TALK
ACCLAIMED

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Feb. "a
G.N.SD.-The special Telegraph
wire which links the White House
with Hyde Park was busy this
morning conveying congratulatory
messages to President Roosevelt
on his Sunday night broadcast
urging religious federation.
Messages from all parts of the
country indicated the President
had struck q popular note when
he declared that this is no time
to make capital out of religious
disagreement, however honest,
and that religion in wide areas
Of the earth is being confronted
with irreligion; our faiths are
being challenged"
Reaction To Address
Chief interest here centered on
the reaction to the Presidents
broadcast last night in connection
with the celebration of Brother
hood Day" by the national confer
ence Of Jews and Christians.
The President made no mention
Of religious difficulties in Ger
many, Russia and Mexico which
have been exciting a portion of
the American population in recent
months, but he made it very clear
that he considered a dangerous
world issue had arisen between
belief and unbelief."
Offering a way to pool our
spiritual resources" the President
called upon this organization to
form associations Of good neigh
bors" in every city, town and rural
community. He said:
Introduced to the radio audi
ence by former Vice President
Charles G. Dawes, who spoke from
Chicago, Roosevelt said Brother
hood Day must be observed by
people mot as ProtestantS or
Catholics or Jews. but as believ-
ing Americans.
Asks Mutual Respect
It Is part of "our American heri-
tage," the President reminded, to
respect honest differences of re-
ligious belief" among men. This
country, he said, was settled by
people who came here from all
parts Of the earth with varying be-
liefs, "yet each laid his own special
gift upon our national altar to en-.
rich our national life" and all have
gained "from the gift that each
has given"

LIBERIA AGAINST
ITALIAN INVASION

M0NROEIA, Liberia (ANP) =
Because be believes the Italian
Ethiopian conflict to be of special
significance 10 all small nations,
and particularly Liberia. President
Edwin Barclay in his message to
the legislature Friday stated that
he thought it imperative for Lib
eria, as member of the league,
to associate itself in outlawing
war.
"Oll the surface, it would APP
pear that the matters in dispute
between italy and Ethiopia could
have only academic interest for
Liberia" he asserted. "But a more
profound consideration of the inn
plications inherent in the facts
surrounding the dispute would con-
vince the most unthinking mind
that the situation is of the highest
significance to a state situated as
Liberia.
Should the League Of Nations
be unable to assert its moral in
fluence in the maintenance Of in
ternational decency, decorum and
security, then the smaller states IN
the world viii become in fact just
what they have always been, the
prey of iluperialistic states"
Good Terms With U. S.
President Barclay drew applause
when he spoke of the re-estabIish-
ment of cordial relations between
Liberia and the United States.
The appointment of Lester Walton
as Minister Plenipotentiary was
heralded as emphasizing the deep
interests which America has al
ways manifested in this country's
welfare and as evidence that all
causes of disagreement between
both governments have been re-
moved.
''The Republic of Liberia, the
only other independent state in
Africa besides Abyssinia not UNI

itiated its own program of reform

BORAH ASKED
TO EXPLAIN
TECHNICALITy

NEW YORK II K. N. Lleweilyn
member Of the faculty Of the law
school Of Colombia University and
Of the legal committees Of the A.
merican Civil Liberties Union and
the NAACP, has written Senator
William E. Borah concerning the
constitutionality Of the Costigan-
Wagner anti-lynching bill
Mr. Llewellyn's letter poses the
question as to whether the Sup
RENE Court ought not be allowed
to pass upon the constitutionaIity
Of measures when there is on both
sides in the legislating chamber a
question Of its ee-stitutionality.
The letter:
like many Of your fellow citi-
zens, I have followed your work
for dtcades with gratitude that We
have s0ss legislators.
There is, however, re point on
which I hope you viii find time to
enlighten me. It has to do with
a lawyer-legislator's responsibility
on points Of constitutionality
II assume. as Of course, that no
responsible legislator win deliber-
ately vote for measures which he
knows the courts will later throw
out. This I understand to be your
position, often made clear.
