BEDFORD, Or., May 11. (Special.) Declaring President Wilson had done a.U in foreign relations that a man of his stamp of mind could do, but that unfortunately for the American people he could only deal with a foreign crisis by writing an essay upon it. Sen ator A. B. Cummins, candidate for Re publican nomination for President of the United States, delivered an ad dress before 2000 people at the nata- torium tonight on the general political conditions confronting the country at the present time. "I am for preparedness." . said the Senator, "but not only for war but for peace. I want a Navy and Army that can make it humanly impossible for a foreign foe to step upon our shores, but I also want to see those social and economic betterments which are neces sary before we can have that deep and abiding love for our country which would make any preparedness pro gramme effective. "We must not only be materially prepared, we must be spiritually pre pared. Above all, we can have no ma terial preparedness until we provide a revenue to meet the expenses of such a movement. The tariff bill of 1913 .was so futile and haphazard that it neither protects American industry nor provides a revenue. "The Democratic party, in other words, has failed to redeem its prom ises or justify its existence. We must return to a tariff that will protect those industries which need protection, provide an adequate revenue and at the same time give no protection to any industry which does not deserve it, because of the fundamental eco nomic differences between this country and its foreign competitors."
