Mr.. Roosevelt said:
believe sincerely that the most i'm
pelllng motive that has lain behind
the conversations which we're success
fuIly concluded yesterday between Rus
Sia and the United States was the
desire for peace and for strengthening
OF the peaceful purpose of the civilized
world

spreading stadium field. who had ap-
plauded the Presidents previous at

Calls Critics Tories"
1t has been remarked of late by
reference to his monetary policy. that
those who are today in charge of the
government are guilty of great expert
mentatiOn.
II | read my history right, the same
suggestion was used when Englishmen.
protesting In vain against intolerable
conditions at home founded new COL
onleS IN the American wilderness, and
when Washingtons and Adamses and
Bullocks conducted another great ex-
pertinent in 1776."
In his stand for the new monetary
policy, the President added:
While we are celebrating the plant
ing OF the Colony of Georgia, we remem-
Der that if the early settlers had been
content TO remain on the coast, there
would have been no Georgia today.
1t was the spirit of moving forward
that led to the exploration of the great
domain OF Piedmont and mountains that
drove the western border of the COLONY
70 the very banks of the Mississippi
River itself
In all those years of the pioneer.
there were the doubling Thomases, there
was the persistent opposition of those
who feared change of those who PLAYED
the part OF the mule. who had to be
goaded to get him out of the stable"
Removes Doubt of Plan.
This left no doubt among listeners
that he intended to go ahead with his
world gold control policy in his pursuit
OF a managed currency and commodity
dollar.
With a broad smile, the President
Veered from his monetary defense to
remark: THE saving grace of America
lies IN the TACT that the overwhelming
majority Of Americans are possessed of
two great qualities sense of humor
and sense of proportion.
With the one they smile at those
who who would divide up all the money in
the Nation on per capita basis eYery
saturday night and at those who lament
that they would rather possess pounds
and francs than dollars
With our sense of proportion we
understand and accept the fact that in
the short space of one year we cannot
cure the chronic illness that beset us
Tor dozen years; nor restore the so
cial and economic order with equal
and simultaneous success in every part
OF the Nation and in every walk of
life" wan u
