 T am not here on any mission. But until the United States, with it's mighty influence and great power, it's great moral command, casts it's influence on the scale of peace, I de- spair of the future.
 You said you want to forget the war. Don't forget So far from for getting. I trust the United States will once more in due time in it's own way cast it's great might into the scale of peace."
 "Contincnt Of Peace.'
 The American continent. Lloyd George said, lis a continent of peace, with the most remarkable frontier in the world, the long unguarded line between the United States and Canada.
 Tn Gods name, keep it that way he urged. You are showing an ex- | ample to the world; keep it. l wish | Europe would follow your example of peace. It is worth a European's time to ceme here to see thetansel of peace lowering over your great land We in Europe have driven the angel l away. I wish it would visit us again."
 He said he came to America Ito see your great and amazing new civiliza- ton, which is free from the hatreds anl problems that afflict Europe"
 He has been struck, he added. with the similarity between some of the problems of America and Europe, but here their solution Is easier because of the country's unbounded resources.
 T have heard much of your mid dle west" he said, "and I wanted es- pecially to see 1t. During the war we were told in London that we could not get this or that because the mid dle west would not permit 1t: or we were told 'such the middle west might hear you and they would not like it. I believe it is the section of the country which almost baffles your politicians.

SALARY RAISES

Commission Decides To Make Provision For Partial Meet ing Of Demands Of Police And Fire Departments
 BUDGET OCCUPIES BOARDS ATTENTION ENTIRE DAY Increases To Be Effective From October 1-Financial Outline For Year Not To Be Ready For Adoption Tuesday

Birmingham's approximately 400 policemen and f1remen Will receive salary increases, but it will be less than the S25 per month average they have asked for, Commissioner William L. Harrison stated Monday afternoon of tlie city commission on budget for the new fiscal year.
 No other business was transacted at the city hall Monday by the -commis- sioners. All their time was spent on the budget, "a wTangle with figures" {" with no definite conclusion reached as Commissioner Harrison termed it, except the decision to increase sal aries of the policemen and firemen Ito the limit of funds available"
 The whole matter is one of such proportions as to require incessant and long drawn out figuring to settle, and will not be disposed of before the last of the week at the earliest, ac- cording to indications Monday.
 Tt will be impossible to adopt the new budget Tuesday" MT. Harrison stated.
 The salary increases of policemen and firemen are to be effective from October 1, the beginning of the new fiscal year.
 'The commission is working on a graduating scale or plan whereby it will be possible to increase these men gradually, or so much at stated periods until the limit is reached" " MT. Harrison said. Tt will be i'm possible to grant the S25 asked foI in the face of numerous other press ing financial needs of the city, but we intend adding pay to their sal aries that will prove of material aid to the men,"
 Provision also will be made, 1t is understood, for an increase for new men added to the two forces. These men are hired on an average salary of s110 per month, with a periodical raise until $125 is reached.
 The entire working time of the balance of the week is expected to be occupied by Commission on the new budget, on which no definite figures are ready for announcement.

BORAH DENOUNCES HIGHER UPssn { WHO VIOLATE DRY LAW
Militant Senator Also Scores Reds Who Plot To Destroy
 Constitution

WASHINGTON Oct. 15.-Wealthy Americans who violate the Eight eenth amendment, and Reds who denounce constitutional provisions designed to protect property, Senator Borah of Idaho, declared in an ad- dress here today, "are both travelling the road of lawlessness, sowing the seeds of destruction and undermining the whole fabric of law and order" The senator spoke before the citizen ship conference on shall the consti- tuition of the United States be nulli- fled"
 -"The not bed and noisy rendezvous of lawlessness. of cynical defiance to the Eighteenth amendm ent," he de- clared, are among those of social standing, or large property interests, and in the wealthier homes. Without their patronage. their protection, and their example, the bootleggers would be easily within the control of the law. The Red" sits in his darkly lighted room around his poorly laden table and dehounces those provisions of the constitution placed there to protect property. The white sits in his brilliantly lighted room about his richly laden table. and defies or denounces the provision of the con stitution placed there in the belief that it would protect the home.
 Revoke Or support.
 These men have a perfect right to change the constitution, or any part of it. in the way by which changes are permitted. But as long as it stands there, it is entitled to their earnest and conscientious sup port. You cannot have protection to property, your security for life, the things which you prize and deeply cherish, lt you continue to teach dis regard for the things which chal- - lenge your opposition. What one citl- zen may like another may dislike and we shall soon witness a general assault upon the whole structure"
 "Prohibitionist or anti-prehibi- tionist, sober or drunk, We ought as country and be willing to support the law so long as it is the .aw.'
 But such are the effects of war i'll breeding hate and intolerance that men are in prison today and have been for six years in absolute violation of the fundamental princt- ples of the first amendment to the Constitution, there. not for violence not for assaults upon life or proper- ty. but for the expression of their political views. But what Is even more startling, they are there with out any legal evidence upon which to hold them.
 ., .- o o O
 speaks For All Laws.
 "I would count myself a whining hypocrite to come here to insist upon the enforcement of Eighteenth amendment and remain silent upon the utter disregard of the First amendment If l cannot speak for the constitution as a whole, I should not speak at all. And if l don't re- spect the constitution as a whole, I am unfit to speak in behalf of any part of it."
