VAST VOLUME OF

That's true. The people are SPEND
ing s per cent more money In the re-
tail stores now than they spent . year
ago. But let me tell you something
else that's also true.
The prices of things in the retail
stores are now per cent higher than
they were . year ago. Five per cent
more money spent. Nine per cent
more money required.
Is that the more abundant life?
It's the more abundant life stood on
its head. It's the more abundant life
reversed. It's exactly the opposite OF
what the New Dealers thought they
were doing.
That's the shriveling kind Of fruit
that you now are eating from the tree
OF the more abundant life. And why
does the fruit Shrivel? We Republi-
cans say that 1t Is precisely because
OF the deadly discouragement that the
New Deal has visited upon the effec-
tive enterprise OF this country.
Now we Republicans believe two
things about the people At large. We
believe that the people are practical.
But we also believe that the people
are idealistic.
Supreme Court.
Let me touch upon that point Of
idealism first. We Republicans were
told that the people would take no
interest in such an abstract problem
as the preservation Of the independ-
ence OF the Supreme Court. All our
Republican Senators, all our Republi-
can Representatives.. took the contrary
view. They held that the American
people would not 60 along with the

agriculture and a balance of power
between private enterprise as a whole
ana government rs q whole. The
enemy is domination. The method Of
nghting that enemy is the balance Of
power. This is the teaching of the
fathers OF our country. This is the
meaning Of the whole modern revolt
against the Middle Ages. This Is the
true revolution in the anna1r of man.
kind. And this is the cause to which
the Republican party adheres
And know that that cause cannot
lose. Party battles may be waged with
varying fortunes of success and de-
feat. The cause of the balance of
power against class nominations and
government nominations and personal
nominations cannot lose. 1t cannot
lose because the human spirit cannot
in the end be defeated. I should be
satisfied tonight il could have made
you think once more of the free hu-
man spirit itself and of the kind Of
world which that spirit, being free,
ought to have
And my only partisan final remark
would simply be that in my opinion
the party which most truly represents
that spirit is going to be the party Of
the future.

tended, would lead to newer and bet
ter regulations and Improvements of
our already excellent radio broadcast
ing industry. What happened to their
resolutions?
Killed by Democrats.
In the Senate the White resolution,
in spite of favorable report from the
Interstate Commerce Committee, was
stopped by the administration forces
in the Committee on Audit and Con-
troll. In the House the Wigglesworth
resolution was stopped by the admins
tration forces in the Rules Committee.
I could almost charge that the New
Dealers are not interested in making
private enterprise more effective. We
Republicans are. And let me impress
it upon you over and over again:
We believe that basically and gen.
orally there must be two things in
order to make private enterprise ef-
fective both for prosperity and for
liberty. One: There must be COM
petition in every fair and decent way.
Two: There must be public regulation
to eliminate unfair and unethical
practices. Anybody who tells you that
we Republicans do not support that
second part Of true liberty-the public
regulation part-does not know our
record and does not know our inten.
tions.
Now you may be surprised-some OF
you-to hear me talk about our in
tentions. That means talking about
our future. But some people say that
We have no future. They ought to
come around and consult us on that
point. We would like to give them our
reasons for feeling absolutely sure
that We have a future. The central
reason is that We represent a cause.
have already-in a aforementioned
that cause. l will mention it a little
more amply later on. Just now
want to say that we think We are
alive; and, so to speak. We are going
through all the motions.
In our headquarters here in WASH
ington we have been having 4 lot OF
meetings. These meet
ings have been very surprising and
indeed almost shocking to some OBJ
servers. You remember the good old
song about Mike McCarthys wake.
All the neighbors, you remember, had
gathered. They we're all engaged in
They were mourning with
much enthusiasm and with 4 great
deal OF noise. And then you remem-
Der. in that famous song, the grand
line: When the fun was at its height,

Very Much Alive.
You'll pardon us, but we think we
are just as alive as Mccarthy turned
out to be. And We think we are Just
as alive as the Democratic party always
has been after taking great many
more successive defeats than we ever

