Here is the text of President Roose-
velt's address last night to a series
of business mems dinners:
When these dinners of business
men throughout the country were
first organized, I was asked to talk
specifically for the business men
of the Nation. But I said that it
was impossible to make a speech
for business men as members OF
a separate and distinct occupa-
ton from the rest of the people
in America. There cannot be one
type of speech for business men
and another type of speech for
industrial workers and for farmers.
We have no separate interests
in America. There is nothing to
say to one group that ought not
to be said to all groups. What
is good for one ought to be good
for all. We can make our ma
chinery of private enterprise work
only so long as it does not benefit
one group at the expense OF an
other.
No one in the United States
believes more firmly than I in
the system of private business,
private property and private profit.
No administration in the history
of our country has done more for
it. 1t was this administration which
dragged it back out of the pit
into which it had fallen in 1888.
Acted Quickly and
DrasticalIy to Save 1t.
If the administration had had
the slightest inclination to change
that system, all that it would have
had to do was to fold its hands
and wait-let the system continue
to default to itself and to the
public.
Instead We did what the previous
administration had declined to do
through all the years of the de-
pression-we acted quickly and
drastically to save it. 1t was be-
cause of our belief in private enter
prise that we acted-becauSe OF
our faith in the essential and
fundamental virtue of democracy
and our conviction that individual
initiative and private profit served
1t best.
You who read the business Sec
tionS of the newspapers. the finan-
cial and commercial reports know
what We did and what its re-
suits have been.
But as your profits return and
the values of your securities and
investments come back, do not
forget the lessons of the past.
Must Never Return
To Boom Era Philosophy.
We must hold constantly to the
resolve never again to become
committed to the philosophy of
the boom era, to individualism
run wild, to the false promise that
American business was great be-
cause it had built up financial
control of industrial production
and distribution in the hands of
few individuals and corporations
by the use of other peoples money;
that Government should be ever
ready to purr against the legs of
high finance, that the benefits of
the free competitive system should
trickle down by gravity from the
top to the bottom, and above all,
that Government had no right in
any way, to interfere with those
who were using the system of
private profit to the damage Of
the rest of American citizens.
Collapse of business was the
price we paid for not facing intelli-
gently the problems of private
enterprise in a modern world.
There were those who advised
Evening star., 1936-10-24

did not want us to take American
business out of their grip.
But we not only have freed Gov
ernment from their domination;
we are now freeing business also
from their domination.
Business Men Urged to Refrain
From Political Coercion.
We have loosened the grip of
monopoly by taking from monopo-
lists their chief tools-the devices
of high finance.
We are resolved to keep politics
out OF business. But at the same
time we ask that business refrain
from coercion in politics. Not only
wage earners but nearly all busi-
ness men resent the present at
tempts by few employers to
frighten their employees by misrep-
resentation. For example, a few
employers are spreading half
truths about the social security law,

TULSA. Okla, october 24.-Tht
text of Gov. ALT M. Landon's rear
platform address here yesterda.
follows:
During this campaign I have
made no effort to answer personal
attacks that have been made upon
me. But as citizen of Kansas
am incensed at the slurring attack
that has been made on my State
as an incident to this campaign.
In this city where so many former
| Kansans share my deep interest in
the good name of their native
State, I resent the deliberate falsi-
fication of the facts that has been
made about the educational system
Of Kansas. 1t would have been
bad enough had this campaign of
deceitful villification of Kansas
been made by political underlings.
When utterly untrue charges are
openly made by member of my
opponents immediate family, how
ever, as a Kansan my indignation
knows no bounds.
The malicious charge that has
been made in that 458 schools have
been closed in Kansas, depriving
8,557 boys and girls of common
school education. I state delib-
erately that any one who makes
that charge is guilty of peddling a
lie. Not a single boy or girl in
Kansas has been deprived of the
educational advantages that are
rightfully his.
Closing Was A Step
In Consolidating and Improving.
The truth is that the closing Of
these 458 schools represents a real
step forward in the improvement
of educational facilities in my
State. Such consolida ton of rural
schools has been advocated for
years by every educator in the
country. These closed schools were
rural schools. In most cases they
served less than 10 pupils each. In
several instances there was only
one student attending the school
house affected.
The people Of these country
school districts thought it poor
business to pay a teacher and
maintain a district for only few
pupils. They did the sensible
thing. They have furnished trans
portation for their children to
nearby schools, paid their tuition,
and thus provided better teaching
and better facilities for all con-
cerned.
1t has been charged with equal
untruth that Kansas has balanced
its budget at the expense Of the
teachers. The facts are that the

VETERAN ECONOMY
ASSA!LED BY REED
Ex-senator DenounCes as
'IInhuman" RooseveIt'S
Disability CurtaiIment.
BY JOHN Fl. CLINE,

CHARLESTOWN, w. Va, October
e4-President Roosevelt's attempt to
cancel the insurance policies of World
War veterans" was IAN act SO in
human that we can not credit to
sanity" former Senator James A.
Reed of Missouri charged, here last
night.
Speaking at mass meeting Of JEFF
Sersonian Democrats, the former
legislator also accused the President
openly of threatening to pack the
Supreme Court after the N. R. A.
decision.
Reed supported President Roosevelt
In 1892, but recently he has been
+ leading figure in the organization of
the Jeffersonian Democrats. His
speech last night was heard by a
crowd that filled every available seat
In the armory here.
Cites Economy Move.
Declaring the President, in an early
economy move, had accomplished
passage of bill cutting 154 854 veterans
from the disability rolls and cancelling
the soldiers insurance policies taken
out at the beginning of the war, Reed
added:
This cruel attempt at reputation
was arrested by the decision of the
Supreme Court. 1t was an act so in
human that we can not credit it to
sanity"
In discussing the Presidents atti-
tude after the N. r. A. decision, Reed
said:
Roosevelt Immediately attacked the
Supreme Court. He declared that the
Constitution belonged to the horse
and buggy age" He asserted in sub
stance and effect to Paul Block, edi-
tor of number of newspapers, that
he would pack the Supreme Court with
additional judges and secure an ap-
proval of his laws"
Invites Denial of Charges.
Then departing from his prepared
text, he added:
IT have made this charge five times
in public and there has been no denial
of it. I invite denial, for I am pre-
Apared to prove it. Deny it, Mr.. Roose-
Welt, if you dare.
"He also criticized the President for
devaluating the dollar, claiming that
Mr. Roosevelt in 1882 asked him to
reply to an address by Herbert Hoover
and assure the people that if he were
elected there would be no tampering
with the currency. Then" Reed
added, like a bolt from the sky came
the illegal proclamation commanding
all citizens to bring in every dollar of
gold they possessed under pain OF
being sent to the penitentiary.
"They laid down their gold and in
exchange got dollar bills which the
President knew he was going to i'm
mediately reduce to value of So cents
on the dollar by changing the content
of the gold dollar.
The transaction was the boldest
and most gigantic act of larceny per-
petrated since Adam was boy"
Concluding with an appeal to the
working man to oppose legislation
. fixing wages and working conditions,
Reed said: Always remember that
when you surrender to the Govern
ment the right to deal for you, you lose
your own natural right to deal for
yourself. You are free men, bargain
for yourselves-make your own ideals.
Do not submit to any Government
agency making your bargains for you.
If you do you will soon go back to
slavery"

Some, including many business
