i MAY 8, 1980 Colby Sketches Wilso Fight Against 111 Hea St. Louis, Mo.? A picture of I ident Wilson cornering the phy: ill health and directing: governi tal policies with nnimanirpd m? laiity until he retired from o! " 3.s sketched tonight by Brainbr Colby, intimate friend and his secretary of state, in an addres the Missouri Historical Society's nyal dinner. Speaking on "the close of \V row Wilson's administration and final years.'* Mr. Colby credited ;ai President with supervising problems of demobilization, and itiating foreign policies with re) Hi Russia. Mexico, and the Leagu Nations mandates which have i oi lowed by succeeding at!mini; lions. As to Russia, he said the s later called ""Harding's policy." Hughes policy," ar.d "the Coo! Policy" was only a continuatioi the attitude enunciated by the -on administration. A note regarding occupying of northern hall' of the island of knlin byv the Japanese "foreshac d" the American position regar the Russian Soviet regime'. Mr. C said. This attitude was that the I ed States would look with disfj upon any attempt to despoil Rl of Its territory during revolution civil war. The speaker added % definite attitude regarding reee 1 Tion was refused, he said, bccaus "repealed denials and repudiation the principles and usages which v the foundation of international dc-i and comity," and "in no wise to disapproval of any particular litieal or economic system which 1 a might see fit to adopt." The policy, thus enunciated in final year of the Wilson admiius tion. has been variously relerre< in the years that followed as "Harding policy" and "the Huj policy" and "the Coolidge poli but not the slightest departure f it has taken place, and it stands day. intact, as America's attitude this far-reaching question." The signing of the Versailles t ty of peace, Mr. Colby said, "mai the crest of Woodrow Wilson's reer or at least, of his public ac mation and world influence." Ot fight for the ratification of treaty, which led to the breakd of his health he continued: "With blithe courage and unsw ir.g confidence he hent to the t 11... ?:?*l.. u ? Si iiv?? lit' waged nis sir handed battle for the ratifieatioi the treaty will be told by hist again and again. Others might fa but not he. Others might proffc compromise?not he. His notion: a signature may seem to a later a little restricted. He thought o rather simply. as something to honored. His idea of a pledge had a little angularity about it. regarded it as something to he deemed?even redeemed without crvatinns." He recalled a remark of the mor President, about a year a he had left the White House, on failure of the ratification. " 'The poison of untruth,' he j 'has gone so deep into the well! popular thinking, that it will be years, at least; before a rational ] lie opinion as to the true foui lions of our security and as to international duty .is restored.* " Depicting the manifold problem dt mobilizing the "vast war mach of the United States, Mr. Colby "the President never relinquished supervision and direction of t: measures'" "While he only partially recovi his physical energv. after his s tering illness, his mind showed abatement of its clarity and pent lion," said Mr. Colby, v Inter v: with him were shortened, if poss and more guardedly conceded. Ev one made an effort to come to point quickly, !<> save his time spare his strength.

The speaker's association with Wilson continued until 1923, year before bis death. "Thc death of Mr. Wilson was foreseen nor believed imminent i a brief period before he died," Colby continued. "He was not bnt the none too robust frame worn out under the unsparing mands of the ardent and heroic s which rC-hoiiaed The fir.al yea. hi? life. I think, were sweet to l.ove reigned in his home.

THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EV Business Leaders Are Thanked by President Washington. 1). /C.?Business leaders of the country received thanks of President Hoover last Thursday niKiil xer their co-operation with the government in stabilizing economic forces after the crash of six months ago. This undertaking was termed bv the Ghkf Executive as possib'v one of the greatest economic experiments of the nation's history, and one that has "succeeded to a remarkable degree." Addressing the annual gathering of the United States Chamber "of Commerce, the President said he was convinced the worst was passed and that "with continued * unity of effort we shall rapidly recover. There , is one certainty in the future of a people of the resources, intelligence and character of the people of the j Ifijited States?that is, prosperity." In the .succst'& so far attained by the stabilization measures Mr. Hoover foresaw abandonment of the belief that the* speculative rise and fall was a "disease which must run its course and for which nothing could done either in prevention, or to speed recovery, or to relieve the hardship which wreaks itself especially unon workers, farmers and smaller business people." "1 do not accept, ' he declared, "the fatalistic view that the discovery of the means to restrain speculation is beyond the genius of the American people." The President said thai he intends ?when the situation clears a little? to place the whole range ot the nation's experiences under the boom of the past several years and the ,.i 4-i.?.--i ??--- ?< - ?iuui|) n;?tu juiHMVtru uimei imtnuL.cxamination to evolve ways of achieving greater stabilization in the future "both in prevention ami in remedy." i "If such an exhaustive examination meets with general approval, I shall," he said, "move to organize a body?-representative of business, economies. labor, and agriculture?to undertake it. "1 do believe that our experience shows that we can produce helpful and wholesome effects in our economic system by voluntary co-operation through the great association representative of business, industry, labor and agriculture, both nationally and locally. "And it is my view that in this field of co-operative action outside of government lies the hope of intelligent information and wise planning. The government can .be helpful in emergency. It can be helpful to secure and spread information." The President warned, however, that arCt such action, "must adhere steadfastly to the very hones of our economic system, which are the framework of progress." "We are not yet entirely through the difficulties of our situation," he added. "We have need to maintain i every agency and every force that ! we have placed in motion until we are far along on the road to stable prosperity. "He would he a rash man who wo urn state that \V c can produce the economic ^jtenmrnr, out "there is great. assurance that. America is find ing herself upon the road to secure social satisfaction, with the preservation of private industry, initiative and a full opportunity for the development of the individual." Inquiring into the progress of recovery from the slump, the President said that confidence and courage have been maintained; that monetary panic and credit stringency have been avoided; interest rates have deceased since the crash and Capital has become steadily more abundant; investment markets have absorbed over ten billion of new securities since the crash and that there has been no significant bank or industrial failure. There have been no substantial reductions in wages, he added, and no strikes or lockouts connected with the situation. The acceleration of construction programs had been successful, Mr. Hoover continued, "beyond o u r At the same time, the President PASTIME THEA TRE "Place of Good Shows" Friday and Saturday, May 9-10 The Duncan Sisters with Lawrence Gray and Benny Rubin IN "IT'S A GREAT LIFE" Monday and Tuesday, Msy 12-13 "SUNNY SIDE UP" wit.y Janet Gaynor and Chas.
