No principles and Dodglps II Issues

No Principles md Dodgibg the Issues
Mr.. Reagan, Of Texas, Postmaster Gen.
eral under the Confederacy, OF recent years
sort OF rude classic on the Democratic
side Of the House, and father Of the Reagan
Interstate commerce bill, has been airing
himself on his party and its platforms. He
3 thinks that the politicians and newspapers
OF his party are trying to hide from them
selves and the country the fact that there
are issues pressing for solution.
With the Ohio Democratic platform
before him Mr.. Reagan remarks that "the
recent declarations Of the Democracy pre-.
sent set OF resolutions that may mean
anything or nothing" What. could be
truer? This Is the frat thought that struck
everybody on reading that marvellous tariff
plank in the Ohio Drmocratic platform
the furthest remove from declaration Of
principles, merely contrivance to catch
votes. Commenting on Mr.. Reagan's strik'
ing utterances the Chicago Tribune says:
The last thing 10 the world which the DEM.
ocrauc party wants Is issues, There IL not
an issue OF any sort before the country which
II dAres to face "a narey. II doesn't want Issues.
Il doesn't want sentiments. 1t doesn't want
anything but Offices, and for every office
there are about as many candidates as there
are Democrats. Hence there can be no uuanim-
ity among them. Assoon Us an issue comes
up they dodge II and sqairm 10 every direc-
ton so as to avoid II, or, as Mr.. Reagan very
truthinlly expresses 1t, they present set Of
resolutions that may IN an anything or moth
ingn spoils.huntels don't want principles.
When Mr.. Reagan comes u realiz this In bis
PARKWAY corner, where no one Is looking for
spols becaus, IL Is u eiess, he may net be %
thoroughly discouraged. At at he will
cease 10 wonder, aud no will come TO regard
his present longing for principle9 as futile
and as silly a, the crying OF child for the
moon.
