And the New Deal has not im2g-

have even been afraid to give the

Fellow Americans, so long as we
are haunted by fear we cannot hope
to preserve our precious liberties.
We must, rather. awake from the
bitter dreams, from the discourage
ment and despair, the poverty, the
unemployment, and the fear.
We must awake. We must awake.
It is not true that our days are fin

These are bad dreams that We have
had. But now I am calling to you

pleading with you to brush aside
what was never true-to join me in
building America, in rebuilding
America. in building a new Amer
ica, so strong. so full of hope, that
we can keep the peace that We want,
the democracy that We want. and
the liberties that we want. That is

Wallace Points 10 Federal
Spending in South Dakota
By the Associated Press.

ABERDEEN. S. Oak, Oct. 5.-Henry
A. Wallace, Democratic vice presi-
Dental candidate, called attention
to Federal expenditures in South
Dakota amounting to S526 900 600
under the Roosevelt administration
and declared in campaign address
here last night that if the Repuoli-
cans had been in power very little
of this money" would have gone
into the Middle West.
IT know because I was a Republi-
can once" the former Secretary of
Agriculture asserted, drawing ap-
plauSe and laughter from a crowd
in the agricultural arena.
There would have been q few

land at to 6 per cent interest.

payments, crop insurance or the
rest.

FLYNN has gathered the party Lead

then insisted on meeting them IN
dividually. He's in the West for
organizational work and to get ac-
ouainted I'm trying to do IN two
and a half months what Jim Farley
did in seven years" he puts IT,
whimSically.
The new chairman puts on no
"side." He is pleasant and genial and
frank-anG he is apparently su-
premely confident that President
Roosevelt will be reelected. Indeed
he tells all his meetings that he has
received reports from party leaders
everywhere that show there can be
not the slightest doubt Roosevelt Will
carry the country in big way.
Finds Politics the Same.
Although Mr.. Flynn, as leader OF
the Democratic party in the pop
ulous Bronx. has for years been
dominant figure in New York poll
tics, this Is his first real excursion
into the national field. He's finding
apparently that politics is politics
whether it be in one of the five dlvis-
ions of Great New York or in the
Nation at large, and the Democrats
are finding that the Bronx leader is
no novice at the great American
game.
When the new national chairman
speaks his voice has the same timbre
as that of Al Smith-although he
has not the same East Side accent.
When he says, Lets look at the
facts you may close your eyes and
think you are hearing the Happy
Warrior" of other days saying, Let S
look at the record He speaks, too,
with the same kind of force that
made Smith a leader OF the party
in the 20s and early 30s. He is
handy, too. in the give and take OF
press conferences, yet his answers
to queries are not made without
thinking.
Coming into Portland, the Demo
cratic chairman had good word
to say for Oregon's most popular
political figure, Senator McNary,
the Republican vice presidential
candidate. He warned the voters OF
Oregon, however, that in voting this
year for McNary they were not
voting for him for President-but
for Mr.. Willkie.
Clever AntiWillkie Technique.
Mr.. Flynn's technique in dealing
with Mr.. Willkie is clever enough.

But the battle of France had been
lost before it began. It had been
lost in the wasted years when
France was foundering under the
Blum government-new own new
deal.
For instance. French production
of steel, which had slowly Increased
from 1882 to 1887, declined again in
1888, just when France should have
been producing more steel than ever
before in her life.
Decline i'm French Output
OF Planes Is Cited.
At the close of the World War
in 1918, France was producing
about 1000 airplanes month. In
1886 she was producing $50 month.
At that point the Blum government
decided to nationalize the aircraft
factories. They were almost all
taken over by the government-and
production dropped to so month.
At the time of the battle of
France, the best that the French
aircraft industry could produce was
300 airplanes month.
We, too, in America increased our
general production level from 1882
to 1937-though our rate of increase
was slower than that of most other
countries. But we, too, turned
downward in 1888
We turned downward two years
after the present third-term candi-
date had observed the necessity for
an adequate defense" We turned
downward because the New Deal
was absorbed in its own political
objectives: The attack against busi-
ness and the attack against the Su-
preme Court.
While total industrial production
was declining in these critical years,
our airplane industry made some
progress. But it was not enough
for adequate defense.
L. S. Plane Decline
Blamed on New Deal.
At the close of the World War
the United States, like France, was
producing about 1000 airplanes a
month. In 1887, one year after the
administration had recognized the
need for an adequate defense" we
produced less than 1000 military
planes during the entire year.
Even in 1899, three years after
the New Deal announced the need
for defense program, we produced
only 5000 military planes.
And this year, with all the des-
perate need of Britain and ourselves,
we shall be lucky to produce 1000
military planes - little more than
half the rate of 20 years ago.
Think what a difference it would
have made to the democracies of
the world if the American aircraft
production of 1910 had been at
tanned in 1899. Seven thousand air
planes from America in 1889 would
nave given the democracies another
lease on life. Seven thousand air
planes in 1893 would have meant
10 or Is thousand today. 1t would
have changed the course of history.
The reason for our failure was
that the New Deal theorists and the
New Deal politicians blocked the
creative forces of our people.
