Appeal

New York Aug. 27.- A NEW principle "for home and

community that no individual and no family is entitled to do hurt their things which will neighbours" was enunciated by Pres. Roosevelt in a speech at Vassar College. Poughkeepsie, in the course of which he halled the success of the national recovery programme.

He asserted the downhill drift had definitely turned to become an upward surge.

He said the extension of the idea of not hurting a neighbour must be recognised as no infringement on personal liberty, because it is no more a restriction to tell à man he must pay adequate wages than to say he cannot hire child labour or maintain a nuisance.“

In a national serise neighbours are people of the United States. As a whole we cannot give special consideration to the people of the north the results are no good to the people of the south and west. We cannot single out one industry at the expense of others.

He appealed for the application of the principle of good neighbour to the problems of "local Govern- ment also.-Reuter,
