 as to Peace of World

other that this hemisphere at least shall remain strong citadel where in civilization can flourish unim- | paired.
 The Dominion of Canada is part of the sisterhood of the British na- ton. I give to you assurance that the people of the United States will not stand idly by If Dominion of Canadian soil is threatened by any other empire" Prime Minister Welcomes Him
 MT. Roosevelt, travelling in a spec ial train from Washington, had crossed into Canada soil leaving Buff falo early today and was welcomed in the station of this Ontario Uni- versity town by Prime Minister Mo- Kenzie King, Lord Tweedsmuir, gov general, and other Canadian | dignitaries. He as tremendously es- corted to Queens University stadium where he was presented an honor ary degree of doctor of laws. After a luncheon with government and university officials, he will drive to the new International bridge through the Thousand Island, for another speech this afternoon.
 This morning at the university he used as his theme the premise that "civilization is not national-it is in- ternational." This truth, he said, is being challenged "in some parts of the world" The people of the Am- ericas, he continued, were "in a large sense" responsible for maintaining that tradition.
 Knew of Sorrow Wreckage
 We In the Americas know the sorrow of wreckage which may fol- low if the ability of men to under stand each other is rooted out from among the nations," he said.
 Many of us here today know from experience that of all the devastations of war none is more tragic than the destruction which 1t brings to the processes of mans minds. Truth is denied because emo- tion pushes it aside. Forebearance is succeeded by bitterness. In that at mosphere human thought cannot advance"
 The peoples of the United States and Canada are friends because we maintain our own rights with frankness, because we refuse to &C., cept the twists of secret diplomacy, because we settle our disputes by consultation and because we discuss our common problems in the spirit of the common good. We seek to be scrupulously fair and helpful not only in our relations with each other but each of us at home in our relations with our own people," MT Roosevelt said.
 One Process Cannot Change
 But there is one process" he con- tinued, which we certainly cannot change and probably ought not to change. This Is the feeling which ordinary men and women have about events which they can under | stand. We cannot prevent our peo- pie from having an option in regard l to Wanton brutality, in regard to u1democratic regimentation, in re- gard to misery inflicted on helpless peoples, or in regard to violations of accepted individual rights.
 That is what we mean when we | say that public opinion ultimately | governs policy. It Is right and just | that this should be the case"
 The International bridge crosses the Thousand Islands near the | source of the St. Lawrencve river. | In It's center the president will snip g. silk ribbon, opening It to travel and then deliver his address.
 At the conclusion of this talk MT. Roosevelt and his party will proceed to Clayton, N. Y, where he will board his special train for Hyde Park, ". Y, for 10-day stay at his home there.
 Just two weeks ago Mir Roosevelt spoke of his good neighbor" policy under the tropic sun Of Panama. While White House attaches declin- cd to speculate on the subject of MT. Roosevclt's remarks today 1t was believed that he would not only point to the efficacy of the good neighbor policy as concerns the United Stateg and Canada, but al- Jude to the absence of border arma- mcnts, an example to the rest of the rearming world.
 On his ride from Washington to Canada which began at 2:30 D. m. yesterday (EDT) the president work ed on the speeches and hoped to have them ready before he left the train at Kingston at 10 a. m. (EDT).
 During his 10 days at Hyde Park he will observe his regular routine, working on mall in the mornings and devoting the greater part of the afternoons to callers. It was be- lieved, however, that he would give cloge attention to the domestic po- litical situation, particularly in Maryland and New York, in view of his announcements calling for the defeat of Senator Willard Tydings of Maryland and Representative John O'Connor of New York, as "bptraupreb nf the neU Hpa1
