ticket that you
vote? My friends, the world that We
5 are about to live in, in the next q
years. is going TO be very different
world from what it has been.
How Judge Efficiency.
Now, if you have Il great admins
traitor appointed to position of eX'
traordinary power how will you judge
his efficiency in the conduct of tht
, enormous business interests VIII
which he is entrusted? Judge him by
his words? / Judge him by his ap
pointments
Il want to state a few things tha
are not very pleasant things to STATE
