President Denounces War
in Chautauqua Speech
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT was at
1 his best as a radio orator when
he addressed the summer camp at
Chautauqua. N. Y., on foreign relations.
He expressed
his deep concern
about tendencies in
jj? other parts of the
' ?** f terly about the vio\
/ lation of bolh the
1. i letter and the spirit
V rr- *' of inter national
agreements "without
regard to the
^ simple principles of
? . . . J honor."
President ..0ur closest
Roosevelt neighbors are good
neighbors," the President said. "If
there are remoter nations that wish
us not good but ill, they know that
we arc strong; they know that we
can and will defend ouiself and defend
our neighborhood."
Mr. Roosevelt said he had seen
war on land and sea.
"I have seen blood running from
the wounded," he said. "I have
seen men coughing out their gassed
inmic T ?t,?

mud I have seen cities destroyed.
I have seen 200 limping, exhausted
men come out of line?the survivors
of a regiment of 1,000 who went
forward forty-eight hours before. I
have seen children starving. I have
seen the agonies of mothers and
wives. 1 hate war!"
Germans feit that Mr. Roosevelt's
speech was aimed them and resented
his criticism. A Mexico City
newspaper saw in it evidence that
the Monroe doctrine was to be revived.
The press of Buenos Aires !
warmly applauded the address, one I
journal saying: j
"Without the intention of making
a parallel between discourses re- '
cently heard from Rome or from
Berlin and which proclaimed violence
and expansion as the two
sole aims of the modern states, we
recommend reading this dignified [
and sincere Roosevelt speech, ennobled
by the spontaneity of human
content and with which Roosevelt
raised his figure above the
stature of all dictators."
Father Coughlin's Group
Indorses Lemke
pOLLOWING the recommendation

the National Union for Social Justice.
in convention in Cleveland in
dorsed the candidacy of Representatives
Lemke and O'Brien, heads
of the Union party ticket. But, lso
on the advice of the priest, the
Lemke platform was not indorsed.
The 25,000 members of the N. U.
S. J. present enthusiastically and
unanimously elected Father Coughlin
president of the organization.
Lemke and O'Brien both appeared
before the convention, delivered
speeches and were given a rousing
reception.
The final episode of the meeting
of the Coughlinites was sensational.
The militant priest was delivering
a dramatic address before a vast
throng in the Cleveland municipal
stadium when suddenly he faltered,
begged pardon and announced
weakly that he could not finish because
of illness. He was half carried
to a car that hurried him to
his hotel. There it was said his
indisposition, due to the heat and
overwork, was not serious.
San Sebastian Shelled,
Hostages Are Slain
"PVSPATCHES from the French
border said Spanish rebel warships
finally had begun the long
threatened bombardment of San
Sebastian and Irun, , ,
and that the loyalists
were carrying (WT ' 1
out the threatened *
execution of the :|j
1,900 Fascist hos- Bfpa
tages they were IS" a 11
holding there. The I
battleship Espana 4 ^n*lii 1
fired a lot of heavy : j
shells toward Fort
Guadalupe but for a Bt 4^ J/g
time at least was
apparently not tryir.g
to hit that Cabanellas
stronghold because many of their
sympathizers were held prisoners
in the fort. The Guadalupe garrison
was hesitant in returning the
fire for fear that shells would fall
on French territory. Already the
French government was angered
by the dropping of bombs on French
border towns, though it was disputed
whether they came from loyalist
or rebel planes.
L
The Cherokee So
The Fascists captured the important
town of Badajoz, near the Portuguese
border, at the point of the
bayonet, and were reported to have
executed 1,500 government adherents
taken there. The rebels also
reported a victory near Zaragoza
after a bloody battle. General
Franco met General Mola and
"President" Virgilio Cabanellas at
| the northern rebel headquarters in I
Burgos and planned for further advances
of their southern and northern
columns on Madrid. These will
be supplemented by 4.000 Moors
and foreign legion veterans marching
eastward from Badajoz.
United States Will Not
Interfere in Spain
tpFFORTS of European nations,
notably France, to persuade the
United Slates to join in a neutrality
pact concerning the civil war in
Spain are not likely
to succeed. However
it is the intention f
of our government
not to interfere in ^
the situation in any
way whatsoever. In- I
structions to this ef- & s a
feet were sent to gi
all American repre- 1 i
sentatives in Spain JM
by William Phillips, IH 4 ?||
acting secretary of
state. While assert- Wm- Ph,lliPs
ing that the American neutrality
law prohibiting assistance to warring
nations does not apply to the
Spanish civil war, Mr. Phillips said
that the United States intended to
conform with its "well established
policy of noninterference with internal
affairs in other countries, either
in time of peace or civil
strife."
Most of the nations invited to
participate in the non-intervention
agreement were willing, but Germany
temporarily blocked the plan
by announcing that its answer
would be delayed until Madrid gave
a satisfactory reply to German protests
regarding the execution of four
German nationals in Barcelona.
American Ambassador Bowers
abandoned his "floating embassy"
aboard the coast guard cutter
Cayuga and went ashore at St. Jean

