Roosevelt said in his telegram, "oi
course it is absurd to talk Of lowering
tariff duties on farm products I de-
clare that all prosperity in the broad

promised to endeavor to restore the
purchasing power Of the farm dollar
by making the tariff effective for ag-
riculture and raising the price Of
farm products. know Of no effec-
tive excessively high tariff duties Oh
farm products. I do not intend thai
such duties shall be lowered. To do
so would be inconsistent with my en-.

Il take the occasion of Navy Day
to remind the nation that the ma

solemn obligation placed upon the
federal government by the constitu-
ton. Our people have ever been low
ers Of peace and they have consis-
tently pursued a policy designed to
preserve national rights by peaceful
negotiation wherever possible, rather
than resort to arms.
This administration has spared
no reasonable effort to bring about
an agreement Of all nations upon a
reduction Of arms. upon the ratios
agreed upon at the London naval
conference. Our patience in these
negotiations has never for q moment
jeopardized the safety of the United
States. These efforts are making
progress. If these efforts finally fail.
We shall be compelled. by reason of
the disturbed conditions prevailing
throughout the world and the nee
essity of protecting American COM
merce, to build our navy to the full
strength provided In the London
agreement, equal to that Of the most
powerful in the world. I need scarce
ly suggest the vast expenditures that
would be involved by that necessity,
or the blow that it would deal to one
Of the most cherished aspirations Of
