the nation over 10 democratic ru.e was issued by the president. He attacked the record of the House of representatives under democratic leadership.
 Tt is by their acts in congress and their leadership that you shall know them," he said.
 The democrats, he said, produced the cash bonus bill which was passed under their leadership by the House of Representatives.
 'I opposed it." said Mir Hoover. "It failed to pass the senate. Under that bill 1t was proposed to exl pend S2,300,000,000. Worse still, the bill they passed provided the bonus should be paid through the creation of sheer fiat money.
 "They passed 6 price fixing bill creating what might he called colloquially the rubber dollar opposed this. It was held up in the Senate. They passed a provi- sion for loans to corporations and everybody else whether they were affected and guarded by public in- terest or not. It would have made the government the most gigantic pawnbroker of history. vetoed this measure. They passed other measures with this same reckless disregard for the safety of the na- tion."
 MT Hoover defended the republi- can tariff policy as a staunch ally of the agriculturist and dechred the democratic proposed revision Of

appearances were booked across Indiana, ohio and Pennsylvania where originally swift dash back to Washington had been planned.
 Hard hitting emphasis and touches of humor marked MT Hooyers address at Des Moines.
 The democratic party, he said, must be judged by record of "reckless disregard for the safety of the nation" All hope of recov- cry will end if the democratic pro gram of the bonus and rubber dollars" prevails. the president charged.
 In the state where farmers dis affection Is critical and a parade of protest preceded the presidents appearance, the executive outlined his program of aid for agriculture.
 He would apply war debt pay ments toward expansion of foreign markets for agriculture. He would widen the protective tariff for farm products where necessary, provide easier farm credit to relieve pres sure of mortgage foreclosures and repeal the price stabilization fea- lures of the Farm Marketing act.
 For the first time MT Hoover revealed in his Des Moines speech that at one crucial moment of the
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-10-05

tries drained us of nearly a billion dollars of gold and vast amount of other exchange. Then we had also to meet an attack upon our flank by some of our own people to the amount of $1,500,000,0 900. This brought it's own train of fall ures and bankruptcies.
 "Even worse, many of our less patriotic citizeLs started to export their money to foreign countries for fear we should be forced onto q paper money basis.
 Being forced off the gold stand ard in the United States meant ut- ter chaos. Never was our nation in greater peril, not alone in banks and financial systems, money and currency, but that forcbode dam gers, moral and social chaos, with years of conflict and derange- ment."
 He told then of the reconstruc- ton program set up to halt these demoralizing influences.
 We won this battle to protect our people at home." he said. We held the Gibraltar of world stabil- ity. The world to o-day has a chance. Let that man who complains that things could not be worse thank God for this victory and make rev

i, the tarlff would increase the seri- ousness of the farmers plight.
 Though he did not mention Gov ernor Franklin D. Roosevelt by name, he was apparently in mind when Mir Hoover referred to ''an amazing statemnet" made in Iowa a few days ago to the effect the republican tariff brought drain of foreign nations gold reserves which forced them of the gold standard. Mir Hoover denied this was true.
 The democratic assertion that the high republican tarin has re- suited in rcprisals abroad contains "half dozen suppressions of truth" he said.
 MT Hoover declared the federal farm board with the exception of the stabilization features had proved benefit to agriculture. These stabilization activities. he said, were opposed to his theory of government and he announced himself ready for their repeal.
 In connection with his program for improving the condition of the farmer, the president said the de- partment of agriculture was study ing the problem of diversion of un- profitable farm lands to other uses.
 "The republican platform con- tains a plank which constitutes the first declaration upon this subject" he said. "I shall bc happy to sup

Enroute to Washington, D. c. with President Hoover, oct 5- (UP)-President Hoover launched a fighting optimistic campaign for reelection to-day, spurred by the enthusiastic reception of his open ing defense of his administration and attack on his opponents at Des Moines.
 The presidents address took up three broad subjects-the battle waged by the administration In de- fense of the gold standard and against facilitating influences of the world economic crisis, a slash ing attack on policies of the demo- cratic party, and plan for con tinued rehabilitation of the nation with special emphasis on agricui- ture.
 The success of Mir Hoover's an- pearance, the great throngs which cheered the sight of the executive and absence of any untoward in- cident went far toward restoring the somewhat shaken morale of re- publican advisors.
 The president, himself. was In visibly better spirits. His vigorous reception whetted an appetite for more. A series of rear platform

depression Andrew Mellon warned him that unless an immediate rem edy were found the United States "could hold on to the gold standard only two weeks longer"
 With quiet drama, MT Hoover told the story of the fight to hold the United States to the gold stand ard while monetary system of na- ton after nation crumbled under the strain.
 "In the midst of this hurricane" Mir Hoover said, "the republican administration kept a cool head and rejected every counsel or weakness and cowardice. Many of these battles have had to be fought in silence without the cheers of the limelight or the encouragement of public support because the very disclosure of the forces opposed 10 us would have undermined the courage of the weak and induced panic. Hideous misrepresentation and unjustlied complaint had to be accepted in silence.

by two Of the most discussed develop

The rallying of Republicans at the
Iowa capital and of Democrats on the
Hudson not only were first-page news
in themselves, but each now seems like
ly to lead to other interesting things
in the month remaining before the
election.
Having had his first taste of cross

F0XHALL VILLAGE
SCHOOL OPPOSED
Residents Say. Property
Values Would Be Hurt by
Proposed Location.

A group of residents of FoXhall Viii
lage today called On the D strict CUnl-
miss.oners to protest against erect on
of school on the west side OF Foxhall
road, opposite @ street.
To put the school there, the resi-
dents claimed, would depreciate the
value of their property more than 10
per cent. One of the main reasons sug-
gested was that the school and its in
tended playground would attract an un-
desirable class of children which live
near the village but not in it.
On this subject a document present.
ed by the protes.ants said:
The FoXhall Village Citizens Asso-
citation recently was instrumental IN
obtaining playground ON tins site. A
gala opening was had. attended py the
children of the villagers and others from
several blocks around. The others re-
ferred to were such an undesirable eIe-
ment that from the very day OF open
ing the children OF Foxhall Village could
not use the playground.
Those who continued to use the
grounds made themselves obnoxious by
coming upon our lawns, even sitting
on the front porch of one OF our petl-
tioners and swearing so profanely that
the petitioners were compelled to keep
their front doors and windows closed"
The petitioners suggested that the
school be built On a site on Reservoir
road to the west of ST Fatrick's S
Church, which would not interfere with
any prospective residential develop
ments.
They said one Of the principal attrac-
tions of the village is its quiet. which
would be destroyed by the presence Of
a school and playground.
The Foxhall road site already has
been purchased, and plans for a school
there have been approved by the Com
missioners However. the city heads
took the protest under advisement.
