Democratic Paper Declares 1t Is Unable to AdYo.

in legislating to regulate security mar
kets and holding companies. the In
nocent were jeopardized in pursuit
Of the guilty.
In short, there has been little Of
an economic character in the admin
istration that the Sun has been able
whole-heartedly to support, save the
work of the step-child Of the admin
istration, Cordell Hull.
But opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt
does not mean support of Hooverism
or of Old Guardism. In 1888 some
of our readers seemed to be unable
to understand how we could oppose
Mr.. Roosevelt's hastily contrived
schemes Of planned economy without
indorsing the course of the Harding
Coolidge Hoover regime. They were
wrong then in thinking there was
no other alternative, and they will
be wrong now If they think there
is no alternative. We think this can
be shown.
The Sun stands for competitive cap
italism. It is the system which most
effectively uproots the UNIT, the un-
worthy, the lazy. It is the system
which gives place to the vigorous, the
competent. the purposeful. 1t is the
system which constantly enlarges
achievement. 1t is the system which
carries chronological advance to its
rational conclusion of lower prices
and increased mass consumption.
Even as distorted in recent periods
1t has produced in this country q
degree of well-being which has never
been equaled, and in that well-being
all classes of men have shared. In
the worst Of depressions our store of
resources has been such that we have
been able to extend relief on a scale
probably without precedent.
This system Is not inconsistent with
social responsibility. On the contrary,
we have set the pace for the world in
public education ana in philanthropy.
Within this system modern ii:stru-
ments for the relief of the unfortu-
nate and the handicapped have been
established and can be expanded.
Within this system labor may crgan-
ize and exercise its rights to bargain
collectively. Progressively wise distri-
button of wealth need rot be an in
soluble problem, if we but persist in
the policy which produces an abun-
dant store of wealth to distribute
among the people.
This system of competition is, more
over. the protection of political liberty.
1t is the best protection for the ordi-
nary citizen, the working man. In
1888 The Sun contended that planned
economy could not be effectual with
out such control over individuals as
would negative liberty. It was not long
before N. r. A. made that fact ap-
parent. Further proof Is piled up each

continue to appear with demands for
subsidy In compensation for disad-
vantages under which they labor be-
by other groups with the Federal
Governments connivance.
Does Gov. Landon believe any Of
this? And does he believe that the
fundamental. policy to which the Gov
ernment should commit itself Is
genuine competitive system, with such
liberal adjustments in lower tariff
policies, in debt policies, in credit
policies, in currency stabilization pol
icies, in law-enforcement policies and
in labor policies as will promote the
kind Of competition that Is healthy
and real?
In the Suns opinion, there Is rea-
son to believe that he does. His brief
confession Of faith at his birthplace
pointed in that direction and there
have been hints and indications in
other speeches, as in certain Of his
acts before he became a candidate.
But the fact remains that he has not
taken position in terms that COM
NIT him or his party. He has not
taken a position in terms that would
form the public support he will need
If, being elected, he attempted to re-
verse the whole system Of restraints
on trade-as practiced by Hoover or
as practiced by Roosevelt-and sought
to release the constructive energies of
the free competitive system at home
and abroad. Gov. Landon has not
spoken In terms that bind him. It is
still possible for him to be another
Roosevelt or another Hoover and to
eat very few of his words.
And, in the failure thus far to speak
Evening star., 1936-09-11

IN unequivocal terms in favor of
return to economic liberalism, he not
only has failed to give the leadership
that Is required in domestic affairs.
He also has failed to give the leader
ship that is required in our foreign
relations. The accumulating threats
Of general war In Europe are q men
ace to our well-being. General war
In Europe will create vast popular
demand for economic withdrawal to
assure safety against military involve
ment. The cost Of economic with
drawal would be staggering. There
fore, it is the part Of self-interest to
help restore order in Europe. But
preaching will not help. Only by
liberal economic policies, the freeing
OF trade and Of finance and the re-
lieving Of economic tensions, can we
help Europe and guard ourselves.
Shall we have social responsibility?
An emphatic yes. Shall we have old
age pensions? Yes. Shall we have
unemployment insurance? Yes. Shall
We guard the helpless, the unfortu-
nate, the handicapped? Yes. But, as
the sure foundation of it all, let us
restore and preserve the system which
produces In abundance the wealth
with which we support both the for
tunate and the unfortunate.
If Gov. Landon speaks in clear and
bold terms. facing specific problems
and taking his stand unequivocally
on the side Of this true economic lib
eralism. the Sun will support him, no
matter what his prospects may be.
II he does not speak in clear terms,

