Denverites Cheer
Truman's Blasts
At Wall Street
DENVER, Sept. 21 UP) Preil
dent Truman pledged the contin
ued development of the nation's
water resource yesterday before
cheering Rocky Mountain voters
whom he rallied to a light
against "Republican under-cover
sabotage of the west."
He spoke to a crowd overflow
ing the State Capitol grounds.
Assistant State Highway Patrol
Chief James D. Cole estimated
that 15,000 persons, standing on
the sun-baked grounds, heard the
president's prediction that If the
Republicans tKe over tne gov
ernment, "they will try to turn
back the clock to the time when
the west was an economy colony
of Wall Street."
The speech followed a whistl
ing, cheering, handclapplng wel
' come to Denver from what police
chief John O'Donnell estimated
; were 50,000 persons lining down
town streets for the presidential
narade.
Mr. Truman told the western
era their hope for "new develop
ments of your agriculture, your
Industry and your commerce"
lies In Insuring the election of a
Democratic administration
"pledged to give you that aid
'and support."
In the second major address
of his current campaign swing
he said the Republicans in con
gress "consistently tried to cut
the grounds from under our con
servation program."
"There Is a hard fight ahead,'
Mr. Truman asserted.
Mr. Truman declared that "we
of the Democratic party are
eager for that fight."
"We are firmly determined to
leave after us a land that la bet
ter than we found It."
Party's Rscord Cited
While he laid special emphasis
on hydro-e 1 eet rl e power and
other water development projects
of the west, the president also
again attacked the Republicans
on housing and price control Is
sues. Of the west he said. Demo
cratic administrations In 16 years
"have built a firm foundation
tor a new and greater west."
"We restored grazing lands
forests e ' established a
sound conservation policy
built the federal system of hydro
electric and Irrigation protects"
and have led "the fight for de
cent housing, effective reduction
of the cost of living, and a rise
In living standards. That
is the Democratic record," he
said.
On the other hand, the presi
dent declared, during Republican
administrations from 1921 to 1933
"big business groups prevented
adequate conservation measures
from being put Into effect. They
wanted quick profits, the easy
The result, he said, was that
western forests, range lands and
farm land were stripped and left
barren "while the west contin-
ued to bow to Wall Street, furn
ishing raw materials at low
prices and buying back finished
goods at high prices."
Then, he said, came the Roose
velt administration under whlrh
"conservation was made a living
reality.'

You see those results In hleger

Palestine, he said, should become

given to the Jews under the par
tition plan.
All of Galilee should be "defin
ed as Jewish territory," he added.
The partition plan gave Western
Galilee to Arab Palestine but it
now is under control oi tne
Israeli Army.
While Bernadotte left the dis
position of Arab Palestine to the
Aran states, ne recommenaea
'in view of the historical connec
tion and common Interests of
Trans-Jordan and Palestine, there
would be compelling reasons for
merging' Arab Palestine and
neighboring Trans-Jordan.

cluding oil refineries and ter
minals, should be declared a iree
Dort.
The airport at Lydda should be
declared a free airport.
