system is to get our industries
started. We must get to work
and we must get things done.
And the reason we have to fear
the New Deal is because 1t does
not understand industry. 1t has
spent its entire existence in at
lacking industry, rather than in
studying the basic principles OF
American production.
Without a knowledge of these
principles. America cannot de-
fend herself. And in the coming
years a Government that has no
knowledge of these principles.
or any respect for them, will not
be an asset. 1t will be liability.
Let me give just one example
of the New Deals inability to
understand a simple principle of
industry.
Last Wednesday, the President
signed a bill permitting manu-
facturers to amortize over a
reasonable period of time the
cost of factories which they build
for national defense purposes.
1t Is not necessary here to dis
cuss the details of the technical
question of amortization. AS a
practical matter, what this bill
meant was that one of the out
standing obstacles in the way OF
our defense program had finally
been removed.
We know that the measure was
necessary because the Army and
the Navy asked for it. Congress
passed 1t and the President ap-
proved it.
The history of this measure
provides an Illustration of what
has been holding UP our national
defense program. I want to give
you a brief summary of that
history.
IT. begins two and a half years
ago. On April Is. 1898, Admiral
Furlong, head of the Nays Bu-
reau OF Ordnance, wrote a letter
to his chief. the Secretary Of the
Navy, urging that action be taken
to arrive at definite deprecia-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-13

problem was causing serious de-
lays in our defense. But still
nothing happened.
More months passed. On De-
cember 4, 1899, Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
discussed the question in q press
conference. He said that any
idea that more lii eral deprecia-
ton allowance would be granted
manufacturers working on de-
Tense contracts was erroneous.
And just so that there should be
no mistake about where he stood,
he added this-and I am quot
ing his exact words:
IF 1t rested with me as to
whether a fellow would get q
break because he had a NUM-
tons contract, I am afraid he
would fare rather badly"
That was the way the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury set about
encouraging the building up of
defense industries. He put our
manufacturers on notice that
they would never get a break
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1940-10-13

from him. II It rested With him,
they would fare badly.
And so more months passed.
We come to July 10, 1910. The
problem Of amortization was still
holding up our defense, and by
this time defense had become ur.
gent. So White House con-
ference was held.
The President conferred with
officials OF the Treasury, congress
sional committees, and members
Of the National Defense Advisory
Committee.
Then q statement was issued
saying that 1t had been unani-
mously agreed to provide for
I Observation-Disclosures over q
five-year period of additional IA
cilities, including both plant and
equipment certified rs immedi-
ately necessary for national de-
Tense purposes.
Two and q quarter years had
passed since Admiral Furlong
first pointed ont the problem.
In the meantime Europe had

kind. Just a hope that raising
prejudices. drawing red-herrings
across the trail, talking about
international crises, which the
New Deal itself created. will mis-
lead the people of the United
States into renewing its lease Of
ONCE in Washington.
say to you. with the utmost Of
elaboration. that If such a thing
goes on in America, if the Ameri-
can people do not rebuke and
repudiate it, then this system of
Government is beginning to pass
because the people don't care
enough about it to preserve it.
Defense Weakness Charged
In Prepared Speech.
In his prepared speech. Mr..
Willkic asserted.
On many occasions In this
campaign have pointed out the
weakness of our national defense.
This weakness is a matter of rec
ord. 1t has been frequently de-
scribed by the experts of the
Army and Navy.
Though 1t has been talking
national defense for nearly five
years now, the New Deal has
failed to make us strong.
For instance, we all know
what happened to the French
Army for lack of suff1cient wea-
pons against tanks. Maneuvers
right in this State, in Plattsburg
in 1899. disclosed that our Ma
tional Guard units had no such
weapons at all.
Was anything done about this
during 1889? No, nothing at all.
There were no anti-tank weapons
in our National Guard units at
the maneuvers in 1910 either.
The distressing situation of the
National Guard was made clear
by Gen. Haskell. commanding
general of the New York Ma
tional Guard, before the ma
neuvers this year. He said, in a
letter:
II can tell you that in my COM
mand-(oD about $4,000 men
we have not received a single
anti-tank weapon of any kind,
not a single .50-caliber machine
gun. not a single 81 nm. mortar,
not a single so mm mcfarland
We don't know when we are 60
ing to get them. The passing Of
huge appropriations will not de-
fend the United States, unless
industry can produce very much
needed weapons. We now have
