read in a newspaper was to be
received with all the honors GUS
tomarily rendered to a foreign
ruler. Your Excellency, I am
grateful for the honors; but
something within me rebelled at
that word foreign I say this
because when I have been in
Canada, I have never heard q
Canadian refer to an American
as a foreigner He is Just an
American. And, in the same way,
in the United States, Canadians
are not foreigners, they are Ca
nadianS.
That simple little distinction
illustrates to me better than any
thing else the relationship be-
tween our two countries.
Minimize Importance
On both sides Of the lines we
are so accustomed to an unde-
Tended boundary three thousand
miles long that we are inclined
perhaps to minimize its vast i'm
portance, not only to our own
continuing relations but also to
the example which it sets to the
other nations Of the world.
Canadians and Americans visit
each other each year by the
hundreds of thousandS-but, more
important, they visit each other
without the use Of passports.
And, within recent months, an
other significant action speaks
louder than words, for the trade
agreement which I had the priv.
lege Of signing with your prime
minister last autumn is tangible
evidence of the desire Of the people
Of both countries to practice what
they preach when they speak OF
the good neighbor.
In the solution of the grave
problems which face the world
today frank dealing, cooperation
and a spirit Of give and take be-
tween nations is more important
than ever before. .
Share Democracy
In the United States and
Canada. indeed, all parts Of the
British Empire share democratic
form of government which comes
to us from common sources. We
have adapted those institutions to
our own needs and our own special
conditions, but fundamentally
they are the same.
The natural sympathy and I'm.
Outstanding that exists between
us was, I feel, demonstrated in the
universal feeling of grief when the
news of the death Of the late King
George was received in the United
The Washington times., 1936-07-31

States. We felt not only that the
head of a friendly nation had been
removed but that a friend whose
voice had penetrated into almost
every home in the United States
had been taken from us-a great
king and a great gentleman.
1t also has been my privilege
to know His Majesty, King Ed
ward, and we look forward to
the day when, finding it possible
to come again to the Dominion,
he may also visit with his neigh
borS in the United States.
Speaks in French
(Here the President responded
in French to Monsieur lie Pre-
mier, Ministre de Quebec, Mon
sieur lie Marie.")
Translated it read:
The words of kindness which
you have addressed to me in the
name of your great province and
of your beautiful city and which
you address through me to the
people Of the United States touch
me deeply, and I beg you to be
lieve that I am deeply sensible Of
the warmth Of your welcome.
What scenes of valor and hero
ism this name Of Quebec stirs in
us; what illustriouS names are as
ISOLATED with this noble work.
It is to pay homage to those
heroes that thousands of my com
patriots come every year to Que
bee. Here they prolong their stay
lured by the great beauty Of this
site, by the soft charm of your
countryside and by the hospitable
greeting of your inhabitants. This
Canadian hospitality, so simple
and so open, has become a tradi
ton in my country.
It Is by these exchanges OF
visits, by these continuous contacts
between Canadians and Americans
that we shall come to tighten the
close bonds which already unite
our two peoples.
Gives Him invitation
Turning to the Canadian prime
minister, he said:
Mr.. Mackenzie King, you already

hope much that you will come
and visit me again.
Your Excellency, we are looking
forward, as you know, to a visit
from you and Her EXcellency tt
Mrs. Roosevelt and myself at the
White House as soon as it may be
convenient to you. May we speed
the day when the heads of the
Canadian and American nations
will see more of each other, not as
foreigners but as neighbors and
friends.

