'' ,;? .2 - 1 ' JESSIE WOODROW AVILSOX. COLONEL ASKS FOR POTENCY IN WAR China Mentioned as Nation Dismembered Because of Failing Powers. MORE SHIPS DEMANDED Progressive Conference Opens With Savy Day, at "Which, leader of Party Speaks Twice Clam - - bake Another Feature. NEWPORT, R. I.. July 2. The open ing day of the first anniversary re union of the Progressive party here today was called "Navy Day." There were thousands of visitors. An old fashioned Rhode Island clambake was one feature. Colonel Roosevelt made two speeches, and there was a drill of Navy apprentices at the naval sta tion. Other Progressive leaders also spoke. The Colonel's first speech dealt with the inadequacy of the Navy; his second had to do with the demand of the Progressive party platform for the reg ulation of corporations "to Insure their doing justice to their rivals, their cus tomers . and their employes." The Colonel In his first speech strongly criticised the members of Congress who opposed the two-battleships-a-year pro:, gramme, of whom he said: "There could be no worse type of public servant than those Congressmen who first do all they can to prevent the American people from being able to uphold their Interest ana nonor in the event of war, and then do all the3 can with, wanton and Ignorant folly to plunge us Into war." China's Example Cited. These men. said the Colonel, were not in any Instance the ones who would suffer and were seldom willing "to ex pose their persons in the event of there being an appeal to the arbiter between nations." The Colonel mentioned China as hav ing been dismembered "purely because she permitted herself to become Impo tent In war," and added: "To advocate universal arbitration treaties, the arbitration of questions of National interest and honor, is folly so great as fairly to be wicked. It Is even worse to advocate such treaties and at the same time stow no inten tion of keeping treaties already made that can be kept, and no Intention of submitting' to arbitration question that can properly be arbitrated." In his second speech, which dwelt on politics. Colonel Roosevelt spoke at some length of Woodrow Wilson's ref erence to the ."new . freedom.!' . . "The new freedom," he added, "is nothing whatever but' the fight of the strong to prey on' the weak; of the big men to crush the little men, and to shield their iniquity beneath the cry that they are exercising freedom."' ' Justice Demanded as Rlgbt. Dealing with the regulation of cor porations and combinations and using the West Virginia strike as the basis for his arguments for the adoption of progressive principles, Colonel Roose velt said: "What Is needed is the thorough rooting out of the conditions which brought about the dreadful state of affairs in the West Virginia bitum inous fields. In the district where the rioting has occurred the employing operators have endeavored to keep the miners in a state of practical serfage by the use of the company stores. This fact has been recognized and the prac tice forbidden in most civilized coun tries; In England, for Instance, legis lation was passed forbidding this prac tice more than 70 years ago. "Our proposal is . to put the Govern ment, acting for the general public, in such shape that it will not ask justice as a favor, but demand it as a right which It is ready and able to enforce."
