He developed from his declara- ton the policy of particular i'm port to Latin-America. He said the countries were free to set up and n,aintain governments of their own ch0osing. He granted that events since the World War justified Latin-American suspicious of the motives of the United States but added:
 me as president that the time has come to supplement and to 1mple- ment the declaration of President wilson by the further declaration that the definite policy of the United States from now on IS one 0pposed to armed intervention.
 From this observation the prest- dent turned to a discussion Of the froader aspects of world problems, declaring that of late there has been a turning away from the Will sonian ideals.
 Referring to the Wilson influence 0n world peace, the president out lined the movement for creation or tha League of Nations and point edIv criticised the "so-called states. men who gathered in Paris to as- sernble a treaty of so-called peace in 1919".
 .;Political profit" he asserted, .'personal prestige, national az. grandizement attended the birth or tho League of Nations, and handi- capped it from it's infancy by seek ing their own profit and their own safety first.

RUIN VOICE
 OF CHILDREN

New York, Dec 29-(UP)- School children may be handi- capped for life through the singing of such songs as "The Star Spangled Banner" under inexpert instruction, Dr Leo Kallen, New York university, told the Ameri- can Society for Study of Disorders of Speech.
 Teachers unaware of the physi- cal capabilities of their pupils voices may cause a strain in the vocal organs which will hinder their future development, Dr Kal- len, an otolaryngologist, added.
 ''The Star Spangled Banner. for example, has a range which taxes even an accomplished adult voice. let alone the voice of a child," he said. He advised that children's voices be guarded against misuses and strain up to the period of ado- lescense. Such protection, he said, is "as important as fresh air, cor- rect diet, or immunization against disease"

GET OUT SKAIES
 THIS AFTERNOON
Ice Just Right for Sport at Hamilton and Fulton
 Parks

Get those skates dusted off and sharpened. you skating fansl
 The park department this noon announced the good news that there will be skating at Hamilton and Fulton parks beginning this afternoon. It will be restricted a bit, since all the heavy snowfall of a few days ago has not been com- pletely cleared up, but that will mean little to the thousands who've been waiting impatiently for the cold spell that wouldFmean enough ice for official skating.
 Of course there'll be cold feet, cold hands and cold faces but things like. that will mean little to the many who enjoy the great win- ter exercise. It's the city's first offi- cial skating of the year. and comes just before the end of 1893.
 So, you folks who are complain ing about the cold, just think how much fun and pleasure 1t brings to Waterbury's legions of skaters, old and young, big and small skilled and otherwise.

Maloney Silent On
 Delkesca1np's Charge
Declines to Comment on Allegation That Politics Inc
 fIuence Granting of cWA Jobs

indiscriminately if he chose to do
 Tn further supporting Mir Ma Ioney against what they term total ly unwarranted and unfair criti- cism, officials point out that the complete cooperation between MT Maloney and William M. Harris, CWA administrator, enabled this city to be the first one in the state to complete it's regular and it's in- creased quota of CWA jobs. While other cities in the state were still seeking projects and selecting ap. plicants, Waterbury had almost 2.0O0 men at work and receiving federal pay-checks.
 State board officials on their many visits to this city have ex- pressed complete satisfaction with the efficiency of the local branch of the national unemployment serv- ice. The filing index was com pleted and ready for inspection within few days after each requi- sition for CWA help. Day by day tabulations of registration ana placements have been kept by the office. and all applications are cas- fly accessible in special cross index.
 George Casey, former assistant city clerk who is working in the employment office as an assistant to Mir Maloney, denied today that he told Chris Delkescamp that we can't be bothered with you" as charged by MT Delkescanp. MT Casey declared that he did not sec the man at any time and that he certainly did not refuse him a chance to see Arthur J. Maloney. CWA employment director.
 The failure of MT Delkescamp to, gain an interview with MT Maioney is easy to explain, it was stated at the employment bureau this morn ing, since there are often 40 or 50 in line waiting to see the employ ment director. Mir Maloney has numerous office duties to perform himself and to superintend and finds it extremely difficult to allot more than two or three hours E. day for the interviewing of those wishing to see him. Naturally. tt was pointed out, some would Dc disappointed when the line of those waiting was at all large.

 statesmen were deeply moved by President Roosevelt's speech outlin- ing Americas foreign viewpoint. the United Press was advised off,
 cially today.
 "France agrees on every point, and is grateful for this evidence of
 a perfect communion of ideas," said Foreign Undersecretary Fran
 cois de Tessan after thorough study of the speech in consultation
 with Premier Camille Chautemrs
 and Foreign Minister Joseph Paul.
 Boncour. "M. Paul-Boncour was
 particularly moved and character
 ized the speech as magnificent" French government leaders were particularly pleased at the presi- dents statement that 90 per cent of the worlds people were satisfied
 with present national boundaries.
 They expressed pleasure also at his statement in favor of international control of armaments, which France makes an essential prelude to demobilization.
 Making an official statement in
 the name of the French govern
 ment I am pleased to report Frances happy reaction and full
 support of every point of the pres ident's speech" said dc Tessan. "Without adhering to the League of Nations, the United States now. by parallel action, supports the same doctrines of equality of na- tions, disarmament and armament control that French people have
 maintained.
 President Roosevelt and M. Paul-Boncour are in complete agreement. Nothing stands between American and French foreign poll icies, except that we are members of the League of Nations and the United States is not. But even then. the United States proves it is as at tached to the welfare of humanity
 as any member of the league" French Ambassador Andre Dela- lIboulaye will call at the state de- partment in Washington to convey to the president the congratulations of Foreign Minister Joseph Paul.

At this juncture MT Roosevelt declared:
 I've are not members and we do not contemplate membership. We are giving cooperation to the league in every matter which is not primarily political and in every matter which obviously represents the views and the good of the people of the world as distinguished from the views and good of politi- cal leaders, of privileged classes or of ifnperialistic aims"

CAN'T PLEASE THEM ALL

The Washington Daily News weeps because of its sad
discovery that the American labor movement "has failed
during the last few weeks to take advantage of its unique
opportunities under the Recovery law to organize I'M
IONS"
On the other hand, the editorial sleuth of the New
York Times sheds copious tears because organized labor
has taken such emphatic advantage of its organizing pos
sibilities as to embarass General Hugh S. Johnson, Re
covery Administrator. After referring to President
Roosevelts achievements in settling the coal strike and
in setting up a board of arbitration to adjust disputes
arising under the codes, the Times laments:
"But there remains the trouble which has been
caused General Johnson by the eagerness of certain
labor leaders to take advantage of the blanket code
and the several industrial codes in order to win for
themselves a share of the benefits, which may be or
may not be unfair, but which were certainly not with
in the intention of the Recovery Act"
Confronted with the positive declaration of the Wash
ington Daily News that organized labor has failed to take
advantage of the opportunities for organization given in
the National Recovery Act and the equally positive dec
leration of the New York Times that organized labor has
forgotten the equities of the situation and been altogether
too Jealous in mobilizing the workers in bona fide trade
unions, the American Federation of Labor is quite con-
WINGED of it's inability to win universal approval.
But one thing is certain. Wherever employers con-
tinue their unpatriotic hostility to legitimate trade I'M
ions, wherever they impose the notorious company union
on their employees, wherever they attempt to violate the
labor provisions of either the Presidents blanket agree
ment or the fair competition codes, wherever the work
ers are without the protecting fold of the trade union
movement, there the organizers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor and its affiliated national and information
