vided the great bill Of rights to
safeguard the liberties of the
people.
And the Constitution has
worked as our forefathers plan
ned. 1t was the most liberal plan
of government in the world when
it was adopted. 1t still is, because
it is a living thing that can grow
and change with the changing
needs of the country, the chang
ing thought of the country, the
changing desires of the country.
Under its protection our coun.
try has gone forward to cons
family higher social and economic
standards. It will continue to do
so without any fundamental
change in our American form of
government.
Why do I recall this history?
Because it bears directly on the
tremendous issue that confronts
us in this campaign. Because the
The Washington times., 1936-10-26

threat to constitutional govern
ment that now menaces our coun.
try in the New Deal is a threat as
well to the American way of life
on which our present and future
welfare depends. Because it is the
essence of the New Deal that the
Constitution must go in order to
give men in Washington the
power to make America over; to
destroy the American way of life
and establish a foreign way of
life in its place.
Let us not deceive ourselves.
The President may not see where
his policies are leading, but the
men in the intimate circle Of his
advisers see perfectly well where
he must come out.
They have the pattern of their
planned economy before them.
What at first seemed a confused
jig-saW puzzle to those outside of
The Washington times., 1936-10-26

founding fathers worked out at
Philadelphia; government that
gave free scope to the energies
of the people. But it enabled them
to take collective action against
all foes abroad and all exploiters
at home.
1t recognized that the govern
ment to be set up in the federal
city would be too remote to man
age many of the detailed affairs
of a vast and diversified country.
So it sharply limited federal pow.
ers and reserved all other powers
to the states and to the people.
Constitution Liberal
For protection against tyranny
it set up the three independent

ing shape in the last three years.
Our homes, our communities, our
jobs and our businesses are to be
directed from Washington. The
profit motive is to be eliminated.
Business as we know it is to dis
appear.
Observe how one piece after an
other of the jig-saw puzzle is
moved into place. Here is a piece
labeled MIRA" It tells men how
their businesses must be run. Here
is another piece labeled "AAA."
1t tells farmers what they shall
plant and limits the food produc-
ton of the nation. Here is another
piece, the latest tax measure, that
will hinder business institutions
from building up reserves to see
them through another repression
and that in the event of such a
depression will force them into
The Washington times., 1936-10-26

bankruptcy or into the hands Of
the Government.
Raps Blank Checks
And here another piece, one
huge blank check after another,
given by a rubber-stamp Congress
to an all-powerful President, which
if continued will make Congress a
mere arm of the Executive, and
which will eventually create the
misery, the poverty, the hopeless.
ness out of which relationships
arise.
Yes, the pattern is gradually be-
coming clearer. Shall we give four
years more to the men who are
working on this foreign pattern?
Shall we give them what they
will construe as a mandate to
finish the job? Or shall we vote
to return to the American system
under the American Constitution?
I know what your answer Will

down, he says we Republicans are
telling bedtime stories. I have
asked him and asked repeatedly,
does he intend, if rejected, to re-
vive the MIRA and the AAA which
the Supreme Court has declared
to be contrary to our American
form of Government? So far his
reply has been long, loud silence.
Plea for FrankneSs
There can be an honest differ
ence of opinion as to whether the
proposals of the Administration
for one-man Government holds the
solution of our social and eco
nomic difference of opinion on
this; the Presidents theory of
Government should be presented
frankly to the people at the polls.
He has no right to ask for votes
without telling the people his in
tentions. Frankness in Govern
ment is just as vital as truth in
securities.
Repeatedly I have stated my
position with all the force at my
command: am for the preserva-
ton of the American Constitution
and the American system of free
enterprise. I link constitutional
Government with the American
system of free enterprise because
they belong together.
Every Government is adapted to
the sort of social system the people
have built up and demand. After
all, there can be only two systems
of Government; the one where
the Government is the master of
the people, and the other where it
is the servant Of the people. May
I say again this is the real issue
in this campaign.
Hits Dictatorship
In certain countries the people
are accustomed to being directed
from above; they would be lost
if they were on their own. So they
get the kind of Government that
gives them direction, that tells
them what to do, that regiments
their daily lives. That kind OF
Government is dictatorship. Do
we want that here? There are
some who do.
Listen to what a high official
of this Administration has to say:
planning will necessarily be-
come a function of the Federal
Government. Either taht or the
planning agency will superSede
that Government. Business will
logically be required to diSap-
pear. This is not an OverState-
ment of the fact for emphasis.
It is literally meant.
planning implies guidance
as to capital uses. This would
limit entrance into or expan-
sion of operations. Planning
also implies adjustment of pro-
ductiOn to consumption. New
industries will not just happen
as the automobile industry did.
They will have to be fOreseen,
to be argued for. The future is
becoming visible in Russia. The
new kind of economic ma
chinery we have in prospect
cannot function in our present
economy"
Do you want the kind Of die
tatorship this New Deal leader
advocates?
Freedom Valued
The builders of the American
system were not of this breed.
They valued freedom; freedom to
worship God in their own way,
freedom to speak as they pleased,
freedom to write as they pleased,
freedom to live their daily lives
as they pleased so long as they
did not infringe the right of
others. They did not want any
government to tell them how to
manage their affairs. They
wanted the sort of constitutional
government best adapted to the
way of life they had already
established.
This sort of government the
The Washington times., 1936-10-26

