SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-In
his address at the luncheon giUen
him By the San Francisco DotOn.
ToWn Association, Chamber OF
Commerce and the ciUic groups,
William Randolph Hearst said:
1t looks as If I were going
to be talking for the rest Of
my days about the secret
Anglo-French treaty which I
revealed and which resulted in
my expulsion from France.
I have no apology to make to
France for securing the treaty.
The apologies should be on her
part for negotiating the treaty.
What I want you to under.
stand, my friends, is that no
dishonorable means we're en-
ployed in obtaining the treaty.
We obtained it by the most
direct methods, plus persuasion
and plus that persistence which
makes newspaper men such a
nuisance at times, but which
is very necessary in our busi-
ness and, in fact in any other
business. Our methods were so
direct. and so open and honest
that they remind me Of, an in
cident which occurred once on
one Of my Chicago papers.

able to get picture of this
lady, although all had tried in

Reporters had disguised them
selves as plumbers and tried to
get into the lady's house. Other

servants, and one ventureSome

confidently submit my case to
your Judgment.
i am deeply grateful to the
people of San Francisco for hav-
ing forgotten the many errors
and failures Of my career, and
for having remembered only
my few achievements.
lam grateful to my old friend,
Mayor Rolph who, it seems to
me, must have been born mayor
Of San Francisco and who is
certainly one of the finest and
truest public servants that any
fortunate city ever had.
I am grateful to the board

low Californians, I am glad to

SAN FRANCISCO, oct. IT.
'"This is a prosperous country
and we are a prosperous people, "
william Randolph Hearst said
upon arriving here last night to
be guest of the city at numerous
civic receptions.
The publisher was speaking
from observations made during
his recent trip across the United
States. He declared that America
is as prosperous as the people
make it.
He continued:
'There is not as much pros.
perity as last year, perhaps, nor
as much as there will be next
year at this time. but conditions
are improving, and the country
Is just as prosperous as we want
it to be.
"The circle Of buying is re-
Sulming. The shops are selling
in larger quantities, which
means that factory production
is increasing, and this in turn
means more wages and more
buying.
People are buying automO-
biles and they are buying other
things. A man may 60 through

His expulsion from France
was not entirely the result of
his exposure of the secret

said:

debt occasionally"
