 "AS I speak 3 great city on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean is in flames I wonder If we realize what is burning over there But 1t is much more than than that. A philosophy is in flames, 8 way of life is in peril .. And I wonder what stands between us and that calamity ex- cept a smooth radio voice offering us the gold brick of safety with out sacrifice. We are all just as much concerned with the Battle of Britain as MT. Roosevelt. But we must be mort concerned with the Battle of America. That bat tie comes first.
 T am here to declare that the fundamental issue of this cam paign is the preservation of demo- cracy itself. I know there are present who will say: Democracy
 is not an issue between two maj- or parties in the United States. MT. Roosevelt Is also a defender of democracy. He has said so many tines.' Yes, it is true. Frank Delano Roosevelt has stepped forth upon the stage of history in the ambitious role of defender of democracy it has provided him with magnificent opportun- ities to make speeches one of the biggest factors.
 Democracy is rooted in the peo- pie. The Chief Executive of democracy must, therefore, believe in the people and in the values that the people believe in".

would astonish you if you knew
the facts. Billie has been able to
attend elementary school, but fur
ther education for him seems i'm
possible. To attend high school, he
would need to travel fifteen miles,
pay for school supplies and his
board and room in town. 1t just
cannot be done.
In Pittsburgh lives Billie's re-
mote cousin, Jack Black. Jack S
father is not rich, not well-off at
all, but he is a skilled mechanic
and has never lacked work. Jack
is a bright boy; he is fortunate in
that he lives ia city well able
to support good schools. 1t may
pinch the family finances a bit.
but if Jack wishes, he will go to
high school and then continue his
education in an advanced techni-
cal institute.
Equality of opportunity is our
slogan. Today too many other in

ability and willingness to work, de-
eide how much chance a child will
have to get good schooling.

received by Keith G. WildeS, Ju-
neau representative of the company
I'm valuing our assets at the close
of the year, we have taken a reals
tic view of current conditions,
Mr.. Aiken said. All guaranteed
and preferred stocks, and all bonds
in default of either interest or prin-
cipal or considered t" be not amply
secured, are taken in the assets at
market values. Bonds deemed to be
eligible for amortization are taken
at their amortized values. If all
bonds had been taken at market
values, the company's assets, and
likewise its surplus, would have been
increased by $55 100000
Govt Bends Popular
The largest single item in the
assets, United States Government
gonds, direct or fully guaranteed, ac-
counted for over one-fourth OF the
total admitted assets and exceeded
$7OO 900 900. Commenting on the in
crease of almost $75.000,000 in this
item during the year, Mr.. Aiken
said, obligations of the United
States Government are still the
largest source of supply of new high
grade investments.
In the assets, cash on hand or in
bank amounted to s67 1927 900, an in
crease of more han $17,00O000 over
the previous year. Holdings OF pub
lie utility bonds, 1898, 100000, in
creased by about $28,000,000 Can

Railroad bonds, $267 100000, were
about $10,800,000 less than at the
close of 1888. Policy loans totaled
1926, 100000, a decrease of approx
mately $20,000,O00. The total of first
mortgages on real estate and real
estate owned was about the same
as at the close of 1898.
Company Liabilities
Discussing the companys liabili-
ties, Mr.. Aiken said, by far the
largest item is the sum of the in
surance and annuity reserves which
are calculated on the most conser-
vative basies used by American life
insurance companies"
Also in the liabilities is Volun-

first make some intelligent use
of the experience Of the World
War and the careful plans Of the
Army and Navy. To carry out
those experienced plans I would
appoint the most experienced
and the ablest men. Those ma
tional defense appointments
would be made irrespective OF
political considerations.
Many of the men I would ap-
point are already in Washing
ton. But I would enable these
men to become effective by giving
them full authority-and If they
did not get results, they would
go.
The authority of these men,
however, would be temporary au-
thority. There would be no dan
ger of permanently sacrificing
any of the peoples rightful
powers. At the conclusion of the
emergency the temporary boards
would be liquidated and their
powers would automatically re-
turn to the people. AS President
of the United States, I would
not seek power. I would con-
slider it my duty to protect the
peoples power, and to return to
them any temporary powers that
they might grant me for the pur-
pose of defending them. The
problem of American defense is
a twofold problem. 1t is a prob
lem of coordination and a prob
lem of capacity.
Coordination will be achieved