NEW YORK, July 81 Q.N.S).
Harry Richman, stage and screen
star, and Dick Merrill, ace pilot
for Eastern Air Lines, will under
take thrilling transatlantic air
plane flight within the next three
weeks.
Revealing details of the daring
projected flight for the first time,
Merrill today said the date for the
takeoff has been set for some time
between August 1920. He added:
1--WE are going to try to smash
all existing speed records for
transOceanic crossings and plan
to make the first round trip by
air, New York to London.
1--WE hope, with luck, to make
the crossing in around Is hours,
stop in London q day, then
make the return crossing"
The flight, starting at Roose-
welt Field, will be made in Rich
mans Vultee plane, a low-wing
monoplane powered with a single,
1,000-horsepower Wright cyclone
engine. Merrill will be pilot and
Richman will take the controls
part of the time as co-pilot. The
actor, for several years an en-
thusiaStic mateur pilot, is spend
ing $4,000 to finance the trip,
Merrill said.
To get the utmost speed, the
pair plan to tear through the
skies at an altitude of $4,000 feet.
They will use oxygen all the way
if weather conditions permit them
to travel at that height.
If their hope Of 15-hour cross
ing is realized they will have
achieved the feat of cutting the
existing record almost in two.
Merrill cannot repress a grin of
elation whenever he thinks of it.
Merrill said he would begin
leave Of absence from Eastern
Air Lines after making a final
flight to Miami Sunday.

QUEBEC, July 81. H.N.SJ.
The teri Of President RooSeuelts
speech here today tollotOS::
Your Excellency, Mr.. Prime
Minister. my friends, and neigh
bors of Canada:
From the moment I received the
hospitable invitation Of your gov
ernor general, have ben filled
with the most happy anticipation
of this all too brief visit. Canada
and its people have always had q
very real hold on my affections; I
am happy again to be able to as
sure you Of this fact in person and
to express my grateful apprecia-
ton of the warmth of your vel
come.
That I am not a stranger may
be illustrated by the fact that
since the age of two I have spent
the majority of my summers in
the Province of New Brunswick,
and by my most refreshing cruise
along the beautiful shores of the
maritime provinces where once
more I have found friendship, re-
Taxation and deep contentment.
Nor am I ignorant or unmindful
of the charms of other sections Of
this great dominion-Ontario and
that great empire which extends
west of it to the Pacific.
All Its Own
But to many of my countrymen,
and am no exception to this rule,
Quebec has a fascination all its
own. The Plains of Abraham an6
the cliffs which lead to them are
eternal memorials to brave French,
to brave British and to brave
American colonists who have fall
en- in battle, be it in victory or in
defeat. - ~ <
Yet there is a nobler monument:
For on these fields Of battle was
born the living miracle which we
are privileged to see today-twu
great racial stocks residing side by
side in peace and friendship, each
contributing its particular genius
in the molding OF a nation. This
is a monument worthy Of those
who gave their lives; this is an
example from which all thinking
mindful that Quebec was a pre-
|ponderantly French Canadian
province, switched to French and
replied to the greeting of Mayor
j. E. Gregoire, K. C. Translated
literally, he said, in part:

visits, by these continuous con-
facts between Canadians and
Americans, that we shall come

Speaks of FOrmalitieS
Mr.. Roosevelt, who reached
Quebec after a twoweek vacation
spent almost entirely in Canadian
waters or territory, took cognizance
of these high formalities. He said:
"While I was on my cruise, /
read in a newspaper that / was
to be received with all the
hOnOrS cuStOmarily rendered to

I am grateful for the hOnOrs,

say this because, when have
been in Canada, I have never
heard q Canadian refer to an
American as a foreigner. He is
Just an American. And, in the
same way, in the United States,
Canadians are not foreigners;
they are Canadians
"That simple little distinc-
ton illustrates to me better
than anything else the relation
ship between our two countries"
The President then called atten-
ton to 5000 miles of undefended

somewhat more pointed regulations designed to remove the speculative feature from such investments has been well received. i
 Today, as a result of the various measures taken by the present ad- ministration, in the application, of which the bankers themselves gave their whole-hearted cooperation. the banking structure is safer than at any other time in its history.
 Confidence in banks has been restored and bank failures are al- most 8 thing of the past. More than II months have passed with out a national bank failure and comparatively few state banks have failed. Deposits in banks have risen from $3S000, 900, 900 in 1892 to more than $57,000, 100000 in 1886 and to a great extent the banks of the nation are again prosperous I repeat that the banking struc- ture is safer now than at any other time in its history, and depositors have every reason to be confident as to the safety of their deposits.
 It is a striking reversal of feeling to that which existed over the coun- try three short years ago.

