elimination Of force were asked H.
said in part: l repeat and shall con
,inually declare that what we need In
this country is not less politics. but
more attention to politics. Politics is
the science Of government, and what we
need is more attention 10 science Of
government.
Our difficulties are largely econom-
ic. The industrial problems in this
country, which at the moment seem to
be overwhelming, can be, and l have
implicit faith, will be solved in one
way-by finding exact justice and en-
forcing it.
1T is simply matter Of Roosevelt
square DEAL exact justice for labor, ex'
act justice for capital and exact justice
for the public, the three sides OF the
triangle which must not be lost sight
Of. To that end we must develope a
reasonable method for honest and efh
cient labor to acquire an interest in the
business 10 which labor is expected 10
give its best efforts. Pending this de.
yelopment the equilibrium between
prduction aud wages must be estab-
lished, aud there must be justice Tor
all, exact justice, the justice Of right
and OF reason, but not Of force. JUS
tice for all, and do not forgot that the
American people will know what sx-
act justice is.
The Republican party from its incep'
,ion has stood against undue iederallEa'
ton of industries and activities. There
must be strong federal regulation, but
not federal ownership. We have al
ways endeavored and still shall endeavor
to find the middle ground so we'll de-
fined as between the anarchy Of unreg'
ulated individualism and the deaden
ng Journalism Of inefficient and wide
spread state ownership. We are
against paternaism in government, and
we are against that form OF pedagogic
paternalism that has developed recent
" in this country. We are against au.
tocracy as vigorously as we are against
anarchy. BolshevisIn snd kaizeTisn are
equally dangerous in industry as in
government We are against both.
There shall be legislation passed as
rapidly as possible, and when the com
plcte Republican control necessary for
full functioning shall have been brot
about there shall be legislation and ex'
ecution on all Of these things | have
mentioned, all moving in the direc'
tion Of efficiency and economy for
the establishment Of business in the
country on sound, safe ard sane ha6'
Is. The solution Of the railroad prob
lem, legislation for a better relation be-
tween labor and capital, with Justice
Ior both; a law providing for budget
system for the country's own business,
method which should have been adop'
ted long ago--and it is interesting TO
note that 10 the message oil the CHIEF
executive last given TO congress he en-
tirely ommited any mention Of budg
ct system.
There shall De Legislation for the de-
velopment Of rade, the Improvement
Of our diplomatic service, hat We may
have merchant marine adequate 10 meet
the developmnt Of world trade; the
development Of our position on inter
national relations and still other inDum'
erable problems, all incident 10 The
the readjustment which is imminent.
Let not our great Accomplishments
in wst be marred by our inability to
order our own affairs. Mere agitation
and mere motion are not progress. The
vicious circle is not the shortest dis
tance between honest effort and highest
yweard. Remember that one man is
only better Than another when he does
better. Give every i'll behaved man
his equality Of opportunity and require
from him his full measure Of account
