down to this on the basis Of his
first washington interview:
Social Security - Old age PEN
sions of some sort are here to
stay. Probably the Federal Gov
eminent ought to make q con-
tribution to the States and let
them administer the system. The
reserve fund plan of the present
law is wrong. A pay-as-you-go
system should be substituted. Per
hapS there should be provision
for optional retirement deductions
from individual earnings. But the
present pay roll tax is excessive
and the law should be revised in
any event.
Wages and Hours-The simple
idea of ceiling for hours and q
floor for wages is sound enough.
If the law could be limited to this
he would accept it. But he doesn't
believe administrators should be
given wide powers to adjust wages
and hours, as they have at present,
believing such powers make it pos
sible by administrative action to
move industries from one State or
section of the country t. another.
There must be minimum wages to
protect AS an example - wait
resses who, unorganized, frequently
find themselves otherwise at the
mercy of employers who want to
pay them little or nothing.

what I want to do as governor
Of demonstrating industry
to the State, give men employ
ment, and bring about peace IN
industry. I believe in collec.
tive bargaining. I believe men
have the right to be represented
in their bargaining by anyone
they choose-though preferably
by someone in the institution,
since the men who work for any
business concern know its prob
lens better than any outsider
can ever know them.
"And once a bargain is made
and a contract signed, the con-
tract ought to be kept.
BETTER UNDERSTANDING
u hope as governor to bring
about a better understanding
between employers and labor. /
should like during my term Of
office to eliminate strikes and
picket lines in Wisconsin. and
believe this can be done by
diplomacy and the development
of a friendlier feeling between
employees and employers. I
claim SO per cent of all strikes
and picket lines are caused by
jealous minds"

Stand Outlined

Robert Taft, of Ohio, as a liberal,

on individual issues.
Here to arrange for an office
at the Capitol and a Washington

Supreme Court smilingly lodged
all efforts of interviewers to pin
him down to a particular political
philosophy.

Gently that it remained to be seen
whether the new crop OF Repub-
licans such as Taft, of Ohio; Sal

thing else" The remark was re-
peated to Ohio'S new Senator.
CLASSIFY MEN

they stand and where do I stand
where does any man stand
on particular questions? It is a
newspaper habit to classify pub

prove my attitude Son the queS-

Several hours after the disaster
occurred, the injured victims were
still being removed. The dead
were to be brought out later.
Doctors and nurses sent to the

Word of the disaster spread
quickly through the Nova Scotian

PoWer Hypnotic
There is no question these three dictators must
have a terrific hypnotic power over people; but
their idea of putting the state which really means
themselves, before everything else, to me is an
appalling thing. After all, the individual is a
splendid and wonderful creation of God; and the
courage Of the people in this world is beyond con-
ception, when you think that one and all of us
are standing on the edge Of an abyss and facing
closed door, with nothing but our faith to help
us through. It makes me sick and disguSted to
see these dictators controlling millions of souls
through fear, hate and repression.
Thank God for our country! The people may
not think they are free here, but believe me- they
don't realize and couldn't realize their freedom
until they have had real glimpse into the con.
