CHALLENGE TO YOUTH GIVEN
 BY ROOSEVELT
President, in Saturday Night Talk, Urges New
 U. s. Structure
IDEA ADJUSTMENT
 TO FACTS NEEDED
Appeals to Younger Gen eration for Unity in
 Fight on Old Order

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-Presi- dent Roosevelt challenged the youth of the nation to unite and go for ward on the construction of new national structure in radio talk Saturday night addressed particu- lariy to the Young Demo c atic Clubs of America, assembled in convention at Milwaukee, Wis.
 In general, to the whole nation, the Chief Executive spoke his phil osophy of government and his ideas revising the old order.
 We must adjust our ideas to the facts of today he asserted in making one point. He concluded with these words, ITO American youth of all political parties sub- init a message of confidence to unite and challenge rules that are not necessarily sacred principles.
 Not Above Challenge
 "They are methods of the old order and are not, as some would have you believe, above the chal- lenge of youth. Let us carry on the good that the past has given us. The best of that good is the. spirit of America. It is the spirit of in- quiry, of readjustment or improve ment. and, above all, a spirit in which youth can find fulfillment of its ideals.
 Tt is for the new generation to participate in decisions known to give strength and spirit and con- tinuity to our government and to cur national life"
 The President referred in general outline to some undertakings of the New Deal.
 Criticism Recalled
 He rapped the Tories of the world recalling to some his re- cent assertion about going back to the horse and buggy days He, at one point, asserted that the rules that governed the re- lationship between employer and employee in the blacksmith's shop in the days of Washington cannot, of necessity, govern the relation ship between 50.00o employees of a great corporation and the infinitely complex and diffused ownership of the corporation"
 President Rooscvelt's horse and buggy" statement was mad@ sev- eral months ago after the Supreme Court had rejected his National Recovery Administration.

BLUNT WARNING
 TO RUSSIA BY
 UNITED STATES
Emphatic Protest Made to Recent Commun-
 ist Congress
RECOGNITION MAY
 SOON BE RESCINDED
Soviet Union Said to Have Flagrantly Violated
 Pledge Made

MOSCOW, Aug. 26.- Americas ambassador to Russia, William Q. Bullitt, Sunday delivered, on behalf of the United States Government an emphatic protest against ac-- tivities of the recently closed Con- gress Of the Communist Interna- tionale.
 In his blunt note to Vice Com missar Kristinsky, in active charge of foreign arrairs, Bullitt said these activities involved interference with the internal affairs of the United tates. He called them 'flagrant vio- lation' of the pledge made by Soviet Russia at the time she was recognized by America.
 The American Government. Am bassador Bullitt warned, "antici- pates most serious consequences" if the U. s. s. R. lis unwilling or un- able to take appropriate measures to prevent further acts" in disregard ing its pledge to prohibit activities in it's territory aimed at changng the political or social order of the United States
 The note deemed it unnecessary to cite specific statements by dele gates to the congress at which some speakers indicated that the eventual aim of the Communist Party in the United States was to establish Soviet Government.
 WASHINGTON, August 26-Blunt warning that American recognition of Russia might be withdrawn un- less the Soviet Government acts promptly to end Communist agita- ton here, was read by observers in the note delivered by Ambassador Bullitt at Moscow.
 Even those who had kept in close touch with the developing situation were surprised at the stern tone of the communication and what they considered an outright threat disguised thinly in diplomatic yer blaze.

aiding to restore employment, and decrease the need for relief.
 "3. The devaluation which has already taken place has shown and will show in still higher costs of living. It affect every wage and salary earner. Surely, a 60 per cent cost of living increase, al- ready now in prospect, should be enough without further increase beyond that level.
 A. One of the declared pur- poses of devaluation was to in ef- feet write down debts by increas- ing prices. Surely the debtors, who include most holders of common stock and equities in real property have secured enough if they get a Al per cent reduction. The cred itors who in the modern world in- clude every holder of 8 life insur- ance policy, of a savings bank de- posit, 6 veterans certificate, and every holder of a bond or mort . gage. deserve some consideration. It would be a boon to these if they were asured through immediate convertibility that they would not suffer any further. It would be a boon to our great endowed uni versailles and hospitals If they knew that this Is the end of their de- prival.
 "5. We can get in appearance a false prosperity out of imitation. There Is much imitation poison in the national blood through the combined effect of the devalbua- ton, expanded bank deposits through government borrOwin ps and the federal reserve credit poli- cles. The fever may grow at any time. There is no real recovery on imitation medicine. If the cur rency wele made convertible 1t would tend to check imitation, re- place relief with real employment and contribute materially to a gen. eral recovery"

