PRESIDENT WARNS
STATES OF PERILS
Power Being Centralized Too
Much, He Says in Lincoln
Day Address.

Through microphone placed upon
the table at which Abraham Lincoln
signed the emancipation proclamation
President Hoover told the American
people last night that the present fur
nishes a critical test for the principles
and ideals of his great predecessor.
Today. as in Lincolns day, he told
his radio audience, States rights, the
relationship of Federal, State and local
government responsibilities form the
dominant problem.
Victory over this depression and our
other difficulties" he said, will be won
by the resolution of our people to fight
their own battles in their own COM
munities, by stimulating their ingenuity
to solve their own problems, by taking
new courage to be masters of their own
destiny in the struggle of life. This Is
not the easy way, but it is the Ameri-
can way. And it was L1ncolns way"
Scene Is Pictured.
For his far-scattered listeners the
President, in terse words, pictured the
scene in the Lincoln study from which
he delivered the anniversary address.
The view from the windows looking
toward the Washington Monument
which was building in Lincoln's day;
the chairs in which the cabinet de-
bated the grave problems of the Civil
War, the tablet over the mantelpiece
bearing an inscription recalling the
deliverance from slavery of 100000
Negroes, were described simply. The
Presidents voice expressed his deep
feeling. He recalled, too, that, working
here by day and by night, Lincoln could
hear the cannon that echoed in the
deep struggle between the States.
Warning his millions of listeners of

No effort was made to curb the well
