House Control in AZ
By the Associated Press


TOPEKA, KanS.. Dec. 5.-Repre-
sentative Martin of Massachusetts,
chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee. said last night
that those who profess to believe
the G. o. P. is not "a strong, viIile
vigorous party destined to come
back into power simply are closing
their eyes to the plain implications
of the future"
Wait till the people get their tax
bills next March and in March, '43, -
he asserted in an address before
the biennial convention of the
Young Republicans of Kansas.
Wait until after story after story
and tale after tale and instance
after instance of utter waste in ma
tional defense and in non-defense
expenditures are revealed to the
people Wait until instances like the

publicanS the administration con-

campaign to discredit the press"
Urges Bi-Party Rule.
Calling for return TO balanced
bi-party government Mr.. Martin
declared dictatorship does not neceS-
sarilv mean the rule OF an lndl-
vidual despot.
1T may be the rule of group,
or a clique or party. Moho-party
government could be a dictatorship
lust as surely-and as dlSastrously
as one-man government could
be
ITO re-establish that system OF
balanced bi-party government, We
must. in 1912. take control OF the
House of Representatives No con-
structive opposition can be either
constructive or an opposition II II
lacks the power to make its views
respected and considered. or If 1t
lacks the means to reach the peo-
pie"
Mr.. Landon declared:
I'VE are overlooking the perlls
in the third-term business. the sys-
tematic campaign to discredit the
press over a long period of years,
the continual support OF those who
believe our Capltalistic system Is
failure and no longer can perform
its historic function.
ANYTHING Is Possible"
"The administration controls the
radio. If it can make the people OF
the country lose confidence in the
press. and eliminate any real
worthwhile minority party. then
ANYTHING is possible. We will have
a one-party system and the ma
chinery to perpetuate 1t.
1T is ridiculous 10 talk about a
party as much in the minority as we
are In the National CongresS-which
under recent court decisions and ad-
ministrative policies is superseding

The 1886 Republican presidential
nominee added: 1T is the necessary
duty of minority party to criticize

1T is not the job of Republican
