NEW YORK, May 20. (UP).-
! Sneakers at the 18th general
meeting of the United States Iron
and Steel Institute last night de-
nounced the New Deal as an at
tempt to destroy the rights of
states and individual citizens and
to extend political control to many
major phases of the economic and
personal life of the nation,
The speakers included Myron
C. Taylor, chairman of the U. S.
Steel Corp; Hugh Morrow, presi-
dent of Sloss-Sheffield Steel and
Iron Co., and DR.. Neil Carothers,
dean of the College Of Business
Administration, Lehigh university.
Morrow said the New Deal is an
effort to change the social, civic
and political order of the nation.
"Weird and fantastic theorists"
he said, propose to level off
every head that rises above the
average, -
He saw the United States as a
battle-ground between reason and
hystcria,; in a desperate conflict
between public opinion and publ
emotion. .......
He defended the doctrine of
rugged individualism and the su-
preme court, which, he said, "has

this includes telegrams). If the
people of Russia had possessed
and exercised that right, there
woulC have been no Stain. There
would have been no Hitler in Ger
many, no Mussolini in Italy"
DR.. Carothers saw the New
Deal as government by slogans
instead of a government by eco
nomic principles" =
He denounced the assertion that
the. depression was caused by a
failure of the American economic
system. t'It was due to a World
war that are the heart out of the
worlds capital, destroyed the
WORLDS trade and demoralized the
worlds currency" he"said.
The American system has done
more in the past SO years to solve
the world problem of. poverty and
insecurity than any other system
ever conceived. the economist said.

tativcs in the Cleveland conven-
ton. ..-,-.,-. ..9
"Somc of Us shall be interested
to know where they throw their
influence" Borah commented.
| Landon. leading candidate for
the nomination, is an independent
oil man. Borah attacked the po-
litical activity of oil men in a
statement earlier in the campaign.
Renewing his threat of a bolt
from the G. o. P. if it fails to
curb the control of monopoly,
Borah made these platform sug-
gcstiOns:
l. Peace: "The nearest approach
Ito a practical guarantee of peace
for the people of this country is
to remain wholly aloof from any
and all foreign controversies or
political commitments"
2. The Constitution: "NO intel
ligent and effective presentation
of the problems of maintaining
our free institutions" can be pre-
sented in this campaign without
accompanying proposals which
will relieve the average citizen OF
his personal economic problems.
Monopoly: THE high place in
the councils of the party which
corporate and monopolistic inter-
ests have long occupied is known
to all the world....In the name of
the people and in the name of the
party. the time is ripe for an &C
counting and a dissolution of the |
partnership.
Borah devoted most of his time
to the last plank. He attacked by |
name four influential Republican
leaders-Charles D. Hilles of New |
York, J. Henry Roraback of Con-
nccticut. He'd Schorr of Illinois,
and Walter F. Brown of Ohio
accusing them of being linked
with powerful financial and cor
porate interests.
Borah said farmers, lndepen-
dent business men and others adj !
nit them are not satisfied with
certain details of the New Deal
but added: ave are not going
back" The voters, he said, no
longer accept the political or eco
nomic theories of the dominating
influences of the G. o. P.
$50 far as | am personally con-
ccrned. there is nothing the con-
vention may do, no action it may
take. which will leave its impress
sion upon me one hour after it

he said. Il