John B. Thoms. The arch-foe of legislators who hold appointive or executive jobs under the state government has been renominat- ed. State Representative Edwin 70. Smith of Mansfield has been renominated by the republicans of his town. He defeated his op- ponent, Mrs. Annie Vinton, 255 to 186. He claims that no member of the legislature should hold a paying public job and plans to in- troduce 8 bill wiping out this sit- uation in the 1897 legislature. The regular machine frowned on him but he landed the nomination once more at the open caucus.
 The VintOns of Mansfield fared badly this week in the republican caucuses. There was 8 four-cOr- nered contest for the nomination as judge of probate. Herbert Gil- lette defeated Horace J. Yinton for the nomination, 174 to 131. The two other candidates, Stanley J. Storrs and Howard Reynolds withdrew after two ballots had been taken. The judge of probate office has been in the Storrs fam lily about a half-century, having been held for the past 30 years, alone, by Judge Lewellyn Storrs who retired in favor of his grand- son, Stanley J. Storrs. The lat- ter did not run for renOmination, left the battle wide open and saw the candidate, Vinton, go down to defeat.
 Asa Mitchell of Woodbury is once more candidate for the house of representatives. Repre- sentative Mitchell has served sev- eral terms in the house and has lauded the city of Waterbury's financial reconstruction plan as pushed ahead by Mayor Frank Hayes and Controller Daniel J. Leary. Representative Mitchell is chairman of the important f. nance committee of the legisla- ttire which studies local financial conditions before approving bills allowing. issuance of new bond issues. .5..
 The republicans of the 7th dis trict have nominated Charles A. Huntington of Windsor for the seat in the upper house of the legislature. He has served twice in the house of representatives. .. The Bristol republicans have nominated Councilman Rebell0 Carpenter and Town Chairman Frederick w. Beach for the house. The g.o.p. nominees for the house from Pennington are AttOr- ney William Hopin, IT,, and Rob- ert E. Parsons. MiddletOwn republicans have nominated Hem ry Bacon and Joseph A. AdOrnO for the house. The former on January 4th completes his two year term as town and city clerk of MiddletOwn.

 TO SPEAK HERE
Professor Secured to Ad- dress Mattatuck HistO-
 rical Society

The first fall meeting of the Mat tatuck Historical society on Wednes- day evening, october IA, at S:15 p. m., will be one of unusual interest.
 An address entitled "Peddler's Progress" will be delivered by Pro- lessor Odell Shepard. Members of the society and other Waterbur- ians will be particularly interested in the subject because it deals with the career of Bronson Alcott as a Yankee peddler. Alcott, who was the father of Louisa Alcott, author of Little Women," was considered more or less of hare brained in dividual when he lived, but it has since been proven he was an iex- ceptionally far-seeing man
 Odell Shepard is one of the few persons who have waded through the fifty-six volumes of Alcott's private journal and is well able to deliver an excellent talk on the man and his work. Alcott was a peddler, first of tinware and then of ideas.

i: Political Gossip :-:

There is a distinct difference between the ages of the candidates for governor on the tickets of two major parties in Connecticut. Governor Wilbur L. Cross, the democratic incumbent, is over 70 years of age and admits 1t. States Attorney Arthur M. Brown of Jewett City, his g.o.p. opponent, observed his 59th birthday during the past week. A
 Democrats point out that age means nothing as far as handling the affairs of the state is c0n- cerned. While Cross may be over 70 years of age, they point out, he has accomplished much more than many men his junior who have held the post of chief execu- tive of Connecticut in many years gone by.
 State Attorney Brown observed his birthday this week by lolling quietly in his chair in his office in Norwich. The republican standard bearer has a busy schedule ahead of him. Ralizing that the fight to oust Governor Cross is a serious one the g.o.p. campaign managers have handed him g heavy speaking program.
