bring about more immediate return
Of prosperity"
II and when the Republicans come
into power. said Mr.. Cole, they would
abolish the one-man dictatorship
under which toe-kissing lackeys issue
daily new DEGREES spun from their own
vhims and theories.
They would remove from the backs
of the taxpayers the $4,000 snoopers
who now proWl about the country,
abridging the liberties of the people
and hampering them in their efforts
to earn their own livings instead of
r7celving doles from the hands of self
seeking politicians.
Flays Government Spending.
They would quit reckless spending
Of public moneys. balance the budget
and begin paying off the so-called
emergency debts as they paid off from
1921 TO 1928 ten billions of the war
debts.
They would restore the inspectors
Of immigration who were deposed
after Marched, 1888. guard again the
gates at Ellis Island and continue to
neport those who have been found
guilty of illegal entry, or of violating
the laws of the country they have
invaded. They would make the Amer
lean collar again the standard of
values throughout the world instead
ot being the byWord and scofing it
has become. They would make again
the name American honored at home
Hnd respected abroad, the proudest title
Of citizenship known among men.
These are some of the things the Re-
publcanS would do. and many more
like item.
But much as covet the honor and
fhe glory for my party of doing and
redolng such things" said Mr. Cole,
Il covet for my country more i'm
mediate return of the prosperity which
we lost temporarily through events not
Of our own making but to some OF
which We stand in the relationship of
contributory negligence, a return that
We have hampered with ceaseless and
senSeless experiments.
Fears Morale viii Break.
Every added day of waiting is day
too long. If we have to wait too long
the American fiber may snap and the
American people may become as ema-
Ciated and as hopeless as the hordeS of
India, where they threw surplus babies
into the Ganges as We have recently
thrown so-called surplus pigs on our
manure piles. would rather save the
people now. than save the party which
have loved, in the elections of 1886"

speaker said he would Suggest it"
IF the man who still sits in the
White House" said Cole, will tomor-
row abandon his experimental isms'
and substitute for them the verities Of
business experience; If he will dismiss
the nondescript theorists from Rich
berg to Mordecai Ezekiel and summon
in their stead the constructive veritists
of his own party from Al Smith to
Bernard Baruch, on the day after that
tomorrow the sun would begin to shine
again on this fair land and the bn-
regimented millions would resume the
march of recovery to prosperity. All
he has to do is to close the back door
of the White House to the RaSputins,
who have bewitched its inmates. and
TO open the front door to men with
American visions and ideals.
Hoover Highly Praised.
will he have the courage to aban-
don the deluSions of. grandeur we
have been pursuing under false ad
visers? If not, then the fight will and
must go on, for the American people
will never submit to have the Soviet
of Lenin substituted for the Republic
Of Washington, be the price of the
ultimate victory what it may"
Praising Herbert Hoover, the speaker
said that in the election of 1884 Hoo
yer was tried for what happened in
1929"
Historically" said the speaker, che
was not to blame for that catastrophe
1t did not originate in and it was not
limited to the United States"
Tracing the efforts to balance the
budget, Cole declared the defeat by
the House of the wholesale price sales
tax was to him and many others in
the House the saddest day since the
declaration of war" Declaring 1T re-
corded q national calamity and dis
aster," the speaker asked What
might We not have escaped had that
bill been passed and the budget bal
anced?"
In Washington, Cole said. Govern
ment workers had grown in numbers
so that we find them scattered
through SO hired buildings The pay
rolls had been increased for 100, 900
additional persons. he declared
Economy has become a byword, and
thrift is laughed at as something old
fashioned and as almost criminally
associated with the old order" he said.
Recalls Douglas Efforts.
= What used to be known as the
budget Is now something almost
damned" said the speaker. The di-
rector who tried to insist on an honest
budgetary accounting has left him
self forced to resign. If he could not
save the country from impending
bankruptcy. he wanted to save his
own name and conscience"
Referring to the recovery status of
America, he asked, And for all this
! spending what do we have and where
are We? The statisticians of the
League of Nations" he said. who
keep track of such things have re-
Gently published the standings Of the
nations with respect to recovery. TAX
ing 1918 as normal, they give to Eng
land a rating of 103. and to the
United States a rating of only 78,
which is 10 points below even that of
poor .Hitlerized Germany. To this
the statement must be appended that
while England has taken care of its
needy as we'll as We have, it has,
| nevertheless. in the meantime bal
anced its budget, while our own bud
get has gone six billions out of bal
ance and has become as red as any
kthing In Russia, and growing redder."
