complish this the country is in need
of a rejuvenated and vigorous Re
publican organization.
The rebirth Of the Republican
party transcends any personal in
I terest or the selfish interest of any
group. That organization will be
the stronger if, like your own ses-
sions, it springs from the people
who believe in these principles.
Lauds Youth Movement
"3. It is we'll that the young men
and women of the Republican party
should meet and give attention to
this drift from national moorings.
Some Of the concrete results of
these policies are already apparent.
The most solemn government OBJ
legations have been repudiated.
The nation is faced with the great
est debt ever known to our country.
The currency has been rendered I'M
certain. The government has been
centralized under an enormous bu-
reaucracy in Washington which has
dictated and limited the production
of our industries, increasing the
costs and prices of their products
with inevitable decreased consump-
ton
"Monopolistic practices have been
organized on a gigantic scale. Small
business men have been disabled
and crushed. Class conflicts have
been created and embittered. The
government has gone into business
in competition with its citizens.
Citizens have been coerced, threat
ened and penalized for offenses I'M
known to all concepts of liberty. The
courts are proclaiming repeated vio-
lations of the Constitution.
Food Destruction ASsailed
Because of food destruction and
restraint on farm production, for
eign food is pouring into our ports,
purchase of which should have been
made from our farmers. The cost
of living is steadily advancing. More
people are dependent upon the gov
eminent for relief than ever before.
Recovery is still delayed. The pro-
ductive g'nius of our people, which
is the sole road to recovery and to
increased standards of living, is be-
ing stif1ed, the nation impoverished
instead of enriched. The theories
of this administration do not work.
They are no longer a propagandized
millennium; they are self-eXposed.
a. The people have a right to an
opportunity to change these policies.
1t is the duty of the Republican
party to offer that opportunity.
And beyond insistence upon Ameri-
can foundations of government, it
is the duty Of the party to insist
upon realistic methods of recovery,
real jobs for labor and real markets
for the farmer. Those methods lie
in removing the shackles and I'M
certainties from enterprise.
Raps Economy Scarcity
After nearly six years of depres-
sion, liquidation, restriction of all
manner Of purchases and improve
ments, we stand on the threshold of
a great forward, economic move
ment, if only the paralyzing effects
of mistaken governmental policies
and activities may be removed.
The present conception of a ma
tional economy based upon scarcity
must IL all common sense be re-
Versed to an economy based upon
production, or workman, farmer
and business man alike are de-
feated.
Surely economic life advances
only through increasing production
by use of every instrument science
gave to us, through lowering Of
costs and prices with consequent in
crease in consumption, and through
higher real wages to the workers
and real return to the farmer"
Control Through Population
Effective reform of abuses in
business and finance must be I'M
dertaken through regulation and
not through bureaucratic dictation
or government operation. Protec-
ton to individual enterprise from
monopolies musts be re-established
whereby the smaller businesses may
live. Sitting uncertainties of cur
rency manipulation must be re-
moved. Government expenditures
which, if continued on the present
scale, can create only bankruptcy
or calamitous imitation, must be
curtailed.
The effective participation CT the
states and local governments in re-
lief under nonpartisan adninistra-
tors must be re-eSta blished so that
waste, extravaganza and politics may
be eliminated and the people better
served.
Great social problems of better
safeguards to the individual against
the dislocations of advancing indus
try. national calamity and old age
must be discovered. But these prob
lens of business, agriculture and
labor become much easier with
restoration of economic common
sense. Indeed, a score Of economic
and social questions must be solved,
and in their answers are locked the
real advancement of life and the
attainment of security and content
ment in the American home-for
that is the ultimate expression OF
American life. But their solution
will not be found in violation Of the
foundations of human liberty.
Invisible Government
%. It is we'll that we pause a mo-
ment to examine what detectives we
wish TO secure from the vast COM
pick OF invisible governmental, eco
nomic and social forces which dom
mate our civilization.
The objective of American life
must be to upbuild and protect the
family and the home, whether
farmer. worker, or business man.
That is the unit OF American life.
