COUNTRY FACED
WITH DOUBT ON
TRIO OF ISSUES
Says Democrats Would Thrust
u. S. Into Business Which
Caused Problems
ABANDON PARTY TENETS
Advocates General Policy With
Complete Protection to Pub
lie Interest

New York, Oct. 2S.-(AP)-Hav-
ing been greeted enthusiastically in
the home city of his opponent when
he criticised as "state socialism" the
policies Of Governor Smith, Herbert
Hoover returned to Washington to-
day.
Madison Square Garden with its
seating capacity Of about $4,000 was
filled while thousands of others
gathered in the street to cheer the
Republican nominee as he entered
and left the hall.
Because the country is faced with
difficulty and doubt over certain na-
tional problems-that is, prohibition,
farm relief and electrical power
our opponents propose that we must
thrust government . long way into
the businesses which give rise to
these problems" he said.
I'm effect, they abandon the tenets
OF their own party and turn to state
socialism as q solution for the diff
culties presented by all three.
Government in Business
1T is proposed that we shall
change from prohibition to the state
purchase and sale Of liquor. If their
agricultural relief program means
anything, it means that the govern
mcnt shall directly or indirectly buy
and sell and fix prices of arricultur-
al products. And we are to 90 into
the hydro-electric power business.
In other words, we are confronted
with a huge program Of government
in business"
Expressing opposition to having
the government in business, he said,
a program of this nature would
"stifle initiative and invention: it
would undermine the development
and leadership; it would cramp and
cripple the spiritual energies of our
people; it would extinguish equality
in opportunity; it would dry up the
spirit Of liberty and progress"
Hoover declared he was advoc.t-
ing a general policy which did rot
mean that the government was to
part with zone iota of it's natural
resources without complete protcc-
tion to the public interest"
Must Be By.product
II have already stated" he said,
"that where the government is en-
gagged in public works for purposes
Of flood control, Of navigation, Of
scientific research or national de-
fense. or in pioneering in new art, it
will at all times necessarily produce
power or commodities as . by-pro-
duet, but it must be by-product Of
the major purpose, not the major
purpose ITSELF"
Vice President Dawes made his
first speech Of the campaign 1T the
Madison Square Garden meeting,
saying that the issue was the main
tenance Of prosperity.
Hoover received q great ovation.
He was cheered nine minutes when
he went on the platform and IL min
utes when he arose to speak. The
proportion Of women in the audience
was large. Nearly all at the meet
ing waved American flags.
Has Busy Day
The Republican candidate arrived
in New York Sunday night and left
for Washington early this morning
