Roosevelt considers that all foreign
loans are wrong
Roosevelt Sold Bonds
Hoover then asserted that in 1928
Governor Roosevelt was engaged in
that business for profit and actively
occupied in promoting such loans" as
chairman Of the organization COM
mittee of the federal international
banking company.
Il have no reason to believe, and
I do not believe" the president said,
that the governors enterprise on this
occasion was not perfectly proper and
soundly founded. / do not wish to
convey that impression.
But the governor as a private pro-
moter for profit during the boom of
1928 believed and practiced what the
governor, as presidential candidate,
now denounces as immoral and a
cause of our calamities."
Turning to his charge in Cleveland
two weeks ago that the Democratic
national committee had circulated
"calumnies" in connecting him with
the employment of cheap Chinese la
Dor years ago, the president said:
THAT committee privately acknowl-
edges that these have not shred of
foundation. They refuse to take the
manly course and withdraw these
statements. They have sought to
maintain their continuing poison by
silence"
Denies Children Charge
The president then asserted the
committee had issued other "calum-
MES" and that Roosevelt had endors-
ed them. He referred to campaign
documents, saying: President Hoover
has failed the children" ''his real
interest in the nations children may
be gained by his recorded effort to
emasculate and disrupt the child
ren's bureau"
Il am not required 10 defend my
interest in children over the past
score of years. Hoover said. adding
that appropriations for the child
ren's bureau had increased under his
administration until cut by the
Democratic house.,
In still another direct reply to
Roosevelt Hoover referred to the
Democratic candidates statement that
the president had done absolutely
nothing to remedy the (economic)
situation until December. 1881.
1T seems almost incredible that a
man, a candidate for the presidency
of the United States, would broadcast
such a violation of the truth" the
chief executive said. citing instances
in which he commended he had acted
to remedy conditions.
The remainder of the presidents
speech was a discussion CT what he
called "Some of the continuing poll
cies of this administration in con-
trast with the policies of our oppon-
ents."
Cites Political Shift
Most of it dealt with the tariff, In
which he contended Roosevelt had re-
Gently made 1.-The most startling shift
in position by presidercia candidate
in the midst of a political campaigs
in all recent political history"
ROoSevelt's announcement that he
does not propose to reduce tariffs on
farm products, Hoover said, was a
shift of position in which the presi-
dent asserted he had thrown over
board the greatest historical position
of his party and rewritten the
Democratic platform"
Il myself am taking heart over this
debate the president said. eff it
could be continued long enough. I can
drive him from every solitary position
he has taken in this campaign. They
are all equally untenable.
Perhaps could get him to declare
himself upon other evasions and gen.
eralities. But even on the tariff, he
perhaps remembers the dreadful posi-
ton of the chameleon on the scotch
plaid"
Compares Positions
The president then compared posi-
