Deal you did not know you were allied
with those forces Of darkness. You
know it now.
No one defends such wickedness.
But 1t happens that after three years
of the New Deal the same men direct
business today that were there three
years ago. But what has become of
the new laws designed to reform the
wicked? We have seen no indict-
ments except political oratory. That
Is confusing.
Money Changers Back Again,
All Of Them With Helpers.
You will recall that three years ago
the President gave the comforting as
surance that ''the money changers
have fed from their high seats in the
temple of our civilization" 1t wauld
appear that after three years Of the
New Deal they have all come back
again with helpers Also ! had the
impression that the New Deal had
taken over the business of changing
the money.
The human animal has many primi-
tive instincts that morals, religion and
the law have not been able wholly to
eradicate. He has two forms of greed
the greed for money and the greed for
power. The lust for power is infinitely
the worse. The greed for money can
be curbed by law, but the greed for
power seizes the law itself for its ends.

Is wholesome and proper" The Presi-
dent comedies that in other hands 1t

By the Associated Press.

PORTLAND, Oreg., February l3.-
Following is the text Of former Pres
ident Herbert Hoover's address at the
Lincoln birthday dinner here last
| night:
In less than q year our country must
make q decision no less fateful than
that which confronted Abraham Lin
coin.
Since the Great War liberty has
fallen in a score Of nations. In Amer
lea, where it blazed brightest, and by
its glow shed light to all others, it Is
today impaired and endangered.
Again 1--WE are testing whether that
Nation or any nation so conceived and
so dedicated can long endure"
When that test confronted Lincoln,
he carried it to the people in national
debate, No greater tribute can be paid
him than that we shall devote this
day Of his memory to that high pur-
pose.
If the truth and right decisions are
to be found, this discussion must be
held to the mold of courtesy, good
humor. hard hitting, and above all, to
the intellectual honesty which Lin
coin kept in all his fateful years.
Personalities and mud singing never
clarified O national issue.
There has lately been q new ava
lanche Of oratory on behalf Of the
common people," the average man" )"
the economic middle class" and the
rank and file." That Is right. These
are the people for whom America was
made. They carry the burdens of
America. They make its moral fiber.
They are the people whose interest
needs defense right now. Mr.. Lincoln
said the Lord must have loved them,
because He created so many Of them.
There are others who love their votes.
Declared All Agree to Right
for Finer, Happier Life"
| The President stated q month ago
that the issue before us is "the right
Of the average man and woman to
lead a finer, better and happier life. "
That is an objective to which we all
agree. That Is the ideal of Americans
since it was first mentioned in the
Declaration Of Independence. That is
not an issue. The issue the New Deal
methods and objectives which are de-
stroying this very thing.
The issue is the attempt to fasten
upon the American people some sort
of system Of personal government
for q government Of laws, system
Of Capitalization under a political
bureaucracy. system Of debt, sys-
tenn Of imitation, a system which would
stif1e the freedom and liberty Of men.
And it can be examined in the cold
light of three years experience.
1t would seem that since the Su-
preme Court decisions we have aban-
doned the issue Of the more abundant
life. That was found to contain many
roads to trouble.
1t is the actual state of the Union
that I propose to discuss this eve
ming.
The outstanding state Of this Union
at this hour is state Of confusion
Confusion in thought, confusion in
Evening star., 1936-02-13

Government, confusion In economic
life. and confusion in ideals. Few ma
tional problems have been really
solved. I have time for only o few
Illustrations Of this bewildering mud
die which jeopardizes the liberty Of a
great people.
And the test Of 1t all is, whether
we are moving to the finer, better.
and happier life for the average man
and woman"
Declares New Deal Itself
"Veritable Fountain OF Fear"
The President in his message on the
state of the Union seems to fear that
fear is prevalent in the Union. He says.
The only thing we have to fear is
fear" He finds malevolent forces
creating fear. Just so.
The New Deal has been a veritable
fountain of fear. The day after the
New Deal was given life at the election
Of 1892 began the great fear which
created the bank panic of March 4.
The stock boom today Is not from
confidence in the future; it is partly
from fear Of imitation. The unemploy-
ment of millions of men in the capital
goods industries is due to fear Of New
Deal currency policies. It was the
Supreme Court decisions crashing
through New Deal tyrannies which
brought q gleam Of confidence from
the fears that had retarded recovery.
The guiding spirit of the alphabet
has not been love. 1t has been fear.
The President In reporting on the
state of the Union also found 1t alive
with "money-changers," seekers for
selfish power" dishonest speculators," {"
economic autocrats," and "entrenched
greed"
However, that has points in con-
fusing the public mind. Any, judge
Of debate would admit 1t. 1t has
merit as a call to class war, a red
herring across the trail Of failure, an
implication that all opponents are de-
tenders of evil, a claim that righteous
ness now has refuge alone in WASH
ington, and an avoidance of facts and
figures. It is not the mold of debate
of Abraham Lincoln. 1t does not heal
the wounds of the Nation.
In any event, in opposing the New

strike. consumption Of food decreases,
Nation imports foods, farmers mar
kets given to foreigners, economy of
scarcity. Nation gets richer by produc-
ing less at higher costs.
Their language was confounded and
they were scattered by the Supreme
Court.
But O new confusion arises. The
spokesmen Of the administration talk
OF the resurrection Of these theories
as the tAsis Of our future economic
life. The President refuses to say
that they are finished. On the con-
trary In his address of January 8,
after asserting the success Of New
Deal measures, he says: IT recon-
mend to Congress that we advance,
that we do not retreat" My impress
sion Is that Napoleon used somewhat
that expression when he was march,
ing to Moscow.
The American people have q right
to have this clarified. Has the Presi-
dent abandoned these theories or not?
The third battalion of confusion
has been the spending, budget def
cits, debts, currency, and credit.
Within q month since the Presidents
budget message it has become more
confused by four or five billions more
expenditures.
