Text of Presidents Address to Western Hemisphere Republics

ence they wanted to become citi-
zens of America, not an Aglo-
Saxon America, nor an italian,
nor a German, nor a Spanish,
nor a Portuguese, but just citi-
zens of an independent nation
Of America.
Here we do not have any dual
citizenship. Here the descend
ants Of the very same races,
who had always been forced to
fear or hate each other in lands
across the ocean, have learned to
live in peace and in friendship.
No one group or race in the
New World has any desire to sub
jugate the others. No one ma
tion in this hemisphere has any
desire to dominate the others.
In the Western Hemisphere no
nation is considered a second
class nation.
Must Guard Against
Attempts to Divide Us.
We know that attempts have
been made, we know that they
will continue to be made, to
divide these groups within a ma
ton, and to divide these nations
among themselves.
There are those in the Old
World who persist In believing
that here in this new hemi-
sphere the Americas can be torn
by the hatred and fears which
have drenched the le-grounds
of Europe for so many centuries.
Americans as individuals, Amer
lean republics as nations, re-
main on guard against those who
seek to break up our unity by
preaching ancient race hatreds,
by working on old fears, or by
holding out glittering promises
which they know to be false.
Divide and conquer" has been
the battle cry of the totalitarian
powers in their war against the
democracies. 1t has succeeded
on the continent of Europe. On
our continents it will fail.
We are determined to use our
energies and our resources to
counteract and repel the foreign
plots and propaganda-the whole
technique of underground war
fare originating in Europe and
now clearly directed against all
the republics on this side of the
ocean.
Onward and Upward
Is Democracy's Command.
That propaganda repeats and
repeats that democracy is
decadent form of government.
They tell us that our old demo-
cratic ideal. our old traditions Of
civil liberties are things of the
past.
We reject this thought. We
say that we are the future. We
say that the direction in which
they would lead us is backward,
not forward-backward to the
bondage of the Pharaohs, back
ward to the slavery of the Mid
die Ages.
The command of the Demo-
cratic faith has been ever onward
and upward. Never have free
men been satisfied with the mere
maintenance of any status quo.

HOMESTEADING IN MONTANA

a farm in fee simple with 100 per cent
of the oil rights-everything the home
Steader received from the government
We sat down and figured out the cost of
fencing this homestead, the cost of the
homestead shack and Outbuildings, the
cost of team and pillow and other equip
ment for breaking the sod and the cost
Of living on the tract for three years
three years of hardship and privatiOn
that none of us would willingly endure.
We found to our surprise that the home
steader must have had a greater invest
ment in the tract on the day he proved
up (secured his patent) than we paid for
it, when we bought it from mortgage
investor.
When it was filed as a homestead,
back in 1918. there was no thought of
the possibility of oil. The hOmesteader,
merely wanted farm land and was i'm
spircd by the big wheat crop of 1916
and the war prices for wheat Unlike
WildschuItz and Catlett in Cat Creek,
who filed on their land in the belief
that it was oil land this north Mon
tana hOmesteader had no idea of oil.
Yet today when this land is well within
the indicated boundaries of proven oil
field we buy it for less than the cost
sans the hardships-of hOmesteading.
No, we do not believe that the great
est opportunities have passed by. Today
we buy an ''OiI farm with pretty good
assurance whether it is on an oil struc-
ture. We can be guided today by
face geology by well logs and by geo.
physics none of which were available
in northern Montana before 1919. Fur
thermOre, the man who owned an 'oil
farm in the pioneer days knew that
there was no market for the oil, even If
oil were found, because Montana had no
refineries. Cat Creek oil had to be ship
ped by train to Whiting Indiana, for
refining.
With the development of refineries
which are dependent upon Montana crude
the owner of Montana oil reserves today
has the greatest security the local in
dustry has known.
The pioneer investor had no adequate
yard stick to guide him. California in-
VestOrs came in with California oil land
values in mind and paid ten times too
much. Cat Creek investors likewise had
no safety in appraising north Montana
values by Cat Greek values. That in
creased the risk of the pioneer investors.
We now know that many of them paid
too much.
Add to that the great uncertainty of
every royalty and lease purchase, when
no two biologists could agree on the
shape or size of the North Montana struc-
lures and when a majority held that no
fIat-dip structure such as Kelvin could
possibly contain oil in commercial guam
titles. We now have a record of the
production OF S45, 900, 900 worth of oil
to prove that flat-dip structures CAN
contain oil in commercial quantities and
the history of the development and pro-
duction guides us to the knowledge of
the probable yield of an acre of oil land.

