Mr. Spangler outlined five board
aims for the party's 1914 campaign:
Ito build a better and happier
nation and do our full share in
building peaceful and better
world
2-Plan for AN abundance as
against the New Deal philosophy of

will be hungry

ness to succeed and not to be
ruined by irresponsible bureaucratic
interference and arbitrary control"

conditions which will permit in
dustry to expand =" and produce
the things which will add to our
standard of living

ident Hoover and Alfred M. Landon, .
1896 Republican candidate for Presl-
dent.

Early Meeting Planned.
The Council was organized, accord
ing to the Republican chieftain, with
the cooperation Of Senate Minority
Leader McNary and House Minority
Leader Joseph w. Martin.
"Although the winning of the war
is our first concern" Mr.. Spangler
said, the Republican party is in
tensely interested in the tremendous
problems, both foreign and domestic,
which will face us when victory
comes They will arise as an after
math of the war accentuated by our
1O-year debacle under the reaction
/ ary New Deal. They will call for
the wisest craftsmanship and the
best and most patriotic efforts of
! all our citizens"
Hits Arbitrary Control.
/ I'VE must plan to create instead
of destroy" he said. I'VE must make
| it possible for business, big and little,
/ to succeed and not to be ruined by
/ irresponsible bureaucratic interfer-
ence and arbitrary control
/ Mr.. Spangler said the council will
invite outstanding spokesmen Of
finance to consult with it and to
offer advice He summarized the
postwar conditions which, he said,
the world will encounter:
When this war is won we will be
confronted with debt burden
created by wasteful spending before
the war, and by the war itself,
which will be truly appalling. The
tax load will strain our capacities
to the utmost. Our industrial plant,
geared to total war, will overnight
be compelled to return to peacetime
activities. Millions of men and
women, now employed in our war
! effort, must be returned to profit
| able employment in private life.
| Ten million men and women in our
armed forces must be provided with
decent jobs when they come home.
We will face an Impoverished and
demoralized world without trade or
commerce.

acutely aware that never before in
all our history has call come for

building a peaceful and better
world"