last year? Are they being produced
more abundantly? They have to be If
We are going to improve the condition
OF the mass OF Americans. They have
to be II We are going to improve the
lot Of the common man and of the
forgotten man. There is no way of
giving him more without producing
more. And what has happened to the
production Of consumers goods?
The latest available facts are from
July of last year to July of this year.
In July of last year the production Of
consumers goods stood at level which
the statisticians of the country called
81. BY July of this year it had gone
down to 80.
Is that a restoration of prosperity?
No. 1t is going backward. It is not
going forward.
Employment Down.
And what does it mean in employ
ment? What does it mean in pay
roll? 1t means what it cannot help
meaning. Ever since last April en-
ployment in the consumers goods in
dustries has been going down and the
pay roll in those industries has been
going down.
You simply cannot get the more
abundant life by having less produc-
ton. It means less work in factories.
1t means less pay roll going from the
factories to the homes It means less
consumption of the good things Of life
in the homes Of our people.
All! But the New Dealers say:
Look! The people are spending 5
per cent more money in the retail
stores now than they spent . year
ago.
And the New. Dealers are right.
Evening star., 1937-09-28

ident to dominate the court. They
held that the American people are in
favor Of the balance Of power between
the different branches of the Govern
ment and against domination by any
branch. And they were right. And
we Republicans all feel encouraged
because they were right. We are en-
couraged because We know now for
sure that the majority of the American
people believe, as the Republican party
believes, that our Government must
be free government and not a DOM
mated government.
That Is our first reason for encour-
agement. That Is our first reason
for saying to ourselves: I'VE know
that we are alive because we are in
harmony with the sentiments Of the
American people"
And our second reason for encour-
agement Is the reason that has led
me to give you . few statistics this
evening. The American people, be-
sides being an idealistic people, are q
practical people; and when they see
that = theory brings forth bad fruit,
they are going to be against that
theory. When they see that the theory
Of domination of enterprise by gov
ernment is giving them not 4 more
abundant life but less abundant life,
they will be against that domination.
That Is our second reason for being
as active in the reorganization OF our
party Is we are today.
Now hope that am taking this
view without a purely selfish self
interest. I know that there is some
thing bigger than the Republican
party. l know that the world would

have been obliged to take. And so in
our national headquarters here we
have recently been having these meet
ings representing the various interests
and activities Of the party.
In November we shall have Nation

committee. And that committee will
decide upon the project for having 4
kind Of new national gathering of
representatives Of the whole Repub-
lican party.
do not know what the decision of
the national committee on this point
may be. The project was not initiated
by any one man. 1t is cupported by
many men and many elements. The
idea behind it is that the Republican
party should declare its principles and
define Its cause in terms suggested by
our present national perplexities and
dangers.
1t Is not for me to try to do the
work Of that proposed national gath
ering. But think could claim that
its voice would be heard with a new
attentiveness now by the public in
general And why? Why, because
the actual fruits Of New Deal policies
are now beginning to be apparent.
In 1882 we said what those fruits
would be. In 1885 We said what
they would be. But We were then in
some degree merely forecasting. Now
we can point to the fruits themselves
as the tree begins finally and fully to
produce them.
Going Backward.
Will you join with me In looking
at some Of these fruits7 The tree
was called-by the people who planted
1.-THE more abundant life" The
name was fine. The purpose was fine.
But the proof is the fruits. Let's look
at them. And now I'm not going to
give you just arguments. I'm going
to give you ascertained and recognized
facts. You could find them for your
selves in Government publications or
in the publications OF our private re-
search institutions or In the pages
Of our commercial and financial Pc
riodicals.
The important thing about you,
from the economic standpoint, is that
you are consumer. Everybody Is a
consumer. AS producers We do many
different things. AS producers we have
many different conflicting interests.
But as consumers we are all alike. As
consumers We want to increase the
total volume Of what We buy and what
we enjoy. Al consumers we represent
the general national interest and we
do indeed want the more abundant
life.
Now the goods which are produced
to be sold to you and your family in
your home are called consumers goods.

still 80 on If the Republican party, Is
q party, should disappear. hope
that am thinking this evening not so
much about the Republican party as
about the cause which the Republican
party at the moment Is struggling to
represent.
Cannot Lose.
That cause, I say to you, Is the
downfall Of domination Of every sort.
1t Is the downfall Of domination by
one branch Of the Government over
any other branch. It is the downfall
OF domination by any one element in
our economic life over any other ele-
ment. 1t is the downfall of domina-
ton by capital over labor or by labor
over capital. 1t is the downfall Of
domination by industry over agri-
culture or by agriculture over industry.
1t is the downfall OF domination by
private enterprise over government or
by government over private enterprise.
This cause began in the world only
= few hundred years ago. Till that
time men had lived for millions of
years under nominations OF every con-
ceivable sort, economic and social and
political. by monopolies and by privi-
legged classes and by personal dictators.
Then began the greatest of human re-
volts, the revolt against Nominations.
1t produced in time the men who
made this Republic. They established
In our Government the principle of
balance Of power between the different
branches Of the Government. This
was to avoid domination. We SINH