Are the opportunities greater or less
today than they were in pioneer times?
So many people are inclined to bark
back to the good old times that the
youth of today is sometimes led TO
believe that he was born 30 years too
late to get anywhere in this world.
Oddly enough. the lamentations fire.
auentIy come from those who failed to
take advantage of pioneer opportunities
rather than from those who took ad-
vantage of them. The right to take up
"a homestead carrying mineral rights was
one of the great opportunities afforded
to get really rich" These OppOrtuni-
ties come once in lifetime and 1t is
difficult to recognize them
The writer failed TO exercise his
homestead rights and thereby passed
up the chance to own an ''Oil farm" in
TOole county, (if the personal reference
can be excused.) When the writer pre-
pared to enter the air service at the
entrance of the United States into the
World War, a friend impOrtuned him to
file on a homestead, since the army
service time applied as residence time
on the homestead. The recommended
tract was out east of Kelvin, in a God
forsaken country of alkali flats and
after one look the writer decided to
save the filing fees, believing that such
homestead would be liability rather
than an asset.
Following the war, Gordon Campbell
brought i'm his discovery well north of
Kelvin and all of the open lands were
quickly covered by oil and gas pros
pecting permits. The writer subsequently
went out to look at the spurned "home-
stead" 1t was then known as the Moore
permit. That permit has produced $780,
1850 worth of oil.
Had the writer taken that homestead
and secured a patent to this land, with
all mineral rights, he would have re-
ceiVed 12M barrels out of every 100
barrels produced and that royalty would
have paid to date something like $685.
$500.
In 1919 the government withdrew min
eraI rights from homestead entry and
since that time, until 1898, the minerals
have been available to citizens under oil
and gas prospecting permits whereby
person who discovered oil ON government
owned lands was rewarded with all the
royalty save 5 per cent reserved by the
government. Now the government has
stepped in and taken the full 12h per
cent royalty, substituting leases for the
permit system.
There is no more chance for a home
steader like Richard hide, Cat Creek
homesteader whose royalties have earned
him some 100000. There is no longer
a chance for a duplication of the for
tune of Charles EmmOns whose IN %
royalty on a 4O-acre government permit
I'm Kevin-Sunburst has paid around $780,
600. Those big opportunities are for
ever past.
On the other hand, we recently bought

Ickes Says
He Is Tough

Secretary Ickes: Il read all oil

mean, of course, that l am infal-
lible. but l think the people of my
staff will tell you that / am a pretty
tough man in my penciling of things

Mr.. Leavy: "Has there been,
in the thousands of letters that
you have received from people with
reference to these broadcasts, any
criticism along the line that they
are political or partisan?"
Secretary Ickes; Il read the
scripts. but l do not read the let
ters."
The appropriations committee,
after this hearing, cut $6,64O from
Ickes' estimate for the radio sec
ton. The house then added the
rider that none of the funds should
be used for radio broadcasts de-
signed to influence passage or de-
feat of any pending legislation.
Hearings on the Cole bill having
ended, after 10 days of testimony,
a decision from the subcommittee
is expected in the near future.

Accordingly. the modern investor has
far better information to guide him.
II we will but look around, we will
discover that we are in the midst OF
far greater pioneer opportunities than
the state has heretofore known. The
Montana oil is on the threshold of deep
drilling. If the history of every other
important oil state can be taken as
criterion and Illinois is an outstanding
example, then the greatest production
may he expected from the horizons
BELOW the contact of the Madison lime.
Why Montana should be the exception
to the rule is not within the comprehen-
sion of anyone who knows that the De-
yOnian formation (below the Madison
lime) is producing both oil and gas in
Alberta, north of Montana, with only
mythical border line dividing the two
commemorative If there is oil in lower
horizons in Alberta, the identical hOri-
zOls in Montana should contain oil, also.
The only reason that there is no deep
production in Montana is the same rea-
SON that Illinois had no deep production
up to 1885: In fact it is On.y during
the last year that DevOnian production
has come into the fore in Illinois and 1t
is the DevOnian production that has shat
tered all the estimates of Illinois pOten-
tials.
Is it not apparent that the man who
buys royalty today, based on values
ABOVE the Madison lime, is sharing the
tremendous possibilities of future devel-
Opment of oil in the DevOnian and in
other lower formations?
Today we can buy royalties based on
KNOWN values where our investment is
far more secure than were investments or
hOmesteads of 20 or 25 years ago. Add
to that the far greater possibilities of
4g hal
the pioneer OPPORTUNITIES were moth
ing, by comparison. Against a fair i'm
vestment and attractive speculative
chances afforded today the pioneer OPP
pOrtunities were the rankest sort of
gambling
Every tract of land in Montana gives
SOMEONE 12h barrels of oil out of
every 100 produced, the 12k barrels
delivered free of cost of production. The
hOmesteader or his successors, the mort
gage company, the land specuIatOr or the
royalty investor, gets the IL " 20 share
from fee lands; the U. S. government
gets the 12k share government lands
and the state school fund gets the 121& %
share from the state lands. These roy
aIties have in the pioneer days paid $he
fortunate owners over $12 DOC, 900. These
and many new royalties will pay many
times that amount to the owners In the
wears to come. The people who will
make the greatest fortunes are those who
own the royalty rights before oil is found.
Those who use abOve-the-Iime yardsticks
to measure royalty values will be the ones
who profit most when deep sand pro-
duction comes.
ANY who desires to join us i'm the pur-
chase of "oiI farms and royalties may
obtain details regarding available pro-
perties by writing.
