CRITICS ROLE
Silence Broken, Charges
Roosevelt Repudiated
Campaign Pledges
By RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. (UP).
The Republican national commit
tee has broken its long silence to
charge President Roosevelt with
repudiating campaign pledges.
In booklet prepared for use
by Republican party workers, the
national committee asserts that
Mr.. Roosevelt has broken away
from sound money and embraced
the rubber dollar; failed to re-
duce the cost of government 70
per cent or to balance the bud
get; failed to expedite public
works; engaged the government
in transactions in farm commo-
dities that failed to restore price
parity for agriculture; failed to
lower the tariff; subsidized ex-
ports; taxed food and clothing;
left bank deposits tied up for
months; urged unsafe banking to
bolster NRA; weakened antitrust
laws, and taken government into
the field of private business on a
large scale.
In each instance, the Republi-
can committee cites Democratic
platform planks or earlier utter
ances by Mr.. Roosevelt which it
regards as pledges violated by
subsequent action. ,
"Under the national industrial
recovery act" the committee
SAYS, "the government has not
only invaded the field of private
enterprise, but it has taken over
the control of every private en-
terprise, setting up machinery
whereby, with the authority of
the law, it fixes wages, hours OF
labor, conditions of employment,
output distribution and prices,
as we'll as trade practices. In ad-
dition, it sets up a board IN
which it has the controlling pow
er to manage every private bust
ness in the United States through
the fundamentally of codes"
This break in the political
truce under which Mr.. Roosevelt
launched his recovery program
was viewed in Washington as a
significant political development,
opening the way for he congress,
sional campaign next year when
the country will have its first
opportunity to pass judgment by
the ballot upon what is being
done.
The Republican booklet is dat
ed October 10 but was given
general publicity only Tuesday.
1t leads off with a round up
of Mr.. Roosevelt's sound money
declarations and cites as contrast
ing actions, the presidents alleg-
ed sponsorship of the Thomas in
flation amendment, the gold anti
boarding order, abandonment OF
the gold payment clause in gov.
eminent bonds and contracts, and
refusal to stabilize currency in
ternationally.
"He went off on tangent
about a currency based upon q
commodity dollar" the national
committee statement adds. His
message to the London economic
conference" it said "both be,
cause of its contents and its i'm,
pertinence, wrecked the confer
ence."
Administration claims that ex.
penses have been reduced ST.
| OOO,OO0,O00 are wholly fictiti'

Army Will Be lncreased--Araki
War Minister Points to Fact That Every Other Coun
try Is Making Military Preparations Now

that from a military and technical
point of view the army Of the
U.S.S.R. should be the hypothetl-
cal objective of Japanese military
preparations. and the navy of the
United States the hypothetical oh
jective of our navy.
Because Japan, in common
with other nations believes in pre-
paredness is no reason to jump to
the conclusion that Japan will
take any rash action"
General Araki defended the
Japanese policy in which army
leaders are dominant.
"Criticisms have been made OF
the army for its positive stand OH
vital issues" he said. Il cannot
however, see how any such crltl-
cisms are justified.
"The soldiers of Japan must re-
main steadfast and just, a spirit
which the army is fostering.
"They have a grave responsiloi-
lily to quiet the unrest in agrarlan
communities. This unrest is not
due to money alone. 1t is prob
lem of the spirit as we'll as econo-
mics. :,
"Peace is essential. Although
Japan withdrew from the League,
in accordance with the policy de-
termined at that time, she is lend
ing her every effort to the stab
lishment of peace.
"What Japan is accomplishing
is the modification of Manchukuo

BOXING EVENT
AFFAIR PULLED OFF YESTER.
DAY AFTERNOON AT
SCHOOL GYM
(By Paul Sawyer)

The school gym was packed to
capacity yesterday afternoon
when the first pair of fighters
entered the ring. Curtis Stanton
won a victory over Woodrow AL
bury. In the next bout, Frank
Lund proved to be too good for
FRED Alderman and won deeid-
ed victory.

cause of an injured eye received
by James Watkins. The main
and best bout was very fast. The
bell rang and William Gates en-
tered the ring like a fighting tt
ger. Although Gates had the odds,
Albert Arnao staged a very good
fight on his part, both boys pass
ing swift blows.
The decision was finally given
to Gates by the referee, John Ne
bo.
There were many other inter
esting matches in the gym.
The Junior class is planning to
give another match in the near
future.
