Of the leading factors in carrying the
country through this dark period.
Also the President saw busy people as
he Travelled through the great Mid
Western plain. He saw growing crops
which in themselves were heartening.
The villages and towns seemed cheerful
and busy.
1t may be true. as is claimed by many
political observers, that because of
straitened economic conditions the Mid
West Is in the grip of widespread
political disaffection. It can not be
denied that in every State visited by
the President the Democrats last year
gained important local and State VIC
tories. But regardless OF how they
voted in 1880 and may vote in 1882 the
people CT the Midwest turned out to
see their President and they were
friendly in their greetings.
Some observers are attribut!ng much
significance to the fact that nowhere
was there tumultuous quality to the
welcomes. They cite the fact that in

Not Of ''Rabble Rising" Type.
That was true. It was also true Of
the other places the President visited.
It has always been true of the Presi-
dent. The same thing happened in the
1928 campaign. Nowhere throughout
that contest did he ever receive popu-
lar reception that anywhere near ap-
preached the pitch of enthusiasm dis
played for his Democratic opponent.
President Hoover simply does not
lend himself to that sort of thing. He
probably would like to, but it Is not in
him. He is not Of the rabble-rising
type to use political colloQuialism.
The Democrats and his other OPP
ponents are making much over the fact
and deriving considerable political sat

matter is meaningless and offer various
explanations. Time alone will give NE
answer.

SPRINGFIELD, H., June 1S.-PreSi-
dent Hoover's speech at the Lincoln
tomb was as follows:
The people of Illinois have taken
just pride in the restoration and beau
tiflcation of the tomb of their greatest
citizen-Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth
President of the United States. This
memorial was erected and dedicated 81
years ago. Another great citizen of Illi-
nois--the eighteenth President of the
United States, Ulysses s. Grant-made
proper that President of the United
States should take part in its rededica-
ton at this time.
This, the tomb Of Lincoln, Is a shrine
to all Americans. The stone and mar

are more than physical reminders of
the mighty past of our country. They
are symbols of things Of the spirit.
Through the men and deeds they COM
memorate they renew our national
ideals and our aspirations. 1t Is re-
freshment Of the national soul to as
semble in these places and to direct
the thoughts Of our people to these
occasions and to recall the men and
their deeds which builded the Republic
It is an awakening of pride in the
glories of the past and an inspiration to
faith in the future. These are the
springs which replenish that most sacred
stream of human emotions-patriotism
Nothing that we may say here can
add to the knowledge or devotion OF
our people to the memory of Abraham
Lincoln. Nothing we may do can ado
to his stature in history. All that words
can convey has long since been uttered
by his grateful countrymen.

generation may again pay tribute tc
the man who not only saved the Union
and gave freedom to a race, but who
recreated the ideals and inspirations OF
American life.
A nation in its whole lifetime flowers
with but a few whose names remain
upon the roll Of the world in after
generations. Lincoln after all these
years still grows, not only in the hearts
Of his countrymen, but in the hearts Of
the peoples of the world.
It is not new, yet it Is eternally true!
to state that Lincoln made universal
appeal to the minds and hearts OF men.
His every aspiration was for the unity
and welfare of his country. He became
a triumphant force in achieving that
ideal. because he saw the problems OF
his time not only from the standpoint
of the statesman, but of the average