for ideas that 1t believes to be sound

day in the planned economies, Of the
Right and of the Left, in Europe.
When government controls ones prop
erty, government controls ones vote.
It Is the economic freedom of compe-
tition which guards political freedom.
It Is the economic freedom Of competi-
ton which gives the ordinary man his
best defense against coercion.
Holding these views, It Is no more
possible for The Sun to give its support
to Hooverism or to Old Guardism than
to give support to Rooseveltism. The
period between 1920 and 1892 was q
period in which private restraint upon
competition became the rule and was
fostered by the Government. Private
control Of production and private fix
ing Of prices spread with scarcely a
gesture of disapproval by the Govern
ment. On the contrary, tariff policies,
debt policies, credit policies and law
enforcement policies supported the
manipulators.
There Is truth in the statement
made by Newton D. Baker, Lewis w.
Douglas and Leo Wolman that Mr..
Roosevelt's efforts to regulate indus
try were but an extension of the poll
cies Of the Harding Coolidge Hoover
regime. The latter fostered monopo-
lies at the expense of competitive
capitalism, even while protesting to
be the guardian angel Of capitalism.
Mr.. Roosevelt, instead Of attacking
the conditions he found, as his plat
form directed, accepted them, and at
tempted to regulate them from WASH
ington behind the alluring facade of
planned economy.
This question now presents itself:
Where does Gov. Landon stand? Does
he propose merely to take over what
Is left of the New Deal and to ad-
minister it more economically? Does
he propose to revert to Hooverism? Or
does he stand for genuinely free com.
petition?
1t can be argued, with some effec-
tiveness, that If he stands merely for
economical administration Of the New
Deal, something would be gained by
his election. If we are to go on with q
program in which a Corden Hull, who
understands and serves the competi-
tive system, is to be treated as a lonely
stepchild, while the administration
plays with schemes for direct or in
direct control of our daily affairs and
pays subsidies in all directions, then
1t would be something to have a frugal,
careful man in the White House. But
we should recognize that his frugali-
ties would be in pennies, not In dol.
lars. The paternalistic bounty system
! feeds upon itself, as the farm bounties
have shown.
There is, in brief, little ground for
| enthusiasm over merely frugal
Roosevelt. For acceptance of such an
alternative means acceptance of the
essential fact of Rooseveltism and lin
its debate to shades of emphasis and
| administration. No effectual steps
could be looked for to break down re-

Following is the text Of the edi-
torial in the Baltimore Sun, published
today, stating les position on Roose-
yelt's candidacy for reelection:
Within so days the people must
make their choice in the presidential
election. 1t is therefore incumbent
upon those who undertake to address
themselves to public opinion to give
expression to their views. The Sun
now states that in this campaign it
is unable to advocate the reelection
of President Roosevelt.
This statement is made with regret.
We remember MIR. Roosevelt's courage
in the black days of March. 1888.
We respect his devotion to the cause
of the unfortunate. We believe he
has created in many citizens a new
sense of civic duty. We admire him
for the enemies he has made among
pirates Of high finance. Standing at
the crossroads and looking back over
three years, memories Of gallantry
arise in the mind and they make
criticism an unpleasant task. But
we cannot close our eyes to what we
conceive to have been fundamental
errors in Mr.. Roosevelt's policies.
Economic Concepts Assailed.
In April, 1888, Mr.. Roosevelt began
to turn away from the spirit and to
a large extent the letter Of his plat
form and from the spirit of his first
acts as President. He inaugurated
the New Deal and he based it upon
vaguely formed and specifically con-
sidered ideas of planned economy
These ideas were directed toward ma
tionalistic limitation of economic life
and toward overriding Federal con-
troll of economic life within this Ma
ton. The Sun was definitely op-
posed to the concept and to the
details.
We opposed the Presidents gold
policy, which was a part of the con-
cept, and We think his later caution
proved the wisdom of opposition. VIZ
opposed the silver policy. We opposed
the price-fxing, production controlling
national recovery act. We opposed
A. A. A. and its plowing under Of fooc
products. We protested the truculen
message with which Mr.. Roosevelt II
July, 1888, wrecked the World Eco
nomic Conference.
Moreover, in those special under
takings in which Mr.. Roosevelt has
been right in purpose. 1t has been
necessary to criticize practice. Relief

Two Rescued Alive
From Caved-in Mine
Two Other Men and Pony Killed
Almost at Once by
Strong Gas

Two coal miners one of them APP
parently little the worse for his
three-day ordeal-were rescued alive
late Saturday, in Montana, from a
gas-filled tunnel in which four were
imprisoned by mine collapse Tues
day afternoon, but death had taken
their companions.
''Here I am, boys, I can take it. "
cried 5O-year-old A. w. Mccain, old
est of the entombed miners, as weary
rescue workers wormed their way
through a debris-packed mine shaft
into the tunnel prison of the quartet.
His living companion, Demmer
Sexton, co-owner of the mine, was
sprawled unconscious at his feet.
The other, Edward Stoner, Jr., 26,
and George T. Cameron, 27-year-old
negro, were huddled in death at the
rear of the 200-foot tunnel-victims
of deadly white damp.
Relays of rescue crews had torn
at the blocked mine shaft since
Tuesday when suddenly fire swept
the mine superstructure, collapsed
the shaft and trapped the four min
ers in their subterranean prison.
Mccain sat upon the stretcher and
waved to the crowd.
II had only one worry" he told
relieved relatives who accompanied
the ambulance to the hospital.
Every day I was afraid the rescue
workers would become discouraged
and give up their task.
Several times when I crawled to
the entrance of the shaft could not
hear the fan blowing air into the
tunnel.
''Those hours were terrible.
81 trembled and prayed to God
