preston are in retreat. Our measures
and policies have demonstrated their
effectiveness They have preserved the
American people from certain chaos and
have preserved a final fortress Of sta
mated in the thousands greeted the
Chief Executive and Mrs Hoover at
virtually every stop. Often he left the
train to address them.
Once a 2l-gun salute roared at the
arrival of the presidential party, and
again the whistles of a factory were
loosed full blast while the special train
passed.
As he crossed West Virginia and
swung through Ohio the President re-
iterated to audience after audience
that the country is beginning to right
itself" Again and again he asserted
that the Democratic party would lower
the protective tariff. the existence OF
which he said maintained the indus
tries of that particular section.
At one stop he spoke of agricultural
problems. saying farmers and busi-
ness men and workers are all in the
same boat" and must come ashore
together" The President launched his
first attack on Democratic tarif1 pro-
posals at Charleston West Virginia S
capital city, which the train reached
before in the morning.
Goes TO Stadium.
Escorted by a scarlet-coated band,
the President was driven to a nearby
foot ball stadium. which was almost
filled with a cheering throng. He de-
livered his speech from specially
built speakers stand in the middle OF
the gridiron.
He referred directly to his opponent
in the Charleston address. saying tne
Democratic candidate for President has
said that he and his party proposed 10
reduce the tariff:
He states that the protective tarih
is a ghastly Jest" Mr.. Hoover added
That becomes a curious description OF
the great industrial development OF
this State"
The President said that instead of
reducing the tariff. he had asked the
Tariff Commission to investigate
whether present levels were hign
enough to protect many commodities
against deprecated foreign currencies.
Cites immigration Ban.
President Hoover told a crowd OF
several thousands gathered around his
train at Columbus today he would con-
tinue until business RECEIVERS to en-
force the restricted immigration policy
established two years ago, which he
said had saved 100000 jobs for Ameri-
can citizens.
The presidential special arrived In
the Buckeye capital at 2:48 pm.
The Presidents immigration state
ment rounded out a series OF speecnes
through West Virginia and OHIO IA
which he attacked Democratic tarl1
policies, and over and over again haleo
what he called signs of business recov-
cry in all parts of the country.
The President said at Columbus:
ct have with me a letter from a cltl-
zen of Columbus, asking that l should
further expound our policies In respect
to immigration. l am glad TO answer
that inquiry. The Republican party
has been over these many years the
constant exponent and the constant
guardian of the protective tariff for
industry. It's major purpose has been
to protect the American workman IN
his standard of living and in the IN
creasing comfort of his home.
Must Protect Workers.
"If we are to maintain within our
borders our own industries, II we are
to maintain our standard Off living
higher than the rest of the world. the
handmaiden to that policy must Dc
that there should not be now OF
immigration, fleeing from the lower
standards of living abroad, flooding oul
country and offering to work for less
wage than the American workman, al
the gate of every factory in the Uniteo
States. It is Just as important to pro-
tect the American workman from the
movement Of people into the United
States to take over his job as to pro-
tect him from a flow of goods from
abroad which would take away his job
The United States has received In
, valuable contributions in its upbuild-
ing, in the growth Of its culture from
the migration of the various races OF
| Europe II has held its doors open tc
those who have fled from persecution
both religious and political. With the
growth of democracy in foreign eoun-
| tries. political persecution has largely
ceased. There is no longer a necessity
for the United States to provide an
| asylum for those prosecuted because
| Of conscience.
ut is important that we should re-
strict immigration in order that those
who are already resident in our coun'
try may not be driven into unemploy-
n1ent. We should be wise and humane
in our restrictions. 1t must not sepa'
rate families. It must not prevent the
coming into our country of the rela-
! tives of residents already here. 1t must
! in ordinary times allow flow OF selec-
tive stream of peoples to refresh oul
| population with the ideas and contrl-
| buttons of foreign countries to our CIVIL
zation.
Must Share in Advance.
1T must recruit from them our share
of their advancing skill and their ad-
vancing knowledge. 1t should be oaseo
| upon our determination OF who shaI
come. But in times of great crisis Ike
| the present, where we have millions ol
| unemployed, it is an injustice and IN
| humanity to our own residents that we
should allow the entry OF people fleeing
| from starvation abroad. The obligation
remains upon those countries TO taKe
| care of their own people.
Therefore, by executive order two
wears ago l stopped the entry OF al
| immigrants to the United States eX'
cept the relatives of residents who arr
| still here and few other minor execp'
tions. Two years have now passee
since that order was issued, II we hat
| had the same immigration during thes'
past two years that we had in the two
years previous we should have nearl!
a half million more unemployed in oul
country than We have today. Thi
would have added 100000 new immi
grants to be cared for by our public
bodies and by our charitable associa
tions. Or, alternatively. it would hav
! taken 100000 jobs from our resident
and thrust them upon public charity
II propose to continue this policy un
til the end of this depression, and afte
the end of the depression We propose II
continue the policy Of wise and selec
tive immigration of limited order"
