should have full liberty of action to make the most of himself; but I did not believe that in the name of that sacred word a few powerful interests should be permitted to make industrial cannon-fodder of the lives of half of the population of the United States. II believe in the sacredness of private property, which means that 1 do not believe that 1t should be subjected to the ruthless manipu- lation of professional gamblers in the stock markets and in the cor porate system.
 "I believe that the overnment, without becoming a prying bureau cracy, can act as a check or lcounter-balance to this oligarchy so as to secure initiative, life, a chance to work, and the safety of savings to men and women, rather than safety of exploitation to the ex- ploiter, safety of manipulation to the financial manipulator, safety of unlicensed power to those who would speculate to the bitter end with the welfare and property of other people.
 we must get back to first prin- ciples; we must take American in- dividualism as what it was intended to be-equality of opportunity for all, the right of exploitation for none. Before this campaign is end- cd, shall state fully to the coun- try my policies with regard to the conduct of government. Some of these policies I have already set forth"
 The Hoover policy of relief he summed up in one section of his address as one of "buy more, owe more and spend more."
 Roosevelt wound up with this admonition:
 "The confidence which the ad- ministration has asked us as indi- Wdual citizens to have in ourselves, is not enough. The kind of con- fidence we need most is confidence in the integrity of the soundness, the liberalism, the vision and the ld-fashioned horse-sense of our national leadership.
 Without that kind of confidence we are forever insecure. With that kind of confidence the future is ours to conquer"

SEA DOG SEES RUSSIA FADING

Houston, - GU. P.) - Russia to-day, as seen by a British Sea captain, who makes monthly jour neys there with Texas cotton, is Q nation paralyzed of three per cent of it's population.
 ''It is ever becoming more eager to reach out and drag other na- tions into communism" said Cap- tain B. D. Thomas, of the freighter New Westminster City. The hold of his ship was receiving bales of cotton for Murmansk. Something should be done about it, but I'm afraid it's too late. The country reeks of propa- ganda, while the people stumble duly along under a hypnotic state induced by their change from a two-class country to a non-class country.
 daresay they were happier in the days of the czar than they ever will be in the days of the Tcheka, or its even more dreadful successor the GPW."
 In the czar's time, said Thomas, the peasant with one ruble could buy 8 basket of vegetables. To-day. he asserted, the peasant with 8 basket of rubles can not get one vegetable.
 The hope that resumption of in- ternational trade will awaken Russia to decency and its econom- ic needs is fading fast, Thomas said.
 "The United States should recog- nize the Soviet. think" he said. "It would give Russia a bit of money and would aid the United States in that the entire Russian trade would quicken and provide freer international circulation
