MARION DAVIES
RADIO GUEST

WOOD, June II.
Marion Davies, outstanding screen
star, will be Louella o. Parsons
guest of honor on the Hollywood
Hotel program tomorrow night
over the CHS network.
Miss Davies will present ex-
cerpts from her latest Warner
Brothers picture, Hearts Di'
vided." This will be her second
appearance on this program, and
her return is by demand of her
fans all over the country. With
Miss Davies will be Dick Powell,
who will play the same role on
the air that he played in Miss
Davies picture.
The story of Hearts Divided
is the colorful romance of Betsy
Patterson, American aristocrat and
beauty, and Jerome Bonapart, the
younger brother of Napoleon.
In compliment to Miss Davies,
William Bacher has arranged a
series of French songs and music
which will be sung by Frances
Langford, Igor CORN and Jean
Dickinson and played by Ray
mond Paige'S orchestra.

Road to Chaos

To some people it appears to
be a strange interlude in Ameri-
can history in that it has n.
philosophy, that it is sheer OPP
portuniSm, that it is middle
of a spoils system, of emotional
economics, of reckless adventure,
of unctuous claims to a mo-
nopoly of human sympathieS, OF
greed for power, of desire for
popular acclaim and an aSrira-
ton to make the front pages OF
the newspapers
That is the most charitable
view.
To most people it appears to
be q cold-blooded attempt by
Starry-eyed boys to infect the
American people with a mixture
of European ideas, favored with
our native prediction to get
something for nothing.
You can choose either one
you like best. But the first is
the road to chaos which leads
to the second. Both of these
roads lead over the same grim
precipice that is the Gripping
and possibly the destruction Of
the freedom Of men.
Which of those interpretations
is accurate is even disputed by
alumni of the New Deal who
have graduated for conscience's
sake or have graduated by re-
quest.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-06-11


In this room rests the great
est responsibility that has come
to =. body of Americans in three
generations. In the lesser sense
this is a convention of a great
political party. But in the larger
sense it is a convention OF
Americans to determine the fate
of those ideals for which this
nation was founded. That far
tranScends all partiSanShip.
There are elemental currents
which make or break the fate
of nations. There is a moral
purpose in the universe. Those
forces which affect the vitality
and the soul of people will
control its deStinieS.
The sum of years Of public
service in these currents is the
overwhelming convic tion Of
their tranScendant Importance
over the more transitory even
though difficult issues Of ma
tional life.
I have given about four years
to research into the New Deal,
trying to determine what its ul-
innate detectives were, what sort
Of a system it is imposing on this
NO11ptry
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-06-11
Moral Violations

At least it has enabled the
New Deal to take a few hundred
thousand earnest party workers
to the promised land. 1t takes
the rest Of us for a ride into
the wilderness of unemployment.
Can democracy stand the
strain Of Mother Hubbard eco
nomics for long?
Any examination of the eco
nomic muddle of the past three
years shows the constant threat
of price fixing, restriction of
production and drive against
small business. That is the soul
of monopoly. That has main
tanned from the MIRA to the last
tax bill. These are old tricks
in new disguise which put
shackles upon the freedom Of
men.
In desperate jumping from
one muddle to another we have
seen repeated violation of morals
and honor in government. Do
I need recall the reputation of
obligations, the clipping of the
coin, the violation of trust to
guard the Constitution and the
coercion of the voter? When the
standards of honor and morals
fail in government they fail in
the people.
There are some moral laws
written in a great book. Over
all there is the gospel of broth
erhood. For the first time in
the history of America we have
heard the gospel of class hatred
preached from the White House.
That is human poison far more
deadly than fear. Every reader
of the history of democracy
knows that is the final rock
upon which all democracleS
have been wrecked.
There is the suggestion in the
gospels that it is the meek who
will inherit the earth. The New
Deal will have little inheritance.
There are recommendations as
to righteousness for righteous
ness sake only. I will not estab-
crate that.
If all this is the theory and
practice of muddle where has
it brought us, even now? We
have spent Is billion dollars
more than the last Republican
administration. We have a debt
10 billions greater than even the
great war debt. After three
years we still have the same
number of unemployed that we
had at the election of NOvem-
Der, 1882.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-06-11
Prayer for Court

