ROOSEVELT'S POLICY
APPEAL FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT VINCENNES (Indiana), June 14. President Roosevelt addressed a plea for public support for the Administration's econciviic and social programme at a gathering of 30,000 at the unveiling of a memorial to George Rogers Clark, revolutionary hero today. The President's speech, the third major one in a tour extending from Texas to Washington which ends tomorrow, resembled more of a sermon on morality than a political exposition. "Our modern civilisation must constantly protect itself against moral defectives whose objectives are the same but whose methods are more subtle than those of their prototypes 150 years ago," he said. "We do not change from free government when we aim new weapons against new' devices of crime and cupidity."
