Of the great economic middle class are
the greatest catastrophe which can
come to the one-third Of underclad,
underhoused, underfed. Their re-
demption must come by preserving the
two-thirds, not by dragging them
down. In all his long years Santa
Claus never increased the standard OF
living of nation. =
Good Intentions.
Our people want jobs. They want a
lust return for their labor. They want
opportunity to rise in their jobs.
They want security on the job. They
want security from want in old age.
They want collective bargaining by
labor, free from coercion. They want
decent returns from the farm. They
want education, health and recreation
These and many others are the vital
things which our civilization must pro-
duce.
They are the objectives and the
hopes of every decent man and wom-
an. They are the righteous objective;
of civilization itself. The New Dea
did not discover these objectives. M
person or party ever had self
righteous monopoly of them.
The bright colors of wordy objec-
tives are being used to camouflagt
failure. Samuel Johnson said the roac
to the hot place was paved with gooc
intentions. Truly it can be said thai
the New Deal road to salvation Il
paved with objectives. That roac
badly needs repaving with practica
methods.
The Republican party can declare
the same principles under which w
can reach our social goals and not de-
stroy them.
And there is the point OF view oi
the Republican party toward budget
deficits, debts, taxes, currency inf1a-
ton. When you deal with other peo-
pies money the word is conservative
not liberal, especially with capital l.
The Republican party can declare
the principles of economy which vii
lift a burden from all who toll. Il
can declare principles of taxation that
will not choke enterprise and destroy
mems jobs.
There is discussion in the Repub-
lican party as to whether it shoulc
undertake to declare its position upor
these fundamental questions now ol

nate. The fifth are our relations to
other nations.
Some of these issues are new in
the last five years. Some have de-
veloped since the election. All of
them are becoming increasingly vivid
to the people.
Cannot Be Static.
The time has come when the Re-
publican party should be reoriented
to these fundamental issues. No civ
ilization is static. 1t must move for
ward or die Therefore no party can
be static. 1t must move forward with
the times.
Our national question is not alone
where are We going? But even more
where do we want to go?
A group of important Republican
leaders of all shades of thought have
put forward proposal that the party
should select a policy committee of
its most distinguished men and women
to draft an honest, courageous declara-
ton of convictions, of positive princi-
Piles and forward action. 1t is proposed
that this draft should be submitted
to a general conference of party lead
ers prior to the congressional elec-
ton. support that suggestion. Such
policy committee could we'll be con-
tinued to work out methods within
solution of many national problems to
be presented later on or to the 1910
convention. l am not concerned over
details. I am deeply concerned that
people who are losing their way shall
be given a banner of moral and in
tellectual leadership around which
they can rally as the inevitable day
of disillusionment comes to them.
In the meantime no greater serv-
ice can be given than discussion and
debate of these fundamental questions.
Gov. Landon few nights ago made
notable contribution to such dis
cussion. Our Senators and Represent
atives in their daily battles con-
tribute to the formulation of ideas.
Nothing could be more helpful than
the formulation of constructive con-
victions and positive purposes by our
State and local organizations and our
Republican clubs and the press. The
ideas of the Democratic party are
made by one man. We want to de-
velop Republican ideas from the party.
In the face of this crisis there is an
ample area of ideas upon which to
build unity.
Urges Outline Of Views.
My purpose tonight is not to fore
cast such a declaration. 1t is to
urge that it be undertaken by the
party and to outline something of
the attitude or the point of view
that could be considered in formulat-
ing it.
Today as never before we are faced
with moral questions in public life.
We have had new deal in public
honor. To indicate its significance
let me ask you few questions.
The first of these questions involves
intellectal honesty in officials and in
government.
Can your Government broadcast
half truths and expect the citizen to
tell the whole truth?
Do you think you can pollute
thought with framed Government
propaganda and maintain honest
thinking in the citizen?
Do you think the Government,
which engages hundreds Of paid pub

direction it creates its own demand
for more personal power. And one of
its results is frankenstein Of hate
and national disunity. There cannot
be system part collectivist and part
regulated private enterprise. The
very conflict of the two systems Gre
ates one economic emergency after
another. We witness that at this very
hour. Do you think the confidence OF
men, the enterprise of men, Is not to-
day chilled to the bone?
The Republican party can declare
the principles of free enterprise regu-
lated to prevent abuse and 1t can set
these principles against forms OF COL
lectivism. 1t can do still more.
1t can declare the principles for
cure of abuse which will not shackle
the enterprise and initiative of men.
1t can do still more.
1t can declare the principles upon
which alone a progressive economic
system can produce increasing stand
ards of living and security. 1t can do
more.
1t can declare the principles that
will er1ancipate the American people
from the collectivism which has al
ready crept over us. 1t can do still
more
1t can propose the principles OF
Justice that will stamp out the fires OF
hate, and cure the wounds OF class
conflict. 1t can do more.
1t can declare its convictions on the
rights and responsibilities of free men
That is the spirit of constitutional
government. In those ramparts it can
hold against every assault on human
liberty.
And here is a paradox. The Re-
publican party becomes the conserva-
tive party in the sense Of conserving
true liberalism.
The Trapeze.
Incidentally, new form Of planned
economy has been announced from
Washington. That is to be balanced
abundance. 1t seems to recall the
| trapeze.
What Of the attitude toward hu-
manitarian or social problems? After
five years of New Deal remedies Mr.
Roosevelt has said one-third of the
people are still underclad, underfed
or underhoused One could debate
that figure as too high, but our pur-
pose is not a statistical discussion
Whether it is one-fifth or one-fourth
| of tenth it is too high for America
We have all of us tried to picture
the kind of America we would wish tc
see. I pray the day will come lr
America when it cannot be said with
truth that any one who will work
shall be underclad or underfed OF
underhoused. We want more for oul
people than a minimum Of food, shell
ter and clothing.
But America must think also of the
other nine-tenthS or two-thirds, OF
whatever it is, which are mostly the
great economic middle class. 1 am
not thinking of the drones, either rich
or poor.
1t is the great economic middle class

do the same thing in stocks?
Is it moral for government to
collect hundreds of millions from the
wages of workmen under the promise
that they are kept in fund for
their security and then spend this
fund on it's current expenses and ex-
travagances?
Is it moral to evade the Corrupt
Practices Act by selling books to cor

And there are questions involving
the sacredness of law.
What happens to the morals OF q

What of governors who obstruct the

Or of workmen beaten and killed
by police squads on one hand and
beef squads on the other?
Do not all moral restraints disap-
pear and the ugly specters of vigi-
lantes arise?
And there are questions involving
the building of character in men.

subsidize, threaten or cajole the Con-

are you not corrupting the people?

Is the Federal Government not abet'

enormous sums of public money di

Can we hope for self-governmen
