RooseveIt's Forum Speech
BIosts Dictotors and Attacks Idea
Democracy Is Decadent

The tert of President Roose-
Delt's speech yesterday on the
Ne,D York Herald-T Tribune Forum
tollo,Ds in full:
In closing this forum on the SUBJ
ject, Saving Democracy" can
think of no better text than the
final words of the speech which
Abraham Lincoln gave in Cooper
Institute in New York City on Feb
ruary q. 1860.
Lincoln was then speaking to an
audience to whom he was a Stran-
ger. Represented in the audience
SAID the New York Tribune of that
day, was the intellect and moral
culture" of the city. Lincoln warned
them against the fear-mongers and
the calamity howlers-the "appeas-
ers" of that troubled time, who
were numerous and influential. He
said:
Neither let us be Slandered from
our duty by false accusations
against us nor frightened from it
by menaces of destruction of the
Government, nor Of dungeons to
ourselves. Let us have faith that
right makes might. and in that
faith let us to end dare to do our
duty as we understand it."
We do we'll to repeat Lincoln's S
declaration of faith today. 1t gives
the right ansWer-the American an
swer-to the foreign propagandists
who seek to divide us with their
strategy of terror.
The repeaters of these ISLANDERS to
our democracy, whether conscious
disorganizers or unwilling dupes,
seem to believe that if they tell us
often enough that democracy is out
worn and that we are decadent, we
will begin to believe it ourselves, and
we will Immediately, obediently pro-
ceed to decay.
Strange Misconception.
They have strange misconcep-
ton of our national character.
They believe, for one thing, that
we Americans IIluSI Oc uyUIlu,
mongrel and undynamic' $50 we are
called by the enemies of democracy
because so many races have been
fused together in our national COM
munity.
They believe we have no common
tradition.
They believe that We are dis
united and defenseless because we
believe in free inquiry and free de-
bate-because we argue with each
other-because we engage in politi-
cal campaigns-because we recognize
the sacred right of the minority to
disagree with the majority, and to
express that disagreement even
loudly.
They believe that we are no match
for dictatorship in which
uniformity is compulsory, in which
each lives in terror of his neighbor

SEPARATION OF TOWNS IS URGED

Hartford, Conn, Nov. 16-UP)- Separation of Greenwich and Stam- ford into two state senatorial dis tricts was proposed today to the election laws commission as a means of providing for the extra repre- sentation in the upper branch of the legislature on the basis of the increased population under the 194O census.
 The General Assembly, during its 1941 session, must act on this re- districting. There now are 35 sen- ators and a maximum of 36 has been fixed by statute.
 Litchfield county representatives have objected to suggestions that the number of senators from that section be reduced from three to two under a general re-shuffiing plan. Prom New Haven there like wise has been oppositio nto cutting dow nthe number of senators there from four to three.

Lewis. HilIman Claimed to Have Settled Differences
 ih Session

Atlantic City, N. J. Nov l6.- (UP)-Congress of Industrial Or ganizations leaders believed today that a split in the congress had been averted,
 CIO President John L. Lewis and Vice-President Sidney Hillman, long at odds as leaders of opposing CIO factions, held a 90-minute confer ence unexpectedly last night and emerged from it -committal but smiling.
 Confidants of both believed they had ironed out some of their Gif- ferences, and predicted confidently that there would be unity in the CIO when it winds up it's conven- ton next week.
 Both are about to step down from CIO leadership-LeWis because of his pledge to resign because of Pres ident Roosevelt's reelection, and Hillman because he holds federal office, being a defense commissioner They have agreed upon Philip Mur- ray, tall taciturn leader of the steel workers organizing committee and vice-presidenJ of the United Mine Workers Union, as Lewis successor
 Until their significant meeting last night, there had been major differences between Lewis and Hill- man on political and economic questions. Hillman'S union, the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, decided to present to the CIO convention which begins Mon day, resolutions demanding that Communists, Nazis and Fascists be barred from paid CIO offices or jobs; calling for the immediate re- sumption of peace negotiations with the American Federation of Labor; proposing that the executive com mittee receive the power of veto up- cn the acts and appointments Of CIO presidents.
 Lewis was aware of these resolu- tions when he and Hillman met. It had been expected that would stir serious dissension because the la bor peace and president-restraining

GERMAN VESSEL
 IS SEA VICTIM
Attempt to Sneak Out of Mexican Port Failure;
 British Coup Claimed

Tampico, Mexico, Nov. l6-(UP)- Four German merchantmen trying to sneak to sea in defiance of the British blockade, met disaster of an unknown nature off the Mexican coast early today. One was burning fiercely near the mouth of the Pan- uco river. The others were fleeing back to Tampico.
 Reports spread that they had been intercepted by British warship lurking off the river mouth 10 miles from Tampico. Watchers on Tam pico's roofs saw the rays of power- tul searchlights crossing one another on the horizon. apparently a few miles beyond the blazing ship. There had been no sound of gunf1re and maritime authorities suggested that the burning ship may have been fired by her crew.
 The four freighters-the Orinoco 9,660 tons, the Rhein, 6,031 tons, the Idarwald, 5,033 tons, the Phrygia, A. 137 tons-all heavily loaded with food and other. cargo, put to seq between g o'clock and midnight last night.
 At 3 a. m. watchers saw the searchlight beams, then fire which mounted rapidly, revealing that it came from ship which appeared to be the Phrygia. An hour later two life boats were seen to enter the river mouth from the sea and head upstream toward Tampico. Later, two ships, the Rhein and Idarwald, raced in from the sea and entered the river mouth.
 The Orinoco, the last of the four to sail, apparently never got out of the river. She was near the mouth when the searchlight beams were seen. She reported that she had engine trouble" and the tug which had been eScorting her, was under stood to be towing her back to her original anchorage above Tampico.
 Tampico is on the Panuco river, 10 miles from the mouth.
 The four were among score of German ships which took sanctuary in Mexican harbors at the beginning of the war. Two of these, the crack passenger liner Columbus, of 32,58l tons, and the freighter Arauca left Vera Cruz in December, 1889, to run the British blockade. A British cruiser overlook the Columbus and her crew burned and scuttled her Another British cruiser chased the Arauca into Port Everglades, Fla. where she still is. The freighter Weser sailed from west coast Mex ican port and was captured by a Canadian merchant cruiser.
 The ships began getting up steam yesterday afternoon and reports spread on the water front that they

SEWAGE PLANT IS CONSIDERED
Finance Board Considers Two Big Proposals for
 Budget

The Board of Finance in it's con- sideration of the city budget for 194l, is giving serious study to two important proposals, the erection of a municipal sewage disposal plant and revaluation of all city prop erty. The present outlook is that definite action on both projects will be delayed, since the cost of the two projects would be so great that it would require a big increase in the tax rate rather than the reduction which the board plans.
 It is expected that the finance board will recommend that a survey of the need and cost of a sewage disposal plant be made during 194l Also expected is a recommendation that the Board of Tax Commission CTS, in addition to its regular duties, begin complete revision of tax as- sessments next year.
 Money for the sewage disposal plant would be made available if the city should go through with the proposed refunding bond issue. De- tails of this plan are now being worked out by Controller Thomas Conlon and will be submitted to Mayor Vincent A. Scully and the Finance Board for approval, but probably not until after the first of the year.
 The State Water Commission has the power to force Waterbury to erect a sewage disposal plant to prevent further pollution of the Naugatuck River, but has withheld action for years to allow the city an opportunity to arrange financing of the same.
