ROOSEVELT REPORTED HIS
. STEWARDSHIP FOR YOUTH

Importance In
Future Ideals
(By The Associated Press!
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 14 —Pres
ident Roosevelt told an audience
here late today that the most Stit
isfactory accomplishment of the
New Deal was the conservation
of the youth of America.
The civilian conservation corps,
he said, was the administration’s
first move toward economic and
social rehabilitation. The cost
has been great, he admitted, but
said there were non who could
deny its value in removing from
the highways and box cars, the
roving bands of youths, impover
ished by economic collapse and
disillusioned in spirit.
“Our fight—yours and mine, is
to keep our democracy safe by
keeping it moving forward,” he
said, in a ringing challenge at the
conclusion of his address.
In such a fight it is an unhap
py place to be on the sidelines. To
the young people of America I
say “join with us—ours is the
real struggle to continue and pre
serve democracy in America.
In giving an account of his
stewardship of American youth,
Mr. Roosevelt made an implied
attack on Governor Alf M. Lan
don for his economy program
toward the schools in Kansas.
“There was unfortunately for
a long time in the high places of
government in Washington school
of thought, that human waste was
the concern only of private char
ity and local communities,” he
said.
“We no longer believe that
human beings hit by flood, drou
ght, unemployment or any oth
er elemental disaster, be left to
themselves with the sole hope of
such charity as may be made loc
ally available to them. It may
not be enough to go around,” de
clared the President.

Counter Charge
Made by French
German Object.
(By The Associated Press)
PARIS, Oct. 14, Germany’s offi
cial protest that French Commun
ist leader had "insulted” Adolph
Hitler evoked counter charges
today from French leftists that
the Reich had "meddled” in
French internal affairs.
The communist party called
i Germany’s action an “intolerable
intrusion” and announced that it
would publish the full text of
the speech by the party’s secre
tary, General Maurice Thorez,
which German officials said con
tained the remark derogatory to
Hitler.
The Berman protest, delivered
orally by its Charge D’Affaires at
Paris, to a French foreign office
official, led to fears that Germany
might seize the alleged insult as
justification for not attending any
future Locarno conference.

was breaking through a starlit
sky, this morning, H R Ekins,
leader in the round the world
race between three New York

aboard the steamer Presiden

Had the Clipper been delayed
much longer by typhoons which
have postponed its departure twe

Ekins and reduced the race to c
neck and neck affair again.

LANDON CHARGED
ADMINISTRATION
KILLING AMERICA
Declared Concentration of Autocratic Power in Hands
Of Any One Person, First Step Toward The
End American Spirit Government
(By The Associated Press)
DETROIT, Oct. 14, — Governor Alf Landon told
a shivering outdoor throng here today that the New
Deal was taking the first steps toward destroying the
“rights and liberties of the people” that it represented,
and was a “threat” to American democracy.
Pledging himself if elected “to recommend the re
peal of all acts giving autocratic powers to an execu
tive,” the Republican nominee asserted that there was
a concentration of powers in the hands of President
Roosevelt “which Americans cannot ignore”, and which
he believed “to be unnecessary and unwise. It is the
first duty of a government to protect us from abuses
of concentrated power, whether that power be public
or private—protection against the abuse of private pow
er is vigilant insistence that free competition be pre
served. Protection against the abuse of public power
is vigilant insistence on the rights of our citizens un
der the constitution,” he declared.
At another point Landon said “The need of this
country is not government that atempts to direct or
manage our lives; the need is a government that will
protect our rights and foster American initiative, en
ergy and frugality.”_
A^ree to Extend

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14, —
The Maritime unions last night
conditionally agreed to the extern
sion of the waterfront truce,, af
ter employers had announced
their acceptance, “without reser
vation.”
The unions, through their ne
gotiating committee, advised the
U. S. Maritime Commission they
were willing to extend the truce
from October 15th to October 26,
“if the commission can assure
that the same will be fruitful.”
In unconditionally accepting
the extension of the truce prior
to union action, employers ad
vised the Maritime Commission,
they have now considered “your
commission is assuming full re
sponsibility for bringing about a
1 permanent solution, without the
1 interruption to commerce.”

Henry Ford Is
Is Openly For
Flection Landon
(By The Associated Press)
DETROIT, Oct. 14, — Henry
Ford formally declared his sup
port for Landon, saying “I admire
and believe in him, and hope he
is elected. I am not criticizing
the New Deal. I am only saying
we have had enough of it—we
have had about all the country
can stand”, said his statement.
“From the beginning, the New
Deal has been assisted by the
worst form of capitalism, in an
effort to destroy competition in
this country. That sort of cap
italism join communism at that
point, too, to destroy competi
tion. Anybody who expects some
thing for nothing, is all the bet
ter for being disappointed.
What disturbs me is that the
New Deal is now making to
workmen, the same imp ssible
promises it made to the business
man. I doubt if American mech
anics are going to regard fifteen
dollars a month, 25 years from
now, as very much social security.
Pretending to create security for
a selected class, in an insecure sy
stem, is a cruel joke, especially
when you take their money for
it,” said Ford.

LTNDOM, Gc!. It. — Moiseye
vich Kagan, Russian representa
tive, presented a second protest
note to Lord Plymouth, chairman
of the Spanish non-intervention
committee Tuesday.
The note asked that the com
mittee be reconvened at the ear
list possible date to consider ag
ain, Russian protests that Ger
many, Italy and Portugal aided
the Spanish fascists in direct vio
lation of the neutrality pact.
The new note which was not
circulated among members of the
committee authoritatively was
understood to present concrete
proposals designed to prevent
future violations of the agree
ment. “It was recalled that the
official communique issued after
. last week’s committee meeting on
the Russian charges said ‘in view
of the fact that no concrete pro
posals were before the committee
on the occasion, no action could
be taken on the statement made
by the Russian representative.’ "
