New Magic From the New Deal

Since I last discussed these ques-
tons the New Deal has brought
forth another new magic formula
to reach the millennium. On April
Is President Roosevelt said: Re
duction of costs of manufacture does
not mean more purchasing power
and more goods consumed. 1t means
just the opposite. The President
Celebrates its benefits and i'm
plies it is the base of his slogan for
SO. If this word opposite" means
anything, then this statement says
that increased costs of manufac-
turing means increased purchas-
ing power and more goods con-
sumed" Most of the world has been
under an illusion about this up to
now. We had all thought that the
way to enable the people to buy
more was to use every art of tech
nology and government to reduce
costs and therefore prices. provided
we held up wages and incomes TO
farmers and others. We had relied
on such experiences as the automo-
bile. We got about two-thirds of the
worlds automobiles because the
production costs and, therefore,
prices were brought down into reach
of 20,0OO,0 900 families.
At least we now know why the
New Deal has imposed all their diff
ferent devices of debts, taxes, re-
striction of production, juggling
with currency, and a score of other
methods of artificialy forcing up
costs and prices. The magic formula
may also explain why we still have
l2,OOO,OOO unemployed. Certainly
there is no joy tor the consumer in
this return again to planned scare
ity.
1t 1 were writing a bill of rights
Tor women I should include some
thing about her rights as a con-
sumner. The woman does most of
the buying. She has to make things
&c around. She has to do most OF
the saving. She has to protect the
future. These artificial Increases in
the cost of living all decrease the
amount she can purchase and save
What of those women who must
exc out the reduced buying power
OF these magic formulas?
DR.. Kemmerer, speaking in New
York City month ago, said: eve
nave already set into operation DOW
erful inflationary forces which when
they have ultimately worked out
their influence on commodity prices
Will probably result in giving us a
cost of living approximately double
what it is today" w. d
Over 100000 women are the
benef1ciarieS of life insurance poll
cles alone. Sixty-five per cent of all
savings accounts are in the names OF
women. There are some $1,000, OOC
women and girls in the United
States. We have been accused OF
a few forgotten men, but the New
Deal has forgotten all the women.
Lincoln said, Don't swap horses
in the middle of the stream" A
school for Democratic ladies is re-
peating that advice. They should
be sure it is horse. My belief is
that it is white rabbit.

charge upon wages and industry
which will sooner or later be passed
on TO the consumer. 1t will even
tually add 5 to 10 per cent to the
cost Of living. The farmers win be
paying as much as the worker and
get nothing. The Republicans must
find sane plan of old-age pensions.
Housing
I have for years been promoting
better housing. The last Republican
administration established the Home
Loan Bank system and the r. F. G.
provisions for slum clearance. That
was the first governmental effort 10
better the financing of home build
ing. The whole New Deal housing
set-up needs reorganization. We
must get the government out of Che
home mortgage foreclosing and
HOUSEKEEPING business and give a
genuine impulse to better homes.

home. The important thing is that
the Republican Party must deal with
them with fortnight decision and
with an open vision which BELTS 9
progressive nation.
I have discussed many of these
questions elsewhere. There are
three which are ~ especial interest
to women to which I might refer
again.
Child Labor
Every decent American agrees
upon the abolition of child labor
Republican Presidents have pro-
gressively modified opinion against
it. We did in 20 years decrease the
number of children under is in in
dustry-that is, outside of farming
from about 100000 to less than
zoo, 900 at the last census report in
1890. That was a decrease IN pro-
portion of about 10 per cent in 20
years. The President said that un-
der the codes child labor went out
IA naSn. IL was mostly lash III
the pan.
The Republican Party must pledge
that it will really be done.
Old-Age Pensions
Many states under normally Re-
publican government have given old
age pensions for years. We should
approve of Federal subsidy to the
states to strengthen and unity their
efforts. The contributory pension
part of the social security acts will
require radical revision. It covers
only 90 per cent Of the people. This
revision must be done in Justice to
the farmers If for no other of many
reasons. The farmers are omitted
from its benefits, yet they viii be
called upon TO pay. The reason Is
that the support Of the scheme is a

Moral Regeneration in Government

moral Regeneration In Government
The Republican Party must face
tasks beyond economic and social
regeneration. There are tasks of
moral regeneration. The Republican
Party was born to meet a moral
issue.
A nation is great not by it's riches
or buildings or automobiles but
through the character of its people.
The flbers of that are work, thrift,
piety, truth, honesty, honor and
fidelity to trust. I emphasize
this before group of American
women because it is at the knees of
American womanhood that the men
of America have generation by gen.
Grafton learned these standards.
The first standard bearer of these
virtues must be it's government and
public officials. But there is ap-
parently 6, New Deal in virtue.
Every spread of bureaucratic con-
troll that makes men more subjective
or dependent on government weak
ems that independence and self
respect. National stamina suffers
by encouraging parasitic learners
whether on doorposts or govern
ments. There is self-respect and
dignity that marks free men.
Honor in public life begins with
political parties. The people must
depend upon political parties to

