from the viewpoint OF witnessing
:. unfolding of Rooseyeltian
fourth term draft tactics.
The process is to be another of
those devious. cunning and clever

A MIDWEST COUNTRY EDITOE
D asks, How would you define whal
constitutes a Republican and what
does the Party stand for?" The
answer to that question was incor-
porated in a recent address made
by Harrison E. Spangler. chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee:
When it comes to the reassertion
of American faith and practice
which these times call for, the Re-
( publican Party is qualified to speak.
1t was born in crisis, when the
fate of the nation transcribed any
Party. The leadership it furnished.
then, rose above Party lines and
saved the nation.
In the more than three-quarters
of a century since Lincoln. the
Republican Party has steadfastly
believed that the greatest fact
about America was Americas fu-
ture. 1t has believed that Ameri-
can institutions. derived from the
wisdom and experience of the past. /
are still the best guarantees known
to men for making that future sure. /
The Republican Party believes
in the Constitution as our basic
law. 1t believes in constitutional.
Bill-of-Rights government. 1t does
not believe that representative gov
ernment can be shortcut without
sooner or later. being short-cir
cuited. We do not believe, like to-
days tOtalitarians. in government
by men. We believe like our fore
fathers. in government by law.
The Republican Party believes
that honesty in the public business
is more to be desired than fine
words; that integrity in public men
and political Parties is a greater
asset than political pluralities;
that agreements are made to he
kept; that debts have to be paid;
that squandering of the peoples
money is administrative theft; that /
a government of easy money is al
ways government of easy virtue
The Republican Party believes :
hat the people are masters of their !
lwn government-not that govern
nent is master of the people. 1t
in strong federal author {
ty. But it believes that all pos
;ible power should be retained at
he State and local level-where
he people are-and that as little as
possible power should be trans
ierred to where the
people are not. I
We believe that no government {
deserves to exist in which, begin
hing at the lowest income level. j.,
he people are not moving ahead
md upward in their economic. edu- I
and spiritual well-being.
The Republican Party believes
hese things because they are right. \
I believes them because when We
ave practiced these things Amer "
ca has moved forward; when we b
lave neglected them America has -
allen prey to the cynics and the :,
Iefeatists. il
The Republican Party has be f
Ome the voice of America-the
oice of the people--as expressed d
n recent elections. II is the voice W
f farmers and of men and women
n factories. OF managers of bust el
ess and of mothers of soldiers and NJ
ailors. As Americans they have

House Committee 5
Discharge Pay Plan
To Be Ready Today

The House Military Affairs Com
mittee will complete work today on
a revised mastering -out pay bill to
give a fiat $500 to all men and
women who serve so days or more.
The payment would include the
grade of captain, and be made in
three monthly installments.
The Senate voted before Christ
mas for graduated scale of pay
ments from 5000 to $500, depending
on length of service and time over
seas. If, therefore, the House sus-
tains its committee, the final rates
will have to be compromised in con-
ference. There is strong possibil-
ity, however, the House itself may
increase its committees figures.
Those with less than 60 days serv-
ice would receive $l00, payable in
one sum on discharge, under the
House committee version. Veterans
eligible for the full amount would
receive $100 on discharge, S1O0 30
days later and S100 60 days after
discharge.
The amounts would be payable
regardless of whether the veteran
served abroad or in this country
Excluded, in addition to those with
base pay of more than 50, 400 (cap-
tains) would be students, persons
who were discharged at their own
request TO accept jobs and persons
not discharged honorably.
Amendments Expected.
Most of the estimated 300 1000 men
and women already discharged would
receive the payments, the only con-
dition being that their discharge
occurred on or after December 7,
1941.
Chairman May Of the Military
Affairs Committee said he expected
no trouble getting the bill to the
House floor, but indicated there un-
doubtedly would be attempts made

to amend it by boosting the pay

to amend 1t by boosting the pay
ments.
In view Of Senate passage Of a
bill to provide maximum mastering
out pay of $500, and the American
Legion's stand for that amount, it
was generally expected a drive for
more money would be made on the
floor. The Legion outlined its gen.
eral veterans aid program yesterday
to the House Veterans Committee,
which met again today to hear the
views of spokesmen for other sery-
icemen's groups.

Meanwhile, Warren H. Atherton.

The men who are actually fight

they were drafted into service.
