Text of Presidents Speech

ulation and extent OF territory, has
been unable to speak officially with
the United States or TO maintain
normal relations I believe sincerely
that the most impelling motive that
has lain behind the conversations
which were successfully concluded
yesterday between Russia and the
United states was the desire OF both
countries for peace and for the
strengthening OF the peaceful pur-
pose Of the civilized world.
Jefferson Letter Quoted.
cit will interest you to know that
in the year 1909 the President of the
United States, Thomas Jefferson,
wrote as follows to his Russian
friend, NJ. Dashkoff:
Russia and the United States
bring in character and practice es-
sentially pacific, common interest
in the rights Of peaceable nations
gives us common cause in their
maintenance
In this spirit OF Thomas Jeffer-
son, Mr.. Litvinoff and believe that
through the resumption of normal
relations the prospects Of peace over
all the world are greatly strength
ened.
Furthermore, / am confident that
In state like Georgia. which had
its roots in religious teachings and
was the first State in which n Sun
day school was established, there
must be satisfaction to know that
from now on any American sojourn-
ing among the great Russian people
will be free to worship God In his
own way.
1T is perhaps especially signifi-
cant that should speak OF the re-
sumption OF relations with Russia
in the city from which a century
ago the first transatlantic steam
ship set out on its voyage to the
old world.
Il am glad to be back on
Georgia soil. I am hurrying to
Warm Springs with special inter
est, for I shall see a splendid new
building, given to the cause of
helping crippled children by the
citizens of the State of Georgia.
And I am hurrying back to my
cottage there for the almost equally
important objective of seeing to it
that prize Georgia turkey is put
into the primeSt possible condition
for the Thanksgiving day feast.
"On this Thanksgiving I like to
think that many more fathers and
mothers and children will partake
Of turkey than for many years
past. What q splendid thing 1t
would be II in every community
throughout the land, in celebration
of this Thanksgiving-and here in
Georgia in celebration OF the bicen-
tennial of the founding of the
colony-every community would set
az its Thanksgiving day objective
the providing of a Thanksgiving
dinner for those who have not yet
been blessed by the returning pros
perity sufficiently to provide their
own.
Let me read to you in closing a
message delivered generation ago
by a great son of great Georgia
mother, Theodore Roosevelt:
Materially We must strive to Sc
cure broader economic opportunity
for all men. so that each shall have
a better chance to show the stuff of
which he Is made. Spiritually and
e,hically we must strive to bring
about clean living and right think
ing. We appreciate that the things
of the body are important. hut We
appreciate also that the things of
he soul are immeasurably more i'm
portant. The foundation stone of
national life is and ever must be the
high individual character of the in
dividual citizen"

Testimony in Case.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW ORLEANS, November 18.-In-
yestigation Of the election OF Senator
John H. Overton, Democrat, Of Louisi-
ana. will be continued for two more
weeks by the special Senate committee
ending the day before Thanksgiving.
Chairman Tom Connally, Democrat,
of Texas, said today the committee had
decided to close the investigation in
Louisiana after two more weeks as it
realized it would be in louisiana for
years il it hoped to hear the testimony
OF all persons wishing to testify"
Connally said next week would be de-
voted to testimony produced by the
committee investigators and by anti
Oyerton leaders The last week, he said.
would be allotted to Senator Oyerton for
rebuttal testimony.
In the opinion of Senator M M
Logan, Democrat. of Kentucky, examin-
ing member of the committee. there are
now no formal charges in the Senate
against Senator Overton, and unless
charges are filed by the people OF
Louisiana the testimony taken in New
Orleans last February and at this hear
ing may be thrown out.
The Kentucky Senator said this cir
cumStance came about because eX-Sen-
ator Edwin S. Broussard, who preferred
general charges Of fraud and corrup-
tion in the election of OvertOn as his
successor, had failed to properly pursue
the case in the Senate and pointed out
that BrouSsard did not file an election
contest Claiming that he was elected. -
This is only a preliminary hear
ing" remarked Senator Logan after the
day of evidence taking from string

lated their charges of irregularities at
the polls, contributions by State en-
ployes to the "Overton campaign fund
and the firing of State employees for
political reasons

ing" said the Kentuckian. I'VE have
never had a case like this before and
have no precedent to follow"

Text of C.. of C.. Resolution

TH HE text Of the resolution adopted
by the board of the United
States Chamber of Commerce
4 today urging the President to
announce return to the gold
standard follows:
Our consideration OF various aspects
of the economic and financial situation
leads us TO the conclusion that the ques-
ton of a sound national monetary policy
is paramount.
TT is of transcendant Importance be-
cause the monetary policy not only af-
fects all other financial issues but the
whole economic welfare of the Nation.
The chamber is committed by action
of its membership to support the main
tenance of the integrity of our cur
rency, the restoration and continuance
Of the gold standard, with fixed gold
value of the dollar properly deter
mined. the balancing OF public budgets
and the removal Of restrictions upon
foreign exchange.
Opposes Artificial Action.
"It is opposed to any policy of de-
liberately engendering price changes
through measures which are solely
monetary in character recognizing that
such measures are not conducive to
stability.
In efforts to stimulate and foster
improvement In the prices Of primary
commodities. of manufactured goods,
and of auxiliary services, 1t is opposed
to any action that creates distruSt in
the currency, as being incapable of pro-
ducing lasting improvement.
In advocating sound and adequate
currency as essential for q greater vol
ume and mobility Of credit, it main
tains that it Is necessary to provide
such basis for faith in credit and in
currency as will permit their healthy
employment in the normal processes OF
business enterprise.
We believe it should be emphasized
that the present fiscal policies have
developed widespread confusion and
diSquiet.
we strongly recommend that the
President of the United States make an
unmistakable declaration that Govern
ment securities will not be driven tO
lower levels by reason Of monetary &C
lions.
