Roosevelt Says He
Was Misguided ON
U. S. League Votes
Expressed Belief We Would
Receive Ballots of Other
American Republics if
Interests Were in Danger

KITTERY, Maine, Sept. 2.-Franklin
D. Roosevelt began to-day three-days'
speaking tour of Maine in connection
with the state campaign. Addresses
were scheduled to-day in Kittery, Old
Orchard, Westbrook and Portland.
On his way here Mr.. Roosevelt made
the following statement:
ION my return to the East I find
that wide publicity has unfortunately
been given an erroneous report of a
speech made by me in Butte, Mont,
nearly three weeks ago in regard to the
votes of various American repub-
lies in the assembly of the League
of Nations. feel certain that the
misquotation was entirely unin-
territorial
ut has been charged that declared
that the United States would, if a
member Of the league. control or have
the votes of at least twelve West In
dian, Central or South American re-
publics.
~ should think it, would be obvious
that one who has been so largely in
touch with foreign relations through
the Navy Department during the past
seven years could not make deliber-
ate false statement Of this kind.
What I actually stated, and what l
have continued to state. is this: The
League of Nations assembly gives a
vote to all nations irrespective of their
size. Every American republic, in
Guiding the smaller ones in the West
Indies and Central and South America,
could have such vote by membership
in the league. History has shown that
the international interests of the
United States and at least a dozen of
these republics are broadly identical
Our course has been their course and
theirs ours. This has been abundant
~ proved in the past. 1t is also true
in my judgment, that in any grave in
ternational question coming before the
assembly of the League of Nations the
+ United States would vote with these
republics and they would vote with the
United States. This is based on the
fact of common interest and of his
torical precedent.
IL feel certain that if in the assem-
bly, the British Empire with six votes
were to cast them in a manner con-
trary to American interests the United
States would find the great majority
of the other American republics would
be in accord with our position because
of mutual interests"

than 1000 of the 1900 longshoremen

kilograms were read by Francis

Galveston would go out on q similar
strike against England within twenty
four hours.
When Ryan announced that labor
throughout the world hereafter would
refuse to load British ships, he was
greeted with cheers which lasted for
several minutes.
A resolution, which was adopted
unanimously and which will be sent
broadcast to labor, follows:
ave hereby pledge our undying adj
herencc to cease work on British ships
throughout the world until England
recognizes the Irish Republic, bows her
head on the altar of labor, and takes
the terms handed down by American
also pledge that until Archbishop Man
nix enters Ireland, the Lord Mayor Of
Cork is released and British troops are
withdrawn from Ireland, means will be
found to compel the British govern

1t was announced that this protest
would not affect American ships.

Truce Is Signed in
Apartment House Fight
Tenants and Landlord Agree to
Settle Difficulties After
24-HOur Siege

After the apartment house at 1902
West Eightieth street had been in a
state of siege for nearly twenty-four
hours, during which the new owners had
attempted to take possession and the
tenants had refused them admittancc
fearing eviction, a temporary truce was
signed yesterday by both sides after a
hearing before Magistrate Max S.
Levine in the West Side Court.
The truce was advised by the Judge
and both agreed to 1t when tenants and
landlord declared they could settle
their difficulties out Of court.
The Ormond Realty Company recent

the Anderson apartments. The tenants
said the former owner had given them
oral leases covering occupancy from
to month and refused to vacate
before October /.
When the new owners attempted to
take possession the lease holders re-
fused them admittance, and on Wednes-
day the house was in a state of siege
