and KEEP PEACE.
HOOVER ADVISES
Former President Is Wildly
Cheered AS He Addresses
Republican Convention
SEVEN TASKS NECESSARY

SEVEN TASKS NECESSARY
Herbert Hoover emphatically i'm
pressed two prime detectives of party
endeavor upon a cheering Republican
national convention on Tuesday night
at Philadelphia-oust the New Deal
and keep America at peace "unless the
western hemisphere is attacked"
At the same time the former presi,
dent told the vast throng that for
America there was no such thing as
isolation" that a realistic view of
foreign problems dictated that all law,
full assistance be extended to the AL
lies. And he cautioned against ex-
aggerations of "our immediate dan
gers"
The ocean is broad, Hoover told Re-
publican delegates, and an invader
must first pass our navy" a navy
which is "strong enough to stop any
thing in sight now" At the very least,
Hoover said, "this ocean and our mag
nifcent navy give time for sober
preparation"
Relentlessly Hoover castigated the
New Deal for following the suicidal
road for liberty that led to disaster in
Europe.
He said the Republican party "must
at once undertake seven stern tasks;
eve must restore and revitalize liber-
ty in America, restore and rebuild
morals in government, and compe-
tence in government.
eve must develop and maintain for
eign policies that keep us out of these
wars unless we are attacked. We
should facilitate all nations fighting
for their freedom in procuring mater
ials and munitions but subject to def
mite limitations which keep US out of
war.
eve must recall our people from the
fabbiness of the New Deal. We must
reestablish stamina, character and
ideals. We must regenerate hope and
confidence in America. We must re-
store decent life and living to one-third
of our farmers and workers who have
been chronically submerged by the
New Deal"
Hoover recited certain governmental
practices which he said preceded the
establishment of totalitarian govern
ment abroad-"pressure groups, bust
ness, labor, farmers, demanding re-
lief or special privilege" while "class
hate poisoned cooperation" Then he
asked: "Does this sound unfamiliar
to you?" He gave the New Deal credit
for "stabilizing the depression"
Hoover declared it was on the do,
mestic front that eve have to fight"
Citing warnings" which he said could
be found in the fate of democracy in
Europe" he asserted that totalitarian
government arose there after the
structure of liberty was weakened by
"starry-eyed men who believed they
could plan and force the economic life
of the people" and in America eve
have been following the suicide road
for liberty that led to disaster in
Europe"
Of the third term he said that Ger
tainly the New Deal has not been
allergic to power. And now fed on
power they demand a third term for
Mr.. Roosevelt"
That is not mere violation of ira
dition. 1t is violation of fundamen-
tai restraining upon power in this
republic"
Nominations Made
Turning to nominations after APP
proving a platform which emphasized
peace, preparedness and qualified as
sistance to peoples fighting for lib
erty," the Republican National Con-
vention received the names of Thomas
E. Dewey, Frank E. Gannett, Sena
tor Robert A. Taft and Wendell Will
kie as nominees as presidential can
didates. Others who will be nominated
