"MOVE TOWARD " LEMKE PLEDGE
Priest Predicts Delegates Against Third Party Man Will Be Overwhelmed,
(Continued from Page One) Lemke vigorously debated on the floor.”
The priest said that “judging from the pictures” Cleveland’s welcome to President Roosevelt yesterday was “disgraceful.” He said few people turned out. “I doubt if 1000 people were at the station,” he said, “judging by the pictures, you understand. The
moment we stop honoring the office |
of President it will be a sad moment in our history. . We must honor the office, however much we disagree with the man. : “If I had known when Mr, Roosevelt was to pass our convention hall I would have advocated going out to see him.” The priest was reminded that Mr. Roosevelt's schedule had been printed prominently in all newspapers here. “But he didn’t keep to it,” he said softly, and smiling. “He was half an hour late.”
President’s Name Booed
Last month, Father Coughlin called President Roosevelt a liar from this platform and yesterday his own convention booed the President's name and participated in a booing parade in derision of Rep. John J. O'Connor (D., N.Y.), who opposed the Frazier-Lemke cur-rency-inflation bill and once threatened to kick Father Coughlin the length of Washington's: Pennsyl-vania-av.. Mr. ke, candidate of the new Union arty, will join Father Coughlin tomorrow in addressing the N. U. S. J. mass meeting in Cleveland Stadium, which will conclude the priest's three-day program preliminary to an unprecented mass movement into presidential. politics under leadership of a man in Catholic orders. Obscure in the background of today’s concluding session of the convention proper were to be the lean figure of Dr. Francis E. Townsend pension planner, and the girthy outline of the Rev. Gerald L. K Smith, self-styled leader of the remnants of Huey P. Long’s share-our-wealth- followers. :
Have Drawn Apart
The priest, the doctor and the Protestant divine have drawn-apart since the July day when the stood arm around shoulders at the Townsend convention in this hall and pledged joint warfare on President Roosevelt. Father Coughlin has expressed doubt that any real share-our-wealth membership exists behind the Rev. Mr, Smith's claims, and he says there is “no possibility” of his national union’s indorsing Dr. Townsend's economic specific, which is $200 a month for the old folks on the condition that they spend all and save nothing. But Dr. Townsend and the Rev. Mr. Smith may speak today. They have been invited and Father Coughlin said he would make good on the invitations if time permits ‘after the convention has adjourned late today. Awaiting convention action before nightfall are adoption of a constitution, election of N. U. S. J. officers and approval of resolutions. These latter are expected to denounce the Roosevelt Administration, assert the inadequacy of Gov. Alf M. Landon as a presidential candidate, and tie the N. U. 8. J. securely to the political future of . William Lemke, a hoarse-voiced freckled son of the western prairies who is troubling New Deal political strategists more than a little because it looks as though he would cut deeply into.Mr. Roosevelt's vote in some states.

Experiences Depicted
Excerpts from letters to members of his family, published in Ernest Lindley’s “Franklin D. Roosevelt,” depict his experiences. “Again I had to insist,” he wrote, “that I did not want to see any more back areas as planned by Capt. , and the general (Liggett) showed how we could go up to Fere-en-Tardenois, and, thence, if the shelling were not too heavy, a
*| few miles farther. (Later)—it is
indeed quite evident that We are on the battlefield. “To our sensitive naval noses the smell of dead horses is not only evident But very horrid. These Army people do not seem to notice it at all. There are a number of dead Boches in the field. “The casualties, though, were light on both sides at this point, as the enemy were dashing for the defensive line of the Vesle at top speed. We got back to Gen. Degoutte’s headquarters just before 9, and aft er washing off layers of dust, found him and his staff at an excellent dinner, Captain Annoyed
“Most of my staff have begun to realize what campaigning, or rather sightseeing, with the assistant secretary mi , and Capt. is still visibly annoyed because I upset his comfortable plans for an inspection of regions fought over a month ago.” A few days later, along the Verdun front, the assistant secretary was under fire again. He had some hair-raising experiences on the destroyer as it cruised about European waters. Once a shell fired from a gun on the destroyer, handled by a green youngster and not properly trained, passed’ a few feet from him. Another time he was nearly washed overboard in a heavy sea. On one occasion the destroyer was in the
marine. Once, at 4 a. m., an “alert” signal called the assistant secretary from his cabin to the bridge.

President Roosevelt Describes Horrors of War i in Peace Plea
sprinted for the bridge in pajamas and bare feet,” he wrote. “I realized my costume today and apologized to Poteet before descending, but he said it made an excellent distinctive uniform for flag officers as long as the Secretary of the Navy does not try to change it to old-fashioned nightgown and carpet slippers.” The assistant secretary conferred with numerous officials and military commanders in France, England and Italy about ‘strategical problems, and once practically caused an international incident. This was when, after outlining to ‘French newspaper men the anti-submarine work of the American Navy, he asked if there were any questions. The newspaper men were stunned. They were amazed when Mr. Roosevelt told them that American Cabinet officers had two press conferences a day. The next day he called upon Clemenceau. “Clemenceau,” he wrote, “got up. from. his desk and came at me crouched over, both hands extended, his fingers clawing the air like a tiger's. He accused me of nearly ‘causing the downfall of the French Cabinet and the loss of the war. The press, it seemed, had demanded interviews twice daily with every Cabinet’ member, Clemenceau himself.”
F. D. R. Betrays Concern Over World Conditions
By United Press CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y,, Aug. 15.— Through the foreign offices and the chancellories of the world, there rang today President Roosevelt’s forceful preaching against war and his pledge to isolate this country from: all war dangers. In a major ‘pronouncement - of American policy, the President told a crowd of several thousand ‘last night that he had been bitterly disillusioned in the hope that the whole world could be ‘led into the ways of peace. | “He betrayed his grave concern with world Ae “A goodly portion” of his every 24 hours, he said, was devoted to a study of foreign relations. He did not refer specifically to any country or to any situation, ‘but his listeners did not doubt that some of his fears were based upon the Spanish civil war, the Italo-Ethiopian war, and the Japanese conquest of - Manchuria. Believe in’ Democracy “We believe in democracy,” he cried out at the end, repeating what he had said before. “We ‘believe in freedom and we believe in peace, and so we offer to every nation of the world the handclasp of the good neighbor. Let those who wish our friendship look us in the eye and take our hand.” Some observers saw, significance in, four words appended to Mr. velt’s pledge that this country was ready to defend itself, These four words suggested the steel hand beneath the velvet glove of friendship. The words were a’ pledge to defend not the United States alone,
‘but to “defend our neighborhood.”
Four Neutrality Points Mr. Roosevelt made four specific points in a program to maintain American neutrality and peace in a world of war and threatening war. These points were: 1, Insistence that American business, industry, and agriculture forswear profits from foreign conflicts. 2. Cultivation of an active and Vightow public opinion in favor of
Pe eireatest official caution to might lead toward embroilment of
“| the United States in war.
4. Extension and development of the “good neighbor policy” in the Western Hemisphere, seeking to weld North and South America into an area, comprising half the world, in which peace always will reign.

Rome Says President’s
Talk Over-Theoretical By United Press ‘ ROME, Aug. 15—Authoritative opinion on President Roosevelt's speech today was that his pleas for peace were over-theoretical and did not take due consideration of a tense European situation—caused, it was held, not by fanaticism which the President denounced, but by moral, economic and ‘: other complex causes deriving from the Versailles treaty. Political quarters expressed deep appreciation of the President’s offer of friendship, which they said was the only possible way to build peace because it would eliminate suspicion, generally regarded as a major cause -of European as aside from basic problems.
