Gospels that it Is the meek who
will inherit the earth. The New
Deal will have little inheritance.
There are recommendations as to
righteous for Righteousness sake
only. I will not elaborate that.
Same Number Of Jobless
But Debt Grows by Billions.
If all this is the theory and
practice of muddle, where has it
brought us, even now? We have
spent $4,000, 100000 more than
the last Republican administration.
We have debt ten billions greater
than even the great war debt.
After three years, we still have the
same number of unemployed that
we had at the election of November
1882. These actions are bringing
injury to the well-being Of people
it purports to serve. 1t has pro-
duced gross reactionarism in the
guise of liberalism. And above all,
the New Deal has brought that
which George Washington called
alterations which may impair the
energy of the system and thus
overthrow that which cannot be
directly overthrown."
Republicans! After $50 years,
we have arrived at that hour.
Here, where the tablets of human
freedom were first handed down,
their sacred word has been f1outed.
Today the stern task is before the
Republican party to restore the
ark of that covenant to the temple
in Washington.
The New Deal may be a revolu-
tionary design to replace the Amer
ican system with despotism. 1t
may be the dream stuff Of false
liberalism. It may be the valor
of muddle. Their relationship to
each other. however, is exactly the
sistership of the witches who
brewed the cauldron of powerful
trouble for Macbeth. Their product
is the poisoning of AmerisaniSnl.
Strange Quiet Follows
Presidents mo Retreat" Cry.
The President has constantly
reiterated that he will not retreat.
For months, to be sure, there has
been a strange quiet. Just as the
last campaign was fought on prom
ises that have been broken, so ap-
parently this campaign is to be
slipped through by evasion.
But the American people have
the right to know now, while they
still have power to act. What is
going to be done after election
with these measures which the
Constitution forbids and the people
by their votes have never au-
thorized? What do the New Deal
ers purpose to do with these in
stable currencieS, unbalanced
budgets, debts and taxes? Fifty
words would make it clear. Surely
the propaganda agencies which
emit half a million words a day
could find room for these so. I mo
ticed they recently spent 800 words
on how to choose a hat. 1t is
slightly more important to know
the fate Of a nation.
You have the duty to determine
the principles upon which the Re-
publican party will stand. You
make the laws Of the party.
Whether it is within the party or
a government, our system is a
government of laws and not Of
men. This party holds its prom
ises.
Nation Must Be Turned
From Relief to Jobs.
The immediate task Is to set
the country on the road Of genuine
recovery from the paths Of in
stability. We have enough inven-
tions and enough accumulated
needs to start the physical rebuild
ing of America. The day the Re-
publican party can assure right
principles we can turn this Nation
from the decentralization Of relief
to the contentment Of constructive
jobs. Herein-and herein alone-is
a guarantee of jobs for the 1900.
900 idle based upon realities and
not on political claptrap. In the
meantime, the party which or
ganized efficient relief Of the un-
employed three years before the
New Deal was born will not turn
from those in need. That support
to distress comes from the con-
science and sympathy Of people,
not from the New Deal.

Republican party must undertake
progressive reforms from evils ex-
