SYSTEMAT STAKE,
SAYS VANDENBE:RG
Senator Cahx: on Nation
to Rally to Cause of
Repub|icanism.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Oct. 2e.-Assert-
ing that the American system" was
at stake in the coming election, Sem
ator Arthur H. Vandenberg tonight
called on the Nation to rally to the
cause Of republicanism.
The Michigan Senator in an ad-
dress prepared for a radio network
pictured America as standing at po-
litical and economic crossroads and
declared. 1T can happen here"
We are not automatically immune
to all the forces Of destruction which
are reducing democracy to shambles
elsewhere in the world" he said.
The people must decide whether we
go on to glory in the spiritual and
material freedoms of representative
republic or we bog down in the morass
OF controlled and collective state"
Three-Poin Program.
He outlined national three-point
program of the major party's aims as
he paced Republicans into the home
stretch of their campaign to wrest
Ohio from Democratic control.
/. That the Federal Government
quit spending nearly twice as much as
It takes in. He said continuance of
such spending policy threatened q
crushing burden" of new taxes or
imitation.
at the expense of the legitimate needs
of those who are on relief. Admin
]7tration of aid for needy. he insisted
mould be re-established on a home
.ule" basis.
3. That labor justice as we'll as labor
peace be provided: that the National
Labor Relations Board operate as an
equitable tribunal and not as a
star-chamber inquisition which is a
law unto itself" He urged capital
labor formula to insure employment
rather than civil war"
Minimum of Control.
Senator Vandenberg said, We shall
not hunt crooks with a scatter-splash-
ing biunderbuss. We shall not smear
a5 per cent of honest business for the
;ins Of the per cent. We shall
not gut the whole American system be-
cause it needs Improvements in some
particulars. We shall apply the
necessary minimums of Federal con-
troll. But then we shall give the
American system of free enterprise its
chance to restore American prosperity,
American style.
If third-term President ever gets
tie courts in one hip-pocket and the
Congress in the other, you can even
tually bid good-by to democracy in
America-precisely as it has disap-
peared almost everywhere else on earth
when attacked by concentrated, central
power.
And that's the great. fundamental
thing that this next election is first
ahout."

EROSION LANDS ARE
SHIFTED TO PROFIT

College Station, Raleigh, May 49,
Cooperating farmers on $500 farms il
erosion control areas in North Car
DINA are shifting nearly $4,000 acres
OF their most erosible land TO perma-
nent hay, pasture and woodland, a
report compiled by the Soil Conser-
walton Service shows.
While the bulk of this acreage was
previously classed as cultivated land
the net reduction in cultivated crops
amounts to only $4,000 acres This is
owing to the fact that other land on
these farms that can safely be cul-
tivated is being brought into crop pro
duction and is taking the place of q
part of the erosible land converted to
other uses.
