DETROIT, October 22.-Pointing
directly to 10 points of evidence
that "the gigantic forces of de-
preston are in retreat" President
Hoover tonight asserted the Demo-
cratic party had retarded this re-
covery and that its leader had
broadcast "a misstatement of
facts"
Greeted in Detroit with mingled
boos and cheers, the President was
given a riotouS four minute ova-
tion when finally he entered the
arena.
The boos we're given him at the
railroad station by crowd bear
ing banners labeled Vote Com
munist" and workers Ex-Serv-
ice Mems League"
Heckler Hauled Down.
When one of their members at
tempted to speak from the van
tage point of a lamp post, throw
ing handbillS to those below him,
he was unceremoniouSly hauled
down by several men shouting,
1--WE want Hoover"
Once inside the arena, where a year
ago he pleaded successfully with the
American Legion against the bonus, the
President responded with smiles and
bows to the cheers and applause from
a throng that packed solid the l8,000-
seat auditorium and overflowed into the
aisleS.
The crowd applauded when he time
after time assailed statements he quoted
from his Democratic opponent, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt.
He said that Roosevelt had been
"amazingly removed from the truth in
his recent statement that the admins
tration's fiscal policy was "extravagant. '
Plan Held Fantastic.
The Democratic nominee, he asserted,
had sponsored a plan holding out hope
that 10000,000 men and women now
unemployed will be given jobs by the
Government" He said such plan was
fantastic" and asked:
rs this the new deal?"
At the very outset of his address the
President declared that the Nations
economic tide has turned"
Then he named his 10 points OF "evl-
dence" as follows:
Return of 100000, 900 of gold into
the country through restored conf
dence abroad; return of S250000, 900
of currency from boarding; increase in
the values of bonds by 20 per cent; in
crease in manufacturing production by
10 per cent, in some groups, such as
textiles, by so per cent; increase in
building contracts; return of 10000
workers to the manufacturing indus
try in August and 100000 more in
September; increase in carloadingS
from AGO. 900 per week to 650,000 per
week; increase in exports and imports
by nearly % per cent; improvement in
farm prices. and decrease in bank
failures.
The gigantic forces of depression
are in retreat" he said.
Our measures and policies have
demonstrated their effectiveness"
Then, while listing 18 recommended
tions made by him as the Republican
program" the Chief Executive 6e-
voted much of his address to an attack
upon statements made by Democratic
leaders during the campaign and to
what he called ''the destructive Demo-
cratic program" proposed during the
last session of Congress.
Assails Democratic Plan.
The Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, he asserted, has refused to re-
nounce or disavow these destructive
measures. or to give the country the
assurance it deserves that he will not
be party to these measures, includ-
ing the prepayment of the bonus.
observing this and examining the
dominant elements of his party under
the leadership of the vice presidential
candidate, We can only assume that
this program is still in allegiance. to be
produced by them if they shall come
into power"
The President directed one main
shaft of his attack upon letter he
quoted as having been written by
Roosevelt and containing the statement
that he believed lin the inherent right
of every citizen to employment at
living wage and pledge my support to
whatever measures I may deem neces-
sary for inaugurating self-liquidating
public works. such as utilization OF our
water resources, flood control and land
reclamation, to provide employment Tor
all surplus labor at all times"