German Officials TO Discuss Repara-

BERLIN, June Is (Eo.-Fortifled by
some degree of peace and confidence on
their home political front, Chancellor
Bruening and Foreign Minister Curtius
have made preparations for their next
move in the delicate problem OF
achieving revision Of reparations.
They are getting ready for series Of
conferences with the German Ambas-
sailors to the creditor nations. at which
the viewpoints of the various govern
mentS concerned will be thoroughly
surveyed.
Carl Won Schubert, Ambassador to
Italy, already is in Berlin. Leopold
Won HoeSch, envoy to France, arrives
from Paris tomorrow and Ambassador
Ven Prittwitz. Germany's representative
In the United States, is expected
shortly.
At the foreign office. reparations ex-
perts are working feverishly getting data
in shape for the Ambassadorial Confer
ences, but official information on Bruen-
ing's plans was extremely scare-ncr
is 1t expected that the curtain of reti-
cence will be lifted appreciably until
after Secretary OF State Stimson arrives
in the middle of July.
Tha highest Importance Is attached
by the press to the visits of Secretary
Stimson and Secretary or the Treasury
Mellon. The expectation in well in
formed circles is that Germany will
invoke the moratorium provisions OF
the Young plan soon after the situa-
ton has been laid before these repre-
sentativeS Of the United States-in
other words, early in August.

Judge Turrentine made two major
points in his instructions. He told the
jurors that Lydia Nitto, complaining

States evidence, and Helen Livingston,
associate of Miss Nitto, should be re-
garded as accomplices in the alleged

Secondly, he said, the defendants
must be acquitted unless they found
that Miss Nitto was minor at the
time of the alleged law violation. Miss

DR.. FELIPE ESPIL TO SUCCEED
MALBRAN AS ARGENTINE ENVOY
Present Ambassador Informs
Secretary Stimson Of
Transfer.
Speculation Surrounds His
Departure in View of
Recent Speech.

Ambassador Malbran OF Argentina
called on Secretary of State Stimson
today to inform him personally Of his
transfer to London.
Following nearly an hours confer
ence with the Secretary, Ambassador
Malbran explained that was the object
Of his call and that otherwise only gen
eral matters had been discussed.
The retiring Ambassador. who will
be succeeded by DR.. Felipe Espil, former
counselor of the Washington embassy,
will leave Washington on June rs and
sail for Buenos Aires the following day
from New York.
Goes 10 Buenos Aires.
He said his plans for staying there
were only tentative, but indicated he
planned to spend but q few days before
proceeding to London to occupy his new
post and rejoin his family. The Ambas-
sador returned last night from New
York, where he saw his family on for
Europe.
Ambassador Maibran explained his
transfer was nothing out of the
ordinary. but resulted from the vagrancy
which occurred recently in the London
mission and his selection to occupy it.
He definitely discounted speculation
which has been made in some quarters
that there may have been some con-
nection between his transfer and the
recent speech he made in New York
concerning United 5tates-Argentine
trade relations and the prohibitive OPP
Grafton Of United States tariffs against
some Of his country's products.
Speech Not Questioned.
1t previously was known that the
State Department had hot questioned
the envoy on his speech, which had
been interpreted by some observers as
highly critical of United States tariffs.
The Ambassador himself Is understood
not to have intended his address as
criticism Of the tariffs, but only state
ment of the different points Of view Of
the two countries with respect to that
feature Of their commercial relations.
The retiring diplomat said he was
gratifled to have been chosen for the
London position and looked forward
with pleasure to his service there, but
he felt also keen regret over leaving
the United States, where he said he
had enjoyed the most pleasant relations
both during the last six months of his
service here as Ambassador for the
second time and during the few months
he was here in 1928. He spoke par
ticularly of the cordial relations he had
experienced with State Department
officials and with ofilcial and social
Washington as a whole.

Senator King, Democrat. of Utah,
ranking minority member Of the Sem

day he would be opposed to increasing
taxes on automobiles and gasoline, as
proposed in the program of the special
House Committee on Fiscal Relations.
Although reserving final Judgment

lance tax. On these two subjects, how
ever, the Utah Senator intends to work
out plans Of his own in the form Of

Senator King said his present view
was that an increase in the gasoline
tax and q new tax on the weight of
automobiles would not be necessary.
The recommendation Of the House Com
mittee was that the gasoline tax be
doubled from 2 to cents q gallon.

