Text of Hoover Address
Rights of the Individual IN Relation to Government
Declared Threatened by Discussion
II Cos,etS,,fsox
of Constitution.


BY the Associated Press
SAN DIEGO, Calf, September II.
Following is the text Of former
President Herbert Hoover's Constitu-
ton day speech here today:
In the IL minutes which I occupy
in this discussion shall refer to but
one phase of the Constitution in its
many bearings upon national life
that is the bill Of rights.
Today the Constitution is indeed
under more vivid discussion than at
any time since the years before the
Civil War. The background of that
issue was Negro slavery, but IN tie
foreground was the constitutional
question Of States rights, and in the
final determination was the fate of the
Union. The aroused interest Of to-
day is again the rights of men. To-
day the issue is the rights of the
individual in relation to the Govern
ment; this too involves the fate of the
Nation. If for no other reason, this
discussion has been forced upon us
because new philosophers and new
theories of government have arisen
in the world which militantly deny
the validity of our principles.
Constitution Framework
OF American Liberties.
Our Constitution is not alone the
working plan of a great federation of
States under representative govern
ment. There is embedded in it also
the vital principles of the American
system of liberty That system is
based upon certain inalienable free
domS and projections which not even
the Government may infringe and
which We call the bill of rights.
1t does not require a lawyer tc
interpret those provisions. They are
as clear as the ten commandments.
Among others the freedom of wor-
ship, freedom of speech and of the
press. the right of peaceable assembly,
equality before the law. just trial for
crime, freedom from unreasonable
search, and security from being de-
prived of life, liberty, or property
without due process of law, are the
principles which distinguish our civili-
cation. Herein are the invisible SEN
tinels which guard the door of every
home from invasion of coercion, of
intimidation and fear. Herein is the

their freedom for false promises of
economic security" He branded as
false the idea that sacrifice of per-
sonal freedom can add to the eco
nomic efficiency, gain economic Sc
curity, find single job" or give
a single assurance in old age"
The truth Of this, he asserted, has
been tested by practical experience
under the American system"
Asserting that always groups of
audaciouS men in Government or out
will consolidate privilege against their
fellows" Mr.. Hoover termed the
bill of rights" portion OF the Con-
stitution the invisible sentinels which
guard the door of every home from
invasion of coercion, of intimidation
and fear Herein is the expression
of the spirit of men who would be
forever free"

EDITORIAL

A representative Of the New York
Times is now in st. Croix. Newspaper
men are particularly concerned abOIt the
Presidents rehabilitation plan. 1t it can
succeed in st. Croix, America will try it.
After serious representations to Wash
iEgton the President of the Virgin Is.
lands Company has been authorized. Oy
radio message TO pay the landowners for
the canes delivered by sQuatters on their
estates.
And no rents will be cole sted from
the Sion Farm and Peters Best Squat
er5.
The President of the COMPANY say. he
is working hard to make the operations
of the Company beneficial 10 the people
of St. Croix.
Of course. the benefits will be mea.
sured by the Company's policy in dealing
with the natives. Natives should have
the preference in every job provided
they can qualify. But when a position
is wanted for a continental military
training" is sometimes included IN the
cessary qualifications and as for a per.
suual history they beat tbs most rigid
insurance companies.
Another danger to be guarded against
is the Ownership of property on tax
free basis. The more property owned by
the Federal Government the smaller will
be the revenues from taxation.
The condition best suita bic for the
island, that will meet more with general
approval and tend towards permanent
prosperity and at the same time mini
nike labor disputes will be wider dis
tribution of the land.
MIR. Boyd Brown with a few compe-
tent assistants can conduct the processing
plants with profit. He should not have
to import an engineer. a chemist nor a
bookkeeper. We do not believe in =
government monopoly but. system
under which the land will be distributed

There ought 10 be some executive

matters may be referred for investiga-

questions will go far in establishing
peace. If the Federation is backing
Davis. Governor Pearson should not re-

writing contradictory letters to the con-

1t would be a good trick If Davis
would do the same as the Governor is
doing The Governor is pub ishing the

FOOD POISONING
BLAME FIXED
Federal Bureau Says Meat
Deteriorated While in
Shelters Hands.

The Federal Meat Inspection Bu-
reau today put the blame for the
food poisoning of $50 FERA workers

ers who sold them to the transient
shelter, and found them to be in
good condition in the factory.
DR.. Elicit said that the meats
that poisoned the men deteriorated
after they left the packers and be-
fore they we're eaten by the men.
This report comes before any Of
fetal statement has been issued by

lief and placed in direct charge OF
