delivered today as permanent chair
man of the Republican National Con-
vention:
This convention will nominate q
man to lead new crusade crusade
to restore to the American people
their Constitution and their liberties
This is not a merely partisan con-
vention. The people weary of too
much partisanship. They call for
those who believe alike to stand to-
gether.
Let us here resolve to sink all diff
ferences. reconcile all opinions. mod
crate all ambitions and unite all
energies in the supreme task Of re-
storing the Government to the people.
This year the Republican party is not
contending against the Democratic
party as such. 1t offers to lead Amer
lea against the unconstitutional die
tatorship-yes, the arrogant individ-
ualism of Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Offer Sincerity, Truth.
Deceived and bewildered, the masses
look to us for an honest answer to
their question: Can We be sure that
We shall be safer, happier-we want oul
children-by returning the Republican
party to power?" II we give them
the bread of sincerity and truth they
will reward us with their trust. If We
give them the dead stone of meaning
less political phrases and empty prom
ises. they will abandon us to defeat
Thev call on us to turn our backs on
the past and to lead them to better
future. Republicans, We will win In
November If we prove to them that we
deserve to win.
For nearly four years America has
floundered in the grotesQue failures oi
the New Deal.
The institutions of our government
have been debauched by q greedy par
tiSanShip.
The living ideals of America, sancti.
fled by the blood Of patriots and hal
lowed by the allegiance Of generations
have been purposely warped ane
nodded to the spirit and form Of slier
political PHILOSOPHERS - philoSophie!
fundamentally in conflict with the as
pirations of this Nation and destruc'
tive of the very principles OF freedom
under law.
Safe Under G. o. p. Control
Four years ago l said to this con-
vention, The Nation has been safe
when the Republican party has beer
in control of the Government. 1t ha!
never been safe when Republicans
we're not on guard"
And oh! how the last four years
have driven home that truth to dis
mayed people
In these four years every home ha!
felt the heavy burden of the New
Deals planned extravaganza.
Every cent OF additional taxes
serves but to increase the reckless
power of the New Deal spoilers and
wasterS.
Every dollar added to our national
debt is a new burden upon the back
Of youth.
Already the New Deal has cost us
the progress and prosperity of a gen.
Grafton.
Let us here begin our march to
sanity and to safety.
When the victory is won we shall
give America a government high above
the plane Of party politics. Let us
make that ringing declaration at the
very outset.
We shall need in executive positions
the services of constitutional Demo-
Gratis and Republicans alike.
Need Energy and Ideals.
We shall need especially the energy
and the idealism of youth.
Youth-the clear-eyed, eager young
men and women OF Americas there
any thoughtful person within the
sound Of my voice whose heart does
not 60 out to them?
Where Is their hope?
To what can they look forward
The reply comes from the gloomy
sepulcher of new idealism-from the
head of its National Youth Admins
tration, Mr. Aubrey williams:
quote:
we know that O vast. overwhelm-
ing ma ajority OF the children born in
the last rs years will never rise above
a hand-to-mouth existence; that all
their steps, from the cradle to the
grave, will be dogged by poverty
sickness and neutrality-suspicious.
and intellectual honesty demand that
you tell your pupils that 70 per cent
of our people must live below the
standard of decency-that millions
now unemployed will never find jobs
again.
Thus, by the New Deals own sd-
mission, its entrenchment In Office
means the end Of youths opportunity
in America.
With all the power of burning
conviction we disavow that shameful
consuel of defeat.
Offer Jobs-NOt Dole.
To youth In the cities and towns we
say: You shall have jobs instead OF
the dole. For we shall not harass in
dustry. We shall encourage industry
to plan and expand in order that it
may create more jobs and produce
more wealth so that there may be
more to be distributed
To youth on the farms we say:
you shall have balance be-
tween the price Of the goods you sell
and the price Of the goods you buy
But there will be no swarm of med
dlers to boss you around and tell you
how to run your business"
To all youth we say: "YeH shall
not have laid upon your shoulders
crushing burden Of taxation. You
shall not see your savings and your
life Insurance policies made worthless
by mounting Government deficits and
the destruction of Government credit,
as happened in postwar Germany.
You shall not have the heavy hand
Of dictatorship laid upon your schools,
