Now 1 say this: Two wrongs

absolutely wrong in 1928.
There can be no bigOtry and
there can be no resentment in
the Catholic heart. We have

In his excoriation Of the Ad
ministration's failure to foresee
the economic slump or remedy it
he accused President Hoover OF
failure also to understand Amer
ica's foreign difficulties.
He quoted the Presidents De
troit speech in which the Presi
dent said:
ct can be demonstrated that
the tide has turned and that the
gigantic forces of depression are
in retreat"
Smith went on:
"Why, the real fact is, If you
take New York as a barometer,
and it ought to be q fair one,
there are more people out Of
work today than there were this
time year ago.
"The real truth is that for a
year and a half President
Hoover refused to recognize this
condition. He had statistics
come from his departments to
deny it, and he lived in the eter-
nal hope that it might cure it.
self, and the favOrite expression
was prosperity is just around
the corner"
Laughter echoed through the
huge auditorium as Smith cited
the words of the President to the
effect the forces of depression
were in retreat. He said:

acknowledge it (the existence
of the depresSiOn) he spent two

these problems in our party"
Smiths major time was devoted
TO detailing what he called lit
tie melodrama. entitled The Re
publican Failure or What Hap
pened to the Republican Best
Minds"
He attacked the President and
his high command" The trouble
with President Hoover, said
Smith, was that "he lacks leader
ship even over the members of
his own party, and what is more,
he lacks the power of appeal to
the people themselves, that in
the last analysis can handle any
legislature"
Hits Endless Chain "Trick"
"A epublican trick" he
branded the use of postal cards
in an endless chain" to voters
asking them to write in Smiths
name on the ballot in the Novem-
ber election.
This, Smith said, was a plot
to cut down votes for Roosevelt,
would help neither Smith nor
the voter doing SO, and could
only endanger the country by i'm
pairing the chances for a Demo
cratic victory.
The former New York governor
briefly referred to his Newark
speech and reasserted his charge
that he believed the Republican
party to be one of bigotry which
in 1923 raised the religious issue
against him. He said:

James Thorsen and Fritz Dewall,

Although the survivors had not

only some dried flour, they we're
said to need only rest and sleep.
William r. Robertson, Redondo

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3d.
Don't make friends with any

This warning was issued

1t is intended to protect peo-

Some of the breeding aviaries
of southern California, where
birds of the parrot family are
raised, are infected with psit-

Department Not Trying to Effect
all Possible Economies, Is Claim.
By ScrippS-H otoGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Repre-
sentative James M. Mead, chairman
of the. house postof1ce committee,
today criticised the postoff1ce de-
partment for not trying to effect
economies by curtailing subsidies
and postal leases.
Salaries of postal workers have
been reduced" said Mead. THAT
reduction has been compensated
partially by lower prices. But the
lease owners, and those who enjoy
subsidies, should not be exempt.
IF the pruning knife were ap-
piled to these leases and subsidies,
the savings realized materially could
reduce the deficit and provide funds
for more employment for postal
workers.