But at this point this parallel
with Europe halts-at least for
the present. The American peo-
pie should thank Almighty God
for the Constitution and the
Supreme Court. They should
be grateful to a courageous
press.
You might contemplate what
would have happened if Mr..
Roosevelt could have appointed
enough Supreme Court Justices
in the first year of his Admins
tratiOn. Suppose these New Deal
acts had remained upon the stat
ute books. We would have been
a regimented people. Have you
any assurance that he will not
have the appointments if he is
reelected?
The succeeding stages of VIC
lence and outrage by which Eu-
ropean despetiSms have crushed
all liberalismS and freedom have
filled our headlines for years.
But what comes next in the
United States? Have the New
Dealers dropped their ideas of
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-06-11
Regenerate Freedom

The Republican party must be
a party that accepts the chal-
LANCE of each new day. The last
word in human accomplishment
has not been spoken. The last
step in human progress has not
been made. We welcome change
when it will produce a fairer,
more just and satisfying civilza-
ton. But change which destroys
the safeguards of free men and
women are only apples of Sodom.
Great calamities have come to
the whole world. These forces
have reached into every calling
and every cottage. They have
brought tragedy and suffering
to millions of firesides. I have
great sympathy for those who
honestly reach for short cuts to
the immensely of our problems.
While design of the structure of
betterment for the common man
must be inspired by the human
heart, it can only be achieved
by the intellect. It can only be
builded by using the mold of
justice, by laying brick upon
brick from the materials of sci
entific research; by the pain
stalking sitting of truth from the
collection of fact and experience.
Any other mold is distorted: any

Liberty Vital

Throughout the centuries of
history, mans vigil and his
quest has been to free. For
this the best and bravest Of
earth have fought and died.
To embody human liberty in
workable government, America
was born. Shall we keep that
faith? Must we condemn the
unborn generations to fight
again and to die for the right
to be free?
There are some principles
that cannot be compromised.
Either we shall have a society
based upon ordered liberty and
the initiative of the individual,
or we shall have a planned So
ciety that means dictation no
matter what you call it or who
does it. There is no halfway
ground. They cannot be mixed.
Government must either release
the powers of the individual for
honest achievement or the very
forces it creates will drive it in
exorably to lay its paralyzing
hand more and more heavily
upon individual effort.
Less than 20 years ago we &C.
copied those ideals as the air we
breathed. We fought a great
war for their protection. We
took upon ourselves obligations
of billions. We buried our sons
in foreign soil. But in this score
of years we have seen the adj
vance of collectivism and its in
evitsble tyranny in more than
half the civilized world. In this
laundering era of world crisis
distracted America stands con-
fused and uncertain.
The Wing party temporized,
compromised upon the issue of
slavery for the black man. That

Rise of DictatOrS

In Central Europe the march
of Socialist or Fascist dictator
ships and their destruction of
liberty did not set out with guns
and armies. DictatorS began
their ascent to the seats of
power through the elections
provided by liberal institutions.
Their weapons were promise
and hate. They offered the
mirage of Utopia to those in
distress. They flung the poison
of class hatred. They may not
have manned the bodies of men,
but they MANNED their souls.
The 1892 campaign was a
pretty good imitation of this
first stage of European tactics.
They may recall the promises
of the abundant life, the prop
uganda of hate.
Once seated in office the first
demand of the European des-
potisms was for power and &C.
ton. Legislatures were told
they "muSt" delegate their au-
thorities. Their free debate was
suppressed. The powers de-
manded are always the same
pattern. They all adopted
planned economy. They regi-
mented industry and agricul-
ture. They put the government
into business. They engaged in
gigantic government expendi-
lures. They created vast Or
CARNATIONS of spoils henchmen
and subsidized dependents. They
corrupted currency and credit.
They drugged the thinking of
the people with propaganda at
the peoples expense.
If there are any items in this
stage in the march of European
.collectivism that the New Deal
has not initiated it must have
been an oversight.
