REPUBLICANS SHOULD
WATCH THEMSELVES

Editor, The Times: I think
that the Republicans should be
very sclective in choosing the
bait they use, or they will get
in the same predicament as the
New Deal - they will hook
some that are 400 unruly to man
age. They are towing the boat
towards the rocks.
There should be a distinction
between a Republican and
New Dealer" II the Repubh-
cans are also to play for votes
and support from every organ
lied pressure groups" even
though their activities are pre-
venting recovery. then We might
as well 60 hunting for a dictator.
Don't Try to take the uncompro-
missing groups away from the
New Deal" Go after the peo-
pie that are willing to cooperate
on something constructive.
II does not really matter what
"brand" you put on a politician.
1t Is what he stands for that
counts. Our greatest trouble to-
day is that too many politicians
and reformers stand for nothing
but to get on and stay on the
public payroll. They nearly all
bark up the same old popular"
tree, and allow the pressure
groups" to rule US.
There are certain policies in
government that are economi-
cally sound and constructive.
There are many that are I'M
sound and destructive. We should
try to divide the good from the
bad. You can not mix all to-
gether and expect to get some
thing constructive from the mix
ture. That Is what ais the New
Deal"
The American people do not
realize what mess they are in.
We are not going to get out by
all trying to become popular
with all groups. The Creator
never intended that man
should, in the process CT evolu-
ton, develop into a ''pussyfoot-
err" "shadow-boxer." a punch
puller," or a left jabber.p He
intended that We should have
the courage to take stand for
what We believe right and for
the best interest of humanity.
We need men with enough cour-
age TO tell the people the truth
They are very rare. Ignorance
has completely enslaved the ma
ton. How can We hope to make
progress If our more enlightened
men lack the courage to lead the
people? We continually stay in
reverse gear. Remember. Repub-
hcans, that "A faint heart never
wins a fair lady"
