seventysecond year of publication wednesday evening august 24th 1938 150 per annup in advance 1200 to usa u s win nol stand idly by il domination ol canada threatened c so said president roosevelt at the opening of the interna tional bridge at ivy lea ontario pleads for construc tion of st lawrence waterway to sea ss by spectator ottawa august brd mr roose velts visit to kingston and to the new thousand island bridge has been an event that stands out prom inently and happily in the public eye in itself the opening or the bridge at ivy lea ontario spanning in an eight mile stretch the picturesque thousand island section of the st lawrence is of great importance to the tourist trade but it is the bridge as a symbol and what was said at the cere during the presidents visit that have turned the eyes and thoughts of the world on the two pleasant summertide events of last thursday words spoken by mr roosevelt when he received the doctor of laws degree from the chancellor of queens university were received with applause by thousands gathered in the rich- wbdaan stadium at kingston and round a warm responsive echo in the hearts of all canadians they were also wel comed in great britain and in other countries which foster the interests or democracy the dominion of can ada be said la part of the sister hood ol the british empire x give to you assurance that the people of the united states will- not stand idly by if domination of canadian soil is threatened by any other empire the president reminded his hearers that for years when canadians and ameri cans have met they have light heart- edly saluted as north american friends without thought of danger from overseas now the situation has changed we in the americas he said are no longer a far away continent to which the eddies of con troversies beyond the seas could bring no interest and no harm the americas had become a consideration of every propaganda office and to every general staff beyond the seas another very strong point he made was that we cannot prevent our peo ple from having an opinion in regard to wanton brutality in regard to un democratic regimentation in regard to misery inflicted oirnelpless peoples or in regard to violations of accepted individual rights no country where thought is free can prevent every ftre- atde and home within its borders from considering the verdict for itself and tendering its verfctlct and the sum total of these conclusions of educated men and women will in the long run become the national verdict that is what we mean when we say that public opinion ultimately governs policy the british and the french press were very favorably impressed with president roosevelts speech to the salute of 01 guns with guards of honor with mounted police v unlng the

todays proceedings the ob bridge he said was another bond between two peoples who rivalled one another not in armaments but in devotion to the ways of peace was fitting that on the new bridge the representatives of the two coun tries should celebrate anew more than a century of peace between them he cordially endorsed and reciprocated the good neighbor policy which was so near to the heart of
