Dewey Offers 11-Point PIedoe
To Be Followed if COP Wins

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 17.-An 11-point
pledge which be said would be
followed by the Republican admin
istration if the COP national ticket
wins in November was enunciated
last night by Gov. Thomas E
Dewey.
Here are the objectives he said he
and Gov. John w. Bricker of Ohio
the vice presidential nominee, are
determined to establish if they win
office:
"An administration devoted to
public service instead of public
pickering.
AN administration working in
harmony with Congress.
AN administrat ton IN which the
cabinet is restored as a responsible
instrument of government
AN administration in which you
will not have to support three men
to do one mans job.
AN administration which will root
out waste and bring order out of
chaos.
"An administration which will give
the people of this country value re-
ceived for the taxes they pay.

making machinery. Jobs and op-
portunity for every American and
our chance for lasting peace-all
depend on this election.
Now. what kind of administration
do we need for the mighty prob
lens we shall face after the war?
AS never before we shall need a
Government that meets these simple
tests.
l. Is it honest?
2. Are the people who run 1t
trained and competent for their
jobs?
3. Is it Government with faith
in the future of America and a
wholehearted determination to make
our system work?
Some Simple Tests.
Let us apply these simple tests
to what we now have so that we
can find out whether it's time for
q change.
For II years the New Deal has
treated US to constant pickering
quarreling and back biting by the
most spectacular collection of in
competent people who ever held
public Office. We must not trust our
future to such people as Harry Hop
kins, Madame Perkins and Harold
Ickes. Certainly America can do
better. I propose that we will do
better.
But we can never do better under
the New Deal. The scars of its own
failures and its own quarrels are
too deep. Going right back to its
beginning, if it wasn't a free-for all
fight in the NRA, it was Messers
Ickes and Hopkins fighting over
who got four billion borrowed dol
lars to spend on PWA or WPA. 1t
was Henderson and Ickes squabbling
over the right to be gasoline czar
or fight between the rubber di-
rector and the Undersecretary of
War.
Disgraceful Performance.
If it wasn't the OPA fighting with
itself, it was Mr.. Ickes denouncing
the War Labor Board for its part
in what he called a "black-and
stupid-chapter in the history OF
the home front. - ="
The most disgraceful performance
came when Vice President Wallace
accused Secretary of Commerce
Jones of having "done much to
harass the =. : effort to help shorten

OWN, PWRCB, OFAR, FRC and
the ACPSAHMWA.
There are more, but that's enough
Can BE Inspiration.
Our country has very important
role to play in the world in the
years to come. We can never achieve
our objectives under an admins
tration too tired and worn out to
bring order out of its own chaos
either at home or abroad. :.
This Nation OF ours can be an in
spiration to the world. We can be
a steadying influence for freedom
and peace. But first we must have
peace in our own Government. We
must set our own house in order.
That can never be done by a weary
and worn-out administration. 1t
can and must be done by a fresh
and vigorous administration which
will restore honesty and competence
to our Government.
These things we pledge to you:
An administration devoted to
public service instead of public
pickering.
An administration working in
harmony with Congress.
An administration in which the
cabinet Is restored as a responsible
instrument Of government.
An administration in which you
will not have to support three men
to do one mans job.
An administration which will root
out waste and bring order out of
chaos.

est record OF all. Out of "a leading
industrial nations of the world, 10
had made greater recovery than the
United States from the crash Of
1929. All but five had exceeded the
1929 level of production and gone
well beyond it. The fact is that
the New Deal depression in the
United States was actually holding
back economic recovery all over the
world.
Quotes Churchill.
1t was Winston Churchill who,
late In 1887, said: THE Washington
administration has waged so ruth
less war on private enterprise that
the United States Is actually
at the present moment leading the
world back into the trough Of de-
preston"
Then he added: Those who are
keeping the flag of peace and free
government flying in the Old World
have almost the right to ask that
their comrades in the New World
should set an example of
strength and stability"
But Mr.. Roosevelt ignored the
warning. He went on with his
war on business and employment,
his experimentation quarrels
and his chaos.
One Long Failure.
The New Deals record at home
is one long chapter of failure. But
some people still tell us: I'VE agree
that the New Deal is a failure at
home, but its foreign policies are
very good" Let me ask you: Can
an administration which is so dis
united and unsuccessful at home be
any better abroad? Can an ad-
mlnistration which Is filled with
quarreling and back biting where
we can see it be any better abroad
where we cannot see it? Well. the
answer to that seeps through the
brick wall of censorship.
For example, on February IL
l943, while we were seeking vital
war materials in Brazil. an article
lin the New York Times told how
the conflict between Mr.. Wallace
and Mr. Jones was being echoed
among our Representatives in Brazil
1t went on to say that dissension
among the scores of agency rep
Iresentatives had actually LED the
Americans to participate in de-
partmental rows among agencies OF
the Brazilian government itself"
Last year special committee of
United States Senators was sent ia
our war theaters overseas. Read
what Democratic Senator, Rich
ard B. Russell, said in a report tc
the Senate on October %, 1943
These are his words: Our civil
agencies abroad are numerous. but
too often they are either working
at cross purposes, or, worse to re-
late, in some cases have no appar-
ent purpose"
Our Agencies Abroad.
Here is report from the Jolly 30
l943, issue Of the United States
News. 1t says: "' in NORTH
Africa field agents of half q
dozen agencies-the Treasury, BEW
Lease-Lend, State Department anc
others-are reported to have broueh,
confusion to the brink of chaos"
/ Why is it that our representation
in the vital areas abroad is on. the
brink of Chaos? The answer i.
exactly the same as at home.
In addition to the duly consti.
tuted officers of the State Depart.
ment and the Army and Navy, there
are now operating wholly or partly
all over the world the followins
agencies of this administration:

