savings, providc more jobs for work

create more profitable outlets for
the energies of the people generally
in the next twenty-five years than
it did in the twenty-five years be-
tore 1929. If too many hurdles are
not thrown in its path by either the
public policies of the government or
the private policies of business.
THE CENTRAL ISSUE
The central issue confronting ma
tional leadership today is that of
securing full employment of the
man-poWer, technical Skill and
economic resources of the nation.
THE STARTING POINT
The starting point of sound econ
omic policy for the nation at this
particular junction is, therefore, a
fact-baGed realization that the pri-
vate economy of America has not
come to a dead-end has not been
stricken with creeping paralysis, but
is crowded with possibilities of
bountifui growth and profitable ex-
pansion, and that these possibilities
can be more surely and more quickly
realized under a regime which ac-
cords to men the largest measure of
freedom in their enterprises con-
sistent with the safeguarding and
serving of the common interest
TIE FOREIGN POLICY
The foreign policy of the United
States must be determined by
realistic consideration of the pol
itical economic. and military stu
htion that now obtains throughout
the world. We must not allow our
emotions to unfit US for rational

How Republicans
View j. 5. Needs

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. up
Following are excerpts of the report
of the Republican program commit
tee headed by DR.. Glenn Frank.
This abstract of the 30,00O-word
report was prepared by the Re2ub-
llcan national committee:
IN 1917 AND
TODAY
We entered the World war in 1917
with our domestic affairs in good
condition. The income of the people
was not unduly burdened by tax
alton. The national debt was neg
ligible. The federal credit was not
under strain. There was no reason
then to question the survival either
of our economic system of free en-
terprise or of our political system
of representative government.
And the Wilson leadership under
which we entered the war was SO
unqualifiedly committed to the prin-
ciple of democratic self-gOvernment
and free enterprise that there was
no reason to fear giving it the fullest
war powers and no reason to doubt
that it would willingly relinquish its
emergency controls over American
life and entei prise at the end OF
the war
This is not the situation today?

facts instead OF general claims BY
this | mean it becomes much more
dependable because it gives the
reader recent news Of what has
occurred in the history Of the ad-

For instance, recent research
in the gasholine market has shown
us that thousands OF motorists who
formerly used extra-priced gaso-
lines have changed to Nu-Blue
Sunoco. Now that, in itself, is int
eresting. But we believe 1t be-
comes distinctly newsworthy
when we point out that these mo-
florists are saving two cents on
every gallon OF Nu-Blue Sunoco,
due to the fact that this motor
fuel sells at regular gas price.
Now, these days in particular

AN EARLY SEASON

According to the calendar, at least,
we should have an early Spring this year,
as Easter Sunday and all the other special
days dependent upon its date come un-
usually early. Under our system of reckon
ing, Easter can never come before March
%, and this year it falls on March "a.
This is the earliest Easter date in the
entire present century, except in 1918,
when it occurred on March %. In keeping
with the date of Easter, Ash Wednesday
comes on February 7 this year, marking
the beginning of Lent, which is reckoned
as 40 days before Easter, not counting the
intervening Sundays.
Mardi Gras, meaning in French Eat
Tuesday," a great day of frolic and merry
making is the day before Ash Wednesday,
and likewise governed by the date of
Easter coming this year on February 6. 1t
marks the end of the winter carnival sea-
son in numerous localities, particularly in
New Orleans.
On Mardi Gras day and night the
streets of New Orleans are filled with peo-
pie in gay costumes of all kinds; there is
brilliant pageantry, the event terminating
with a grand ball. This festival is one of
the most famous in the United States and
attracts many thousands from far ana
near.

There will be another hot time
