The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1939-12-20

a. We must restore confidence In
government and in the future of the
country We should have such adj
| ministration of the biggest business in
the world-the American government
as will instill confidence.
"2. The public should make abso-
lutely sure that we will not get into
this war. At present there is consid-
cradle fear that we may become in
volved because Of the various utter
ances of the president and the atti-
tude of the administration toward the
belligerents.
49, We should have an end as soon
as possible to the friction and strife
between employer and employee. That
means we must amend the Wagner
act. The national labor relations
board has been a great obstacle to
recovery.
a. We must restore to the farmers
a normal income. Our policy of re-
stricting production on the field and
in the factory has been disastrous
because we have less wealth to divide.
The agriculture program of the ad-
ministration is a complete failure We
should study and adopt the policies
that made farmers In Argentina, Bra
I'll and Australia prosper when we
were blowing under wheat and killing
pigs.
s. We must, as soon as possible,
balance the budget and stop piling up
a great national debt. Taxes must be
reduced through economics all down
the line.
&c. And most important is the re-
storation of incentive and ambition.
The attitude of the administration
toward business has killed all desire
to expand or engage in any new en-
terprise. Banks have the greatest
amount of cash in the history of the
world because no one wants to borrow
for the development of new business
and new enterprise"
He couldn't, of course, stay there
and explain the details of the working
out of these points to us dumb clucks, |
and I've mulled over them and have
to admit that l can't figure it out.
In Point No. 1, l can't see who he
means These folks that have had
to eat off the government for the |
past several years, have some con- |
fidence in the government but don't |
seem to have much confidence in big |
business any more. Maybe he means |
the government will give them more |
to eat when he gets to be president |
That'l build up their confidence, sure |
enough.
OF course we agree that we should |
stay out of war as he stresses in point |
No. 2. He is afraid we can't do it |
because of the administration atti-
tude toward some of the belligerents.
Well, there are one or two people |
more who aren't exactly neutral. And
just why things aren't exactly right
now when we still aren't in the war,
he didn't explain.
AS far as his third Point is con-
cerned, he is probably responsible for
he fine effort already under way to
10 away with the national labor re-
atoms board and amending or doing
away with the Wagner act. OF course
here may have been some feeling at
odd times between employer and en-
)loyee before these laws were passed,
)ut look how much easier it was for
he employer to settle the differences.
Now, even Cannot has had lot of
rouble settling some trouble he has
lad with some employees who are
of one of those red organi-
:ations called the American Newspa-
Ter Guild.
He must "have something in point
our. Of course we don't know like
lie does, how we'll off the little farm
RS in the South American countries
lie names, are, or what it takes to
nut our farmers up to that point and
ure all the trouble in this country
In Point five. he borrows leaf
rom Tom Dewey Funny how great
minds run in the same channels
md when they get the federal budget