tary of State Henry l.. Stimson reaches
French soil In July, Ambassador Walter

BRAND, he will want to meet leaders
Of the government informally to dis
cuss outstanding international ques-
lions and to obtain at first hand the
French viewpoint.
He will seek the French viewpoint,
the Ambassador said, on all problems,
whether they be reparations, war debts
or problems Of general economics and
finance.
The Secretary has requested that no
off1cial series Of functions be held in
his honor, and French leaders will re-
spect this wish.
The Secretary of State will find a
friendly atmosphere here. Frenchmen
have not forgotten that he insisted upon
volunteering during the World War and
that he served at the front as an artil-
lery officer. Here his name Is linked
frequently with that Of Gen. Dawes,
who had charge Of the American Army
communications and transports during
the war.
Mr.. Stimson, the Ambassador said,
wants to get picture of the present
day world as France paints it, but he
also wants to see his old Army friends
and to visit again the battlefront where
he served as a soldier.

His visit to the battlefields will be

Into the single week he will be here

things. He will be the house guest of
Ambassador Edge, who will give one
or two dinners to which French states
men will be invited, including Premier
Laval and Foreign Minister BRAND.
He will also probably meet President

Interested In Tariff.
Ambassador Malbran has taken par
ticular interest in the tariff situation
as affecting Argentine products, on
which duty reductions have been asked
in some instances. He was expected,
therefore, to report to his government
before going to London on the results
of his studies here and the aspect of
the situation concerning Argentine
products.
The Ambassador and his family have
been prominent in the activities of the
diplomatic corps since their arrival last
November. He was faced by busy
round of farewell calls and last-minute
embassy business during the few re-
naming days of his service here.
Graduated from the University of
Buenos Aires in 1914, Espn practiced
law for several years. He entered the

ciate the real meaning OF his life VIC
need to contemplate him As the product
of the people themselves, as the farm
boy, the fence builder, the soldier, the
country lawyer, the political candidate.
the legislator and the President as well
as the symbol Of sunion and Of human
rights.
Memorial Fitting.
1t is fitting that we should rededicate
his hallowed resting place, that we
should thus recall to every American
mind and heart the contribution which
Lincoln made to the greatness OF our
Nation. But 1t was Lincoln himself
whose insight and, splendid expression
Illuminated the true purpose Of our as
Sembly at national shrines. 1t was he
who at Gettysburg called upon the peo-
pie not so much to mourn the dead as
to honor them by q rededication Of
themselves to the service Of their coun-
try. He said in that memorable ad-
dress:
1T is for us, the living, rather TO be
dedicated here I" 10 the great task
remaining before U.S." That should be
our purpose and resolve today.
The six decades which have passed
since Lincoln's death have written on
the scroll of history changes bewilder-
ing in their variety, mornentous In their
consequences. They have broadened
and enriched life beyond the imagina-
tons Of Lincoln's contemporaries. The
years have not only yielded rich treas
ures, material and spiritual, but they
have brought challenges to readjust-
ment, both by government and indi-
viduals, to changing world. Our
country has become powerful among
nations. 1t Is charged with infinitely
new responsibilities. both at home and
abroad.
Heritage Worth Keeping.
What a poet has called the endless
adventure, the government of men, dis
closes new and changing human needs
from generation to generation. AS we
scan our history even since his day,
who can doubt Lincoln's own words
that our national heritage is worth the
keeping" And 1t was Lincoln who
stated and restated in impressive terms
that its keeping rests upon obedience
and enforcement Of law. There can be
no man in our country who, either by
his position or his influence, stands
above the law. That the Republic can
not admit and still live. For ours is
government of laws and q society of
ordered liberty safeguarded only by law.
The eternal principles Of truth, JUS
tice and right. never more clearly
stated than by Lincoln, remain the
solvent for the problems and perplexi-
ties of every age and OF cur day. 1t is
to those who, like Lincoln. have made
there principles serve the needs of man
kind that the world pays its homage.
At his shrine we light the torch of our
rededication to the service and ideals
Of the Nation which he loved and served
with the last full measure of devotion.