, that it went into a slump after
the New Deal measures became
operative, and became really bet
ter only when the Supreme Court
of the United States knocked off
some of its shackles by holding
the MIRA unconstitutional.
Waste Pointed Out
They talk of recovery and they
hope the country will forget that
in spite of improvement eleven
million persons are still unem-
ployed and twenty million are still
on the relief rolls.
So I might go on enumerating
New Deal policies, every one of
which would be a major issue in
any ordinary campaign. Waste
and extravaganza in government.

ice. The alliance with corrupt
city machines.
The extending of Farley meth
DDS throughout the States with
the WPA, and finally, the illegal
use of your money, the taxpayers
money, for propaganda to build
up class hatred and entrench the
New Deal in power.
But for the moment we can put
all these issues aside and turn to
what said at the beginning is
the overwhelming issue in this
campaign-the preservation of
constitutional government and the
American way of life.
Strange Ideals
On the one side, on the side of
the New Deal, we find a strange
new group. It's adherents believe
that the principles upon which
the nation was founded and has
grown great, no longer can
serve us.
They believe in an all-powerful
executive and the Subservience of
Congress and the courts to his
will. They believe in the destruc-
ton of State rights and of home
rule. They believe in the con-
centration of political and eco
nomic authority in the White
House in washington.
And where does this lead? Let
them tell us where it leads. On
page % of the Democratic Digest,
an official publication of the So
called Democratic National Com
mittee, for March, 1886, we find
these words:
"The original guillOtine which
executed Louis XVI, loyal
friend of the American colonies
when they needed a friend, was
sold in France on st. Valen-
tines Day for $4,000.
with American liberties at
stake, it might not be inap-
propriate to buy this guillOtine
and set it up in front of the
new judicial temple which
frowns across the park that
separates it from the Capitol"
This is their position, stated in
their own official document. Now
let us see who is on the other
side.
Betrayal Claimed
On the other side, supporting
your cause. stand those who be-
lieve in the American form OF
Government. In addition to Re-
publicans we find the Democratic
nominee for the presidency in 1924
and the Democratic nominee for
the presidency in 1928, and fol-
lowing them we find millions of
Democratic men and women of
courage and integrity who all their
lies have supported the principles
of jefferson, Cleveland and Will
son.
These people are Americans be-
fore they are partisans. They rec
ognize that this strange New Deal
has betrayed the principles of the
Democratic Party and Of the
American form of Government.
In the last analysis, that is the
question upon which you will cast
your ballots on November third.
But when you ask Mr.. Roosevelt
about this and try to pin him

