part Of the New Deal toward this
small business, the owners Of the
plant are on the point of shut
ting down after S. years. And
that would mean so men added
to the ranks Of the unemployed.
Now the men who run that
little business don't want to
abandon it. They Ike 1t. They

Minimum Safeguards Cannot
Protect Against Unemployment.
So here's my point: I am 100
per cent determined to keep the
minimum safeguards that labor
has won. I'd even be In favor of
raising them whenever We can
afford to do so. But I say those
minimum safeguards are not
enough. They cannot really pro-
tect you. They cannot protect
you from the threat of unen-
ployment. They cannot protect
you from the great load Of debt
and taxes that you are now car
rying. And they cannot protect
you from the collapse Of our sys-
TEN, which will inevitably come
If we continue as we are today.
The only thing that can really
protect you. the only thing that
can basically safeguard your
rights and opportunities. is new
employment - more jobs - more
work-more growth - more ex-
pansion.

cannot expect one side to get

other.

President Of the United States, I
shall protect your side Of the
industrial team. But this Is the
thought want to leave with you
tonight: The other side Of the
industrial team, the employer,
must be given q chance. We
can lick the employer If we
want to. We can beat him down,
We can brighten him. we can
even eliminate him. But If we
do that-and that is what the
New Deal is doing-you won't
have any jobs.
Lead Of Unemployed and
Deby May Wreck Democracy.
The difference between. me and
my opponent for once is that
have faith in America. The
New deal candidate does not
believe there are any more jobs,
whereas I know there are. He
does not believe that We can put
the unemployed back to work,
whereas I know that We can.
This is q critical issue. It is
= terrible issue, when you stop
to think about 1t. We know
all history provides us with
proof-that this intolerable load
Of unemployment and debt must
surely end with the destruction
Of our democratic way Of life.
II We 60 on this way We shall
surely lose those rights and
liberties which are so precious to
US. BY his failure to revise our
system, Mr.. Roosevelt is heading
us toward a totalitarian state.
That Is why I ask you to join
me in this crusade: this crusade
to make jobs to put this country
back to work, to build a new
America with a higher standard
OF life than we have ever dreamed
OF before. Democracy is rooted
in prosperity. I have undertaken
to restore prosperity. to open a
greater opportunity for every one
Of us. And If you give me the
chance to do that, I will not let
you down.

eFs. Profits have come to be re-
garded, not as the legitimate
reward of enterprise, but as a
kind of tax laid upon society by
privileged men.
Now if you really believe all
that bunk, then you ought to
change our system SO that we
can all go to work for the State.
Because so long as We keep our
system Of private enterprise. the
employer will not put up $4,000
for your job unless he can make
a profit on it.,
Employers Attacked for
What They Do or Don't Do.
I am not interested in profits
as such. I am not interested
IN employers as such. But I am
interested in both employers and
profits as a means of making
Jobs for those who are now un-
employed, and as a means of
making better jobs for those who
are already employed.
I am pledged to get those jobs,
and I intend to keep my pledge.
Now there is a second thing We
must understand about that
$4,000. The man who invests it
must be given clear chance by
the Government to make his fac
tory work. But the New Deal
has not done that. The New
Deal has been hostile to employ
ers. 1t has attacked them for
almost everything they do, or fail
to do.
I am not going to give you the
whole list of the things that the
New Deal has done to make life
difficult for the man who owns
that factory. You know, because
I have said so many times, that
stand for the proper regula-
ton Of business-particularly big
business. But it seems to me
that it is in the interests Of
labor to make that regulation
just as simple as possible and
just as efficient as possible. Too
much red tape. too many reports
to fill out, too much suspicion on
the part of Government repre-
sentatives, takes the time of the

also adds to his cost-and every
item added to cost outside the

make that product.
Also, as I have pointed out
on many occasions, the New Deal
tax structure is unscientific and
ineflcient. Businesses that make
a profit should pay q tax. But
we must be careful not to levy
taxes that will discourage en-
ployers from starting new busi-
nesses, from hiring more workers.

Reasonably Certain Of Future.
And worst of all, the New Deal
has constantly changed its laws,
its taxes and its regulations.
You understand that in order to
do business successfully, a man
must be able to predict the future
with some reasonable certainty.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Second Giant Is Subdued


 Eric sat silently with his knife and waited for the giant who wished to build a wall as high as the sky. The giant was to say what he wanted carved But he wrinkled his pudgy face in puzzle ment.
 Santa watched and then spoke up Why I remember once when you wished for a wooden bird that would flap it's head and it's tail"
 ""So I did" said the giant. T didn't get it either. That's what l want"
 Eric found a good piece of pine wood and started to carve. He sat at the left of the giants left knee. The giant grew so inter ested that he shifted around to watch.
 Eric whittled silently. The giant grew so interested that he shouted to his workers to build the wall around were he could see them without looking around. Soon the knife stopped and in Fries hand stood a wooden bird It's head wagged and its tail Tapped
 Very good said the giant. But you must do better" He crushed the bird with his big hand Now carve me something else"
 But what?' said the giant. He scratched his head but could think of nothing.
 Santa Suggests Again
 Santa spoke again. Why I re- member one time when you want ed some wooden bells that would play scale
 That's right" said the giant. And I didn't get them Carve me some"
 Eric began to carve again When the giant wasn't looking, Eric shifted further around to the left of the giants left knee Again the giant shifted around to watch. He couldn't see his workers so well. But he shcuted to them to build the wall around where he could see.
 Eric carved until he had eight wooden bells. He strung them, one above the other on the draw string from his blouse. When Ge hit them with the handle of his knife, they played perfect G. major scale.
 Very good said the giant. He crushed the bells and said, But you can do better Now what do want?"
 The very thing!p said the gi- ant Carve me that
 Eric found a big piece of wood. He shifted again and again the giant followed him after shouting to his workers to curve the wall around where he could see them.
 As Eric carved, the stone wall had been curved around until now it enclosed the giant except for narrow space where he faced Eric and Santa.
 Eric carved fast now, because his plan was working. He finished the box. Then he fashioned a lock for it. When he finished he said to the giant, Now I'm sure your brothers can't open this. Try it.

into the box and "Snap!" went the lock. He struggled and shout ed but he couldn't get loose. As he struggled Santa ran to the workers and shouted, Now close up the wall Build fast
 Santa grew SC excited that his face was pink. He blew his silver whistle and the Fairy Queen ap- peared on his shoulder. She waved her wand and the wall grew high and closed around the giant so swiftly that it might have been a cloud passing between the giant and Eric and Santa
