Both Liberal and Conservative
members of the Republican party
will be asked to take the stump in
a nationwide speaking campaign for
the congressional elections and con-
centrate every effort toward regain
ing seats In the Midwest and North
western states.
That the New Deal will be vigor-
ously attacked, the Constitution OK
tolled and the growth OF bureau
cracy denounced Is apparent from
past events. Last week, Senator
Daniel o. Hastings, co-chairman OF
the Republican congressional com
mittee, enlarged the offensive by
charging that the millions OF dollars
now being spent by the New Dealers
was lin effect a campaign fund and
that that spending will be augment
ed by hundreds Of millions of dollars
before the next election"
Along somewhat different lines
came the prediction OF Senator Ger
aid P. Nye, recently returned to
Washington from the drought-strick-
en- Northwest, that the Republicans
would suffer another crushing de-
feat at the polls" In 1886. Nye, an
outstanding critic of the MIRA. says
that the Republicans will nominate
Ogden Mills. Senator David Reed or
Representative Wadsworth on an
"ultra4Conservative platform op
posing the New Deal achievements.
He denies that dissatisfaction over
some phases OF the New Deal means
a return OF Conservatism. Other out
spoken statements by the North Da-
kotan was that the MIRA had failed
as a recovery agency and that farm
ers were opposed to making the
AAA a permanent feature OF agri-
cultural life although grateful for
crop reduction checks. He insisted
that it must not be scrapped, how
ever, until a substitute unit is pro
yided for adequate relief machinery
to agricultura4ists.
The report OF the War Depart
ment's special aviation committee,
headed by Newton d. Baker, former
Secretary OF War, and composed Of
eleven civilians and generals, declar-
es that "in general" aviation the I'm
tied States "leads the world" being
superior In commercial aviation,
stronger than any other power In
naval aviation and suggests that
with greater financial support army
aviation can be raised to q world
position equal to that held by our
navy 1t declared against consolida-
ton of the army and navy aviation
services into a single unit and main
tanned that strengthening the aerial
forces is essential to adequate ma
tional defense.
The report recommended an in
crease In army aviation strength
from the present 1900 planes to 1870
planes with a corresponding In
crease in flying personnel. Express
Ing the opinion that this country Wal
comparatively free from the threat OF
overseas air invasion because nc
airplane has been developed capable
OF carrying an effective military load
across the Atlantic or Pacific, the
committee, nevertheless. felt that the
army air corps must be ready at al
times for war service.