N.N.SJ.-TeTt of Governor Alfred
M. Landon'S address here today
toILotOS:
In essence this campaign boils
down to one issue. Do you be-
lieve in the fundamental New
Deal policies? Do you believe in
a program that is directed toward
undermining constitutional gov.
eminent and the American way Of
life? AS the campaign progresses
the Administration strategy has
become plain. You must have OBJ
served it.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his SpokeS-
men are trying to confine atten-
ton to the first three or four
months of his Administration; the
first three or four months before
the New Deal started on his un-
trodden paths. Beyond that they
speak only of relief and recovery.
The rest of the major issues de-
Veloped under the New Deal they
deliberately evade. They do none
of the usual pointing with pride.
They ask for another four years
of power because back in 1888 for
a few weeks they remembered
their platform pledges. They hope
the country will forget how those
pledges were then thrown out OF
the window.
Humanitarian Motives
They ask for another mandate
because of their warm hearts and
humanitarian instincts. AS if they,
and they alone, possess humani-
tartan instincts, and they alone
would keep our fellow Americans
from starving. They hope the
country will forget what every
community knows-the waste and
extravaganza and the humiliating
political coercion involved in the
handling of relief.
In their platform this year, as
in their platform four years ago,
they denounce monopoly and prom
Use to enforce the antitrust laws.
They hope the country will for
get that in their great recovery
measure, the NRA, they fostered
monopoly and suspended the anti
trust laws. They talk Of preServ-
ing American business. They hope
the country will forget the prom
Use of a breathing spell that was
broken when Congress met last
January and that was remembered
again only when the election
doomed ahead.
They profess their concern in
the prosperity of the little fellow.
They hope the country will forget
what millstones they hung about
the little fellows neck in the NRA,
the invisible taxes, and in the
latest tax act which will hold back
the growth of small concerns by
penalizing the use of earnings for
expansion.
Budget Promises
They tell us a balanced budget
is on the way. They hope the
country will forget that six times
in the past four years the Presi-
dent has promised to balance the
budget and only last week he
promised the seventh time. They
tell us they have made our saw
ings safe.
They hope the country will for
get that their continued squander-
ing threatens to destroy the value
of all savings. They dwell on so
cial security legislation. They
hope the country will forget that
this measure is a gross betrayal
Of social security.
They give lip service to the
American form of government.
They hope the country will forget
that nine out of the eleven major
statutes enacted by their admin
istrator have been held unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court.
They boast that business is better.
They hope the country will forget

TRY THIS way TO
QUICKLY Relieve
ECZEMA ITCHING

If your skin is broken out with
"fery" or weeping" eczema, you
want to relieve the intolerable itch
ing and burning as quickly as pos
sible. Resinol Ointment does this
and also combats the irritation
caused by eczema-its oily base be-
ing ideal for penetrating the outer
layers of the skin and securing
deeper action.
Wash the affected parts with
warm water and Resinol Soap. 1t
is especially suited to tender skin
soaps containing too much alkah
NAV irritate. After washing off
scales and crusts, pat dry with a
soft cloth. Do not rub.
Apply a thin layer Of Resinol
Ointment, letting it remain for sew
eral hours. Apply again literally at
bedtime leaving on all night. The
longer Resinol is in contact with
the skin, the more good it does.

NEW YORK, Nov. II Q.N.SO
american wages"-w ages en-
abling the worker to save some
thing out of his pay envelope
will be one of the salient features
of the new NRA legislation which
Representative William I. Sirovlch,
of New York, predicts as certain
to be enacted in the not distant
future.
Minimum wages-definitely set
by laW-and maximum hours, also
definitely set, are two of the four
fundamental principles whi c h
Sirovich believes should be the
bases for the projected new NRA
legislation. The other two are
abolition of child labor and the
right of collective bargaining.
Sees Legal Minimum
In an exclusive interview today
Sirovich predicted that Congress
will establish a definite minimum
wage level for American workers,
below which it will be illegal for
any employer to offer. He also
predicted (without forecaSting the
time) a further reduction in work
ing hours from the present "A
hour to 48-hour week, adding:
81 think the 3O.hOur week is
coming. 1t will relieve the un-
employment problem which is
plaguing the nation"
Sirovich divided the wage situa-
ton into three categorieS:
l. starvation wages, which are
not enough to keep body and
soul together"
2. Living wages, which are just
enough to meet the bare neces-
sites of life."
3. American wages-Or saw
ing wages"
He asserted:
II would like to see the Amer
ican wages established as the
minimum wage for the country
in the new NRA legislation.
This wage would enable the
worker in the days of compare
tive affluence to save something
for the days of adversely.
STANDARDS LOW
"Our present minimum wage
standards are so low there isn't
anything left for the people
after they have bought the ne
cesSitieS of life. To prevent the
exploitation of labor we should
establish q definite minimum
wage below which no captain
of industry or employer any
where in the country would be
allowed to pay"
Sirovich contended that in order
to create more jobs the maximum
hours for workers will have to be
cut down.
Sirovich pointed out the old
NRA gave workers the right to
hold secret meetings to determine
who should represent them in col,
lective bargaining. He said work,
ers should have the right to choose
their own spokesmen without in
reference.
