The tipping student types merrily
along, oblivious of the stares of the
other pupils who are entering the
room. The cause of their amaze
ment is the fact that, although he
is tapping the keys, and black type

a faint murmur issues forth from
the machine. Finally one of the
students solves the case by asking
the reason for this phenomeon. The
student at the typewriter explains

days of hectic sessions of a national

pressure groups. But taken on its

begins to see in the Glenn Frank
report Iberalized Republican party
rising to meet political coercionism
as it has developed under the New
Deal Sphilosophy Of government.
The Program Committee report
represents the labor of nearly two
years, with countless conferences
and discussions in which hundreds
of persons in different parts of the
United States participated. Students
of political science. experts in tax
alton, social security, medical care
problems, labor relations, agricul-
ture and public finance participated
and gave of their time and energies
unselfishly so that a major political
party might produce a document
that would answer once and for all
the petulant queries of New Dealers
on the stump: What would you do?
How would you balance the budget?"
Questions Are Answered.
The report answers these ques-
tions comprehensively and directly,
not, of course, to the satisfaction of
its political opponents, but de-
signedly to the satisfaction of the
10000, 900 or more Independent vot-
ers who will want to know what
they are voting for If they vote out
the New Deal.
The report may or may not be
adopted by the Republican National
Convention next June. Politicians
may not like it. But it ought to
be accepted. For it is ever so much

headed by Glenn Frank, former
president of the University of Wis
consin. but nobody really is entitled
to criticize the document for others
who has not read every syllable of
the 30,000-word statement of policy.
In many respects the report will
rank as the most interesting state
ment Of policy in democracy since
the days when the British Labor
party electrified the world with its
penetrating analysis of contempo-
rary affairs in Britain.
The Glenn Frank report is not
the work of one man. It is the
work Of many persons, both with
and without governmental expert
ence, and represents an approach to
questions of national policy which
is challenging whether or not one
agrees with it's detail.
Read Every Word of 1t.
The document has been read by
this correspondent, every word of
1t, and while there is room for diff
ference of opinion on solutions Of
fered, it can be said that the doc
ument is true liberalism. It does
not propose return to reactionary
practices nor does it advocate free
dom for anybody to do as he pleases
either in industry or labor. Never
theless 1t does represent a program
that looks toward the emancipation
OF labor unions, agriculture, busi-
nessmen and everybody else, in
cluding the vast number of unor-
ganized employees and producers,
from the yoke of excessive govern
mental domination of our economic
system. --
Curiously enough there Is not a
single sentence or phrase in the
entire report that reflects in any
way on President Roosevelt person.
ally nor is there any mention of
him as an individual. The docu-
ment deals with New Deal policy
and the New Deal record and is an
excellent example of objective writ
ing.
Far from being the pussy-foot
type of declaration which political
parties usually offer, the Glenn
Frank report is a fortnight pro-
nouncement which is worded in such
a way that persons familiar with
each OF the problems discussed
can readily recognize the scope and
limits Of each solution proposed.
The report disposes of the motion
that the choice today lies between
no Intervention by Government and
intervention by Government in
business. It makes clear, that the
true problem is "the nature, extent
and purpose" of the Intervention.
Nor are economic matters treated
exclusively. Indeed, social objec-
tives and social legislation form a
substantial part of the report.
A Loose Characterization.
Around the National Capital where
there is a tendency every nowe and
then to indulge in loose character
ization, some have said that the re-
port is just another New Dealish
document. Anybody who takes the
trouble to read it through will see
that the report is as different from
the New Deal conception of public
policy as Fascism is from American
democracy. Even Facism contends
its objective is the maximum good
for the maximum number, so there
Is little opportunity to determine the
merit Of any national policy merely
by hearing a declaration OF objec-
tives. It is, therefore. by examining
this penetrating analysis of each

cesses of government itself that one