Wheat Supply Adequate,
Says Federal Report
1 | 'HKUh, is enough wheat in the
* United States for the usual domestic
requirements ot the season
of 1936-37, according to the midsummer
report of the bureau of agricultural
economics, but the supply
of red spring wheat and durum is
short and conseauently importation
of those varieties will be continued.
The amount, however, will not be
large. Secretary Wallace stated.
"It is probable the spring wheat
mills in the 1936-'37 season will use
a larger percentage of hard red
winter and Pacific northwest wheat
than last year," said the report. "A
larger than usual quantity of soft
red winter wheat is also likelv to
be used in bread flour. As a result,
imports of milling wheat may
be less than in 1935/'
Wheat prices in the United States
may be expected to average about
as high relative to world price levels
as during the 1935-'36 season,
when the price of No. 2 hard winter
at Kansas City was 15 cents over
Liverpool, the bureau said. During
the last three years short crops to- j
gether with other influences result- |
ed in wheat prices in the United
States being maintained unusually 1
high relative to the world market
price.
"Farm prices probably have been
20 cents to 30 cents higher than I
might have been expected with
more nearly normal yields in the
United States," the report continued.
"A return of average or greater
than average yields in the United
States would result in an export surplus
and prices would adjust toward
an export basis.
"The acreage seeded for the 1936
crop, 74,000,000 acres, was the second
largest in history, and seedings
as large for the 1937 crop would
produce fully enough wheat for total
domestic utilization even if
yields should turn out to be onefourth
below average."

Riding With Their
Backs to the Horses
Some people are always looking
into the past. AH the worth ol
things is there. They are forever
talking about the good times that
once harpcr.ed.
There is ro romance in the worlc
now, no heroism. The winters and
summers are not as they used tc
be. Life is altogether on a small,
commonplace scale . . . Now thai
s a miserable sort of thing: 11
brings a kind of paralyzing chill
over the life, and petrifies the
natural spring of joy that should
be ever leaping up to meet the
fresh new mercies that the days
keep bringing. The fault is not in
the times, but in the people.

IN UNITED TRIBUTE TO REARADMIRAL
RICHARD EVELYN BYRD.
U. S. N. (Ret.), six hundred members
of American industrial and
scientific groups met at a dinner
on June 5th. They presented to
Admiral Byrd a gold medal inscribed
"American Industry's
Tribute."
On the reverse side, this medal
commemorates the silent courage
of an heroic leader who kept alone
"a six months vigil for meteorological
observation at the world's
southernmost outpost. Before the
middle of the long Antarctic night
he was stricken desperately ill
from the poisonous fumes of a
faulty oil stove. Survival seemed
impossible. He deliberately chose
to die rather than tap out an
S. O. S. on his radio. In fact, he
squandered his strength and lessened
his chance for survival by
painfully hand-cranking his radio

Not Quite Enough
for a Selling Order
Mrs Kaysun came dashing into
the room where Raysun was absorbed
in his evening paper.
"It's exactly 98 degrees on the
back porch," she announced.
"Um, huh," Mr. Raysun replied.
Ten minutes later Mrs. Raysun
popped in again. "Just think, darling,"
she cried, "it's how 101."
"OK with me," from Raysun.
"Henry Raysun," Mrs. Raysun
soon thereafter interrupted her
man as he was looking over the
stock quotations "just think, it's
now exactly 107!"
"When it gets." replied Mr.
Raysun dryly, "to 110, sell!"?

Early Biographers
With a few exceptions, such as
Xenophon's "Memoirs of Socrates,"
there was, until modern
times, no work of genuinely bio;
graphical interest. Beginning with
. the Seventeenth century a vast
number of such works was
, written.
; Among those of outstanding
t merit is Boswell's "Life of John
son," which has never been excelled
in mastery of portraiture.

For months of the bitterest average
cold ever endured, he hung

Byrd and his comrades adventured
