manner by the president himself. <
It may be said that It is accepted as a
fact that President Roosevelt is willing
w bear the respohsihiliiy for his action.
If. is even said that he enjova the

free It quoted as having said that lie [
wants to "smash Harriman" for good
and all that be might be forever dis
posed of as a factor in the affairs of

severely crltizlsed President Roose

great prosperity which prevailed over
the country for the last decade and
which is now at its highest point is due
to the wise commercial plans that have
been made possible because of wise
governmental and legislative policies.
He said those policies should be adher
ed to.