elected to high office on certain
promises and those promises are
cynically broken, how may we ex-
pect a citizen to feel the obligation,
OF a promise and good faith?
There are standards of intellectual
honesty in government. Framed
propaganda and perverted figures
miSlead the thinking of the people.
Pressures upon the press lead down
the same dark alleys. That is sales
manship, not craftsmanship.
There are standards of gentlemen
In government. The seizure by the
government of the communications
of persons not charged with wrong
doing justifies the immoral conduct
of every snooper.
There are standards of financial
honor in government. The New Deal
devalued the dollar. Thus it repudi-
ated the covenants of the govern
ment to those who had entrusted il
with their savings. Senator Carte:
Glass ON April ~. 1888, rightly said
ITO me it means dishonor; in my
conception it is immoral" If pri-
vate citizen had repudiated Al pei
cent of his debt to the grocer BY
just telling him it was off, at Least
he would be removed from hi;
church. He also would be expelled
from Wall Street. The government
can not restore the dollar, but dc
such transactions build character N
a people?
The New Deal Administration or
dered every citizen to bring in lis
gold coin and receive $40 an oufice
for it under penalty of Jail. At the
very time citizens were brir ing In
the small funds that many Oh them
held against a rainy day, our gov
eminent was paying $35 an ounce

dress last night in Philadel-
phia follows:
PART 1
In addressing an organization of
women let me say at once that
have never believed the UNDER
standing Of governmental problems
differed in women and IN men. But
many years of observation have
taught me that women have KEEN
er perception Of morals IN govern

science in national ideals.
During the past year | have de-
voted myself to debate and the ex-
posure of the New Deal for what it
really is. I have done so solely be-
cause the republic is in great peril.
These men have set forces In mo-
ton which unless they be stopped
will lessen the living and happi-
ness in every cottage. They will
shrink the chance in live of every
boy and girl
i have offered constructive Amer
lean alternatives. The President re-
Gently in addressing the youth of
our nation advised them Ito dream
dreams and see visions" l have
advised them to wake up.
The radio has carried these
speeches into tens of millions of
homes. The newspapers have print
ed them in tens of millions of
copies. Thousands and thousands
have written, opening their hearts
to me, in passionate cry that we
quicken this attack.
But the exposure of the New Deal
Is only one-half of the battle. The
people are rightly demanding to
know what we propose to do.
The Republican convention will
assemble in a few weeks. The Re-
publican Party is the only avail
able fundamentally through which
an aroused people can act. The
Democratic Party is imprisoned by
the New Deal We should dismiss
all factional issues and invite those
Democrats who feel as we do to
join us in faith that we have but
one purpose-that is to place the
republic on the road to safety. The
platform must be more than a party
platform. Tt must be a platform
for the American people. Upon the
determinations of the convention
will depend the fate Of a genera
ton.
The bare planks in The platform
can be composed on a sheet of pa
per. They should be composed in
the fighting words which the times
demand. But behind these words
must be the determination to re-
store American liberty and to revi-
talize American life.
Nor can we define our problems
in the vague and distorted phrases
of conservatism, liberalism, or rad
icalism. Those expressions mean
nothing unless you precisely define
them each hour, Or job Is bigger
than dialecticS
1t would be far better that the
party go down to defeat with the
banner of principle flying than to
win by pussyfooting.

PART II

The grim danger that confronts
America IS the destruction of hui
man freedom. We must fight again
for a. government founded upon or
dered individual liberty and oppor-
tunity that was the American Wis
ion. II we lose we will continue
down this New Deal read to some
sort of personal government based
upon collectivist theories. Under
these ideas ours can become some
sort of Fascist government. In that
case big business manages the coun-
try for It's financial profit at the
cost Of human liberty. Or we can
become some sort of Socialist state.
In that case everybody gains as
much as his greed for political
power will bring him at the total
loss OF his liberty. I do not know
whether Socialism or FaSclSm is the
greater evil. do know they are
not the American dream They have
become the worlds nightmare.
The President may deny that he
intends to travel into a collectivist
desert. But his policies are driving
the people there. And many of his
advisers glory in the progress al
ready made.
In another so days the New Deal
party will convene in this city,
where American liberty was first
proclaimed. After Christianity, that
was the greatest light which has
ever flashed over the human hori-
zon.
I trust those gentlemen will bare
their heads before Independence
Hall. Under the invisible presence
of the men who founded nation
that liberty might live, they should
apologize to the American people.
Instead they will produce splendi-
ferrous alibis. But the spirits of
washington. Jefferson, Hamilton,
Adams, and Franklin will Judge
their promises and their steward
ship. These spirits may we'll won
der whence came these men, that
they dare walk in such precincts.
The Republicans have not only to
shake off their forces, we have to
remove all abuses of liberty whether
they we're born before or since the
New Deal.
Let me say this: The whole of
economic argument, the whole of
statistical evidence, the whole social
argument becomes barren unless it
is tested in terms Of human beings.
This is a nation of men, women,
and children, not a nation of rail-
roads, machines. or land or economic
distractions. We must visualize it
as a nation of homes. Indeed most
problems of government are an en-
largement of the problems of every
household.
To restore liberty and progress
the Republican Party must furnish
the country program which
covers:
A restoration of morals in gov
eminent.
A revival of confidence and cour-
age in the destiny of America.
Real policies of economic and So
cial regeneration in place Of the
New Deal extravaganZas.
Realistic. drastic, and immediate
reforms.

Economic and Social Regeneration

Economic and Social Regeneration
These are but the first moves to
get these 100000 people back into
productive jobs, to make secure the
farmers livelihood and the ability
of business to expand it's pay rolls.
Beyond this, the Republican Party
must present policies of social and
economic regeneration.
The test of the welfare of the ma
ton is the way the average man
and woman must live, the condi-
tions under which they work, the
way they raise their children, the
way they conduct their government.
The concern of every decent man
and woman is to lift these stand
ards. The impulses to social well
fare must come from the human
heart, but its realization can come
only from the intellect.
America was the first nation to
question that the poor must be al
ways with us. But unless these
New Deal economic policies are re-
versed there will be only increased