this war =" and Mr.. Jones
charged the Vice President with
malice, innuendo, half truths and
no truths at all. ="
What kind of Government is this
that even a war cannot make it
sober down and go to work? Little
men rattling around in big jobs
Our country cannot afford the
wasteful luxury of incompetent peo-
pie in high places who spend their
time fighting each other.
Cites Roosevelt Remark.
Even Mr.. Roosevelt publicly con-
feSsed on August 81, 1912, that these
conflicts within his administration
have been a direct and serious
handicap to the prosecution of the
war" How costly they have been
We will never know. But we dc
know one thing. Twelve years OF
this kind of Government are too
long. Sixteen years of it would be
intolerable.
This administration has lived on
conflict. They plan it that way
Listen to the Presidents executive
order No. 1884. 1t says in part:
The Secretary of Agriculture and
the War Food Administrator
shall each have authority to exer-
else any and all of the powers vested
in the other. ."
In other words, Mr.. Roosevelt
gives two men the same powers and
then turns them loose to fight about
1t. He has been doing that for IL
straight years and it is one of the
major reasons the New Deal failed
in peacetime and would fail again
if it got a chance. We can't afford
this kind of planned, noisy chaos
and bungling in the days ahead.
That's why it's time for change.
Evade Responsibility.
Now there is another important
reason why this New Deal adminis-
tration has been one long chapter
Of quarreling and confusion. That
reason is the consistent practice of
evading responsibility. High officials
issue statements. Nobody rebukes
or removes them. But when the
statements later prove embarrassing
they are lightly disavowed or turned
aside as unauthoritative.
Last month I challenged a state
ment by the national director of
selective service in which he said,
We can keep people in the Army

the people of this country value re-
ceived for the taxes they pay.

ablest men and women in America
who will receive full authority to do
their jobs and will be let alone to
do them.
An administration free from the
influence Of Communists and the
domination of corrupt big city ma
chimes.
An administration in which the
Constitution is respected so that the
liberties of our people shall again
be secure.
An administration which will
devote itself to the single minded
purpose of jobs and opportunity for
all.
My distinguished associate John
w. Bricker and are united in our
determination to these ends. We
know that they can be achieved.
We are united by these objectiyes
and a firm determination under God
to achieve them. America must
never go back to the insecurity, un-
employment and chaos of the New
Deal. Because she must, America
can and will 60 forward once again.

Text of Gov. Dewey's Address in St. Louis
COP Candidate Says President Released DeIono Report
Containing Some Ideas Advanced by Gen. Hershey
BY the Associated Press.

by Lne Associated HreSS.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. H.-FolloUinq
is the prepared tert of cam
paign address here last night by
Gou. Thomas E. De,D9y of NeU
York, the Republican presiden-
tial candidate.
Fellow Americans:
I am happy to come to Missouri
tonight to carry on the battle for
honest and competent government
am happy also to salute your dis
tinguished Republican Governor
who. next January, will become
United States Senator, Forrest c.
Donnell, and your next Governor
Jean Paul Bradshaw.
1t is clear by now that the New
Deal has been taken over by the
combination of corrupt big city
bosses, Communists and fellow trav-
elers. The people of Missouri have
shown their independence before by
throwing off the rule of the corrupt
Pendergast machine. In the light
OF that record, I am sure they will
never permit men who are products
of that machine to succeed in their
current attempt to take over our
National Government.
Face Mighty Decision.
| The war in Europe is drawing to
close. But hard tasks remain. We
must speed the drive for final vic
tory We must put behind our
/ fighting men the backing of COM
petent, effective government at
home. We must make sure that
when total victory is won, those
fighting men are brought home
promptly. We must take the lead
ership in bringing about effective
international cooperation to pre-
vent future war.
We in America face a mighty
decision. Ten million heroes will
be coming home, entitled to the
fruits of victory "a prospering
country with security and oppor-
tunity to get ahead. Millions of
workers in war plants will demand
their right to good job in peace
industry at good wages with Secur-
ity and stable employment. The
farmers Of America have a right to
know that their tremendous efforts
in the face of inadequate help and
machinery will be rewarded by a new
future of freedom from regimenta-
ton with stable and good prices
for the fruits of their labor.
Is the tired and quarrelsome New
Deal all America has to offer? Must
we 60 back to leaf raking and
doles? Must our returning heroes
Igo on the same old WPA? Must
our farmers go back to detailed
control by host of New Deal
agents, with falling prices to boot?
Election Will Decide.
These questions will all be decided
in this election. The freedom and
future of our country are at stake
Never in history was it so important
that we have a Government which
will be respected at home and re-
spected abroad. Never was it so
important that we choose a Gov
ernment which can restore our job