HOOVER GOLD PLAN (CODyright 1885 by United PreSs)

I (Copyrigbt 1885 by United Press) New York, Feb 21.-(UP)-- The United States should immediately return to the gold standard, former President Herbert Hoover said in a statement to the United Press.
 Commenting on the supreme court decisions in the gold cases, MT Hoover saw an opportunity to restore confidence" in the dollar. He advocated a bullion gold stand ard whereby the present dollar would be equivalent to 59 cents of gold at the old value.
 This. he said, would be a "need- ed contribution" to real recovery"
 Mr Hoover's statement was tele- graphed to United Press head quarters in New York last night from Tucson, Ariz, where the only living ex-president paused, en route to his home at Palo Alto, Calf.
 His statement follows:---
 | 'I have now had opportunity to read the supreme court decision. Apparently all members of the court agreed that the government acted unconstitutionally fin repudia- ton of the covenant of its own bonds. A majority of the members concluded that the citizen has no remedy. That will have long moral consequence. But whatever the morals or right or wrong of the devaluation may be. the face of the American people must be forward.
 "Thc need and the opportunity now is to restore confidence in the dollar. All threat, actual or poten- tial, of further devaluation should now bemoved. To do this and to give a needed contribution to real recovery, the dollar should imme- diately be made convertible at the present 59 cent of gold, making 1t payable in gold bullion-the mod ern method of specie payment. There is no need to avit on foreign nations before we re-estab blish the | gold standard and restore confi- dence to our currency. They would be bound to follow some- time. They are far more afraid of our doing just this than they are of any American managed currency at which game they have us at a disadvantage.
 ] '"rhere are five compelling req sons for this action:--
 T. It would put more men to work out of the 100000 who still remain unemployed than any other single action. Unemployment rests today largely in the capital goods or construction industries. These industries are dependent largely upon long term capital. The people are hesitant to invest their savings and take long term risks because there is uncertainty in what value they will be repaid.
 "2. The governments program of stimulating the capital goods and giving employment through public works can never result in % per cent of the jobs which can be provided by recovery of normal private capital good activities. The otherwise inevitable budget deficits imply either impoverishing taxa tioAs or more devaluation or infia- ton. A Convertible gold currency now would help avoid all these by

cussions of MT Hoover's direct in. vasion of politics after almost "A | months silence in California. Ills articles in the Saturday EventnR Post were critical of prevailing policies, but lacked the fortnight challenge of his unexpected pro- posal that the United States adopt a gold bullion standard of currency. Republican statesmen generally were cautious in their comment. Former Secretary of Treasury Og- den L.. Mills, reached at his Cali | fornia home, listed to the Hoover statement and said:
 "That Is very interesting. But I really can't comment at the pres- ent time"
 Norris Can't Go Back Senator George W. Norris, r, Neb. who bolted Mir Hoover in 1882 and who represents the republican point of view most removed from that of Mills. said:
 "I had enough experience with maintaining the gold standard when MT Hoover brought on un- employment by maintaining 1t. l would not care to go back to a similar experiment"
 Mir Hoover.s statement is be- lieved, however, to reflect the views of important segments of the business world. Through the United States Chamber of Com- merce and other channels there have been repeated demands that the dollar be stabilized as first step to restoration of confidence and resumption of normal private business operations.
 More important than any possi- ble effect upon business sentiment are the possibilities of the Hoover statement., on republican congress sional mfnorities. Republicans in house and senate have been handi- capped by disagreement on policies and lack of a program which could be posed constantly to the plans offered by the New Deal.
 Hoover Suggestion
 Mr Hoover in his capacity as party leader now has made a con- crete suggestion for:
 1. Unemployment.
 2. Revival of the capital goods industries.
 3. Control of living costs.
 4. Protection of the invested funds of endowed public institu- tions such as hospitals and univer- sites.
 5. Avoidance of imitation.
 The foregoing represent the most difficult of recovery problems. MT Hoover's prescription will be studied with interest.
