President Returns From H is W estern Tour RESIDENT ROOSEVELT re turned to Washington from his tour through six western states and, though he was rather tired, he ¿« jsssss hoped to run up to New London, Conn., for the Yale-Har v a r d b o a t race. ¡1 That depended on t h e congressional situation. He had to deal with the l a w m a k e r s who were all tangled up in the controversy over the tax bill, and also to com President plete his speech of Roosevelt acceptance to be delivered at Philadelphia on the twenty-seventh of June. The final speech of Mr. Roose velt's trip was delivered at Vin cennes, Ind., where he dedicated the handsome memorial to George Rog ers Clark. He paid eloquent tribute to that conqueror of the Northwest, and found occasion to appeal for support of his own program. Said he: “In his (Clark’s) day among the pioneers there were jumpers of land claims and those who sought to swindle their neighbors though they were poor in this world’s goods and lived in sparsely settled communi ties. Today among our teeming mil lions there still are those who by dishonorable means seek to obtain the possessions of their unwary neighbors. “Our modern civilization must constantly protect itself against moral defectives whose objectives are the same but whose methods are more subtle than their prototypes of a century and a half ago. We do not change our form of free gov ernment when we arm ourselves with new weapons against new de vices of crime and cupidity.” In a series of rhetorical ques tions the President defended the AAA subsidies to farmers, soil con servation, reforestation, and pres ervation of wild life. From Vincennes Mr. Roosevelt went to Hodgenville, Ky., for a brief visit to Lincoln's birthplace, and then his train carried him back to Washington. P Senator Norris Again W ill Support R oosevelt OUR years ago Senator George Norris of Nebraska, independent R e p u b lic a n , warmly supported Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Pres idency, and he now announces that he will again back the Democratic ticket He urges his countrymen “to forget partisanship and come to the support of the man who more than any other man in recent years has stood for the welfare of the com mon people." The senator said the Cleveland convention “nominated a man for President whose greatest asset is that nobody knows him and nobody knows what he stands for. It does not necessarily follow from this that the nominee Is not a good man. But it does mean that If he will not take orders from the undisclosed bosses who made him, then these eminent gentlemen have been de ceived.” F Russia to Become Only “Real Democracy” D USSIA proposes to establish *’hat its rulers assert will be the only real democracy In the world. A new constitution, to be promulgated next fall, has been drawn up under the direction of Josef Stalin, the dictator, and will be acted on by the all-union con gress of soviets on November 25. This document guarantees protec tion for private property, suffrage for all citizens more than eighteen years old. regardless of race. sex. dren in the matter of maximum hours, minimum wages and working conditions, provided It Is " ^ ble to do so under the Loustmt ns it now stands.

The communist party will be retained as the only recognized political organ ization. There are to be two legislative bodies, the council of the union, elected by the people, and the coun cil of nationalities, selected by the present indirect system. These two bodies will elect a board of 31 of ficials to run the government. The chairman of this board will be equiv alent to the president of a republic. The official press in Moscow says bourgeois democracy is a “dictator ship of capitalism,” whereas the Soviet democracy will grant the widest rights to all working people, the “old, exploiting classes" having Eastman Offers Program disappeared over there. of Railway Reform UST as his office was about to expire, Joseph B.
