America Wins Admiration

On battlefronts and at home, Americans
have won the admiration of the world. Under
the stress Of war, we have thrown off the
stupor of despair that seemed in the decade
of the 1930s to have settled permanently upon
the land
Today we know our strength and we know
our ability. Shall we return to the philosophy
that Mr.. Roosevelt proclaimed when he said
our industrial plant is built?
Shall we go back to his seven straight years
of unemployment? Shall we go back to the COR
roding misery of leaf-raking and the doles?
Shall we continue an administration which
invokes the language of our enemies and reck-
lessly hurs charges of falsehood concerning
things it knows to be the truth?
l say the time has come to put stop to
everything that is summed up in that phrase,
1.-THE indispensable man.
If any man is indispensable, then none of us
are free But America has not lost its passion
ate belief in freedom.

The Michigan Legion

various sections of Michigan for the
purpose of educating foreign born
residents in American history and
assisting them to pass their citizen
ship tests.
Perhaps though the most impor-
tant contribution of the Michigan
Legion to patriotic endeavor is their
unique Boys State.
This consists of one-week course
held each year at Michigan State
College where civics and the opera
tion of government are taught by the
practical method of actual participa-
ton.
DICKED groups of boys from Is
L through II from every community
are sent to the course where they set
up a model state government with
county and city governmental sub
divisions. Last spring 7O5 boys at
tended the Boys State course.
All these undertakings require
hard, constant work. They are of in
calculable significance in wooing
young minds away from woolly the
cries and governmental doctrines
antagonistic to our form of govern
ment.
BY plugging away at them tire
lessly and without material recon-
pense the Legionnaires are reflecting
credit upon the legion and the state
because they are helping mold the
youth of Michigan into good and in
telligent citizens.
We repeat we are proud and
happy that the William Randolph
Hearst Americanism Trophy has
been won this year by the Michigan
Legion.

Lashes FDR's 'Mud-SIinqing'

Last Saturday night the man who wants
to be President for 16 years made his first
speech of this campaign. Gone was his high
sounding pledge. Forgotten were these days of
tragic sorrow 1t was speech of mud-slinging,
ridicule and wise cracks 1t plumbed the depths
of demagogy by dragging into this campaign
the names of Hitler and Goebbels; it descended
to quoting from Mein Kampf and to reckless
charges of fraud" and "falsehood."
Let me make one thing entirely clear.
shall not join my opponent in his descent to
mud-slingng If he continues in his desire to
do So he will be all alone
l shall not use the tactics of our enemies by
quoting from Mein Kampf. will never divide
America. Those tactics l will also leave to my
opponent
shall never make a speech to one group
of American people melting them to hatred
and distrust of any other group. In other ma
tons the product of such discord has been
communism or fascism. We must never reap
that harvest in America.

Too Sacred for FrivoIi+y

The winning of this war and the achieve
ment of a peoples peace are too sacred to be
cast off with frivolous language.
l believe that Americans whose loved ones
are dying on the battlefronts of the world
men and women who are praying daily for the
return of their boys-want the issues which
vitality affect our future discussed with the ut
most earnestness. This / shall continue to do
with full consciousness of the solemn obliga-
ton placed upon me by my nomination for
President of the United States.
My opponent, however has chosen to wage
his campaign on the record of the past and has
INDUCED in charges of fraud and falsehood. l
am compelled, therefore, to divert this evening,
long enough to keep the record straight He
had made the charges. He has asked for it.
Here it is.
My opponent describes as fantastic
charge" the statement that his administration
plans to keep men in the army when the war
is over because it fears there will be no jobs
for them in civil life. Well, who first brought
that up?

Cannot Laugh Away Record

Now why does my opponent first describe
what is a matter of record as fantastic
charge" and then try to laugh off the problem
of jobs after the war; He jokes about depres-
sions-about the seven straight years Of un-
employment of his administration. But he
cannot laugh away the record.
In March. 1910, Mr.. Roosevelt had been in
office seven years Yet the depression was still
with us. We still had 10 million Americans
unemployed These are not my fgures-these
are the figures of the American Federation of
Labor.
Is that fraud or falsehood? If So let Mr..
Roosevelt tell it to the American Federation Of
Labor.
BY waging relentless warfare against our
job making machinery, my opponent succeeded
in keeping depression going IL years-twice
as long as any depression in a century. And
the somber, tragic thing is that today he still
has no better or different program to Offer

Quotes SeIec+ive Service Chief

Here is the statement by high official of
the administration as reported in the publica-
ton of the United States Army, the Stars and
Stripes. He said:
I'VE can keep people in the army about as
cheaply as we could create an agency for them
when they are out"
Now who said that? 1t was the National
Director of Selective Service appointed by Mr..
Roosevelt and still in office.
But, says Mr. Roosevelt, the War Depart
ment thereafter issued a plan for speedy
discharges" You can read that plan from now
until doomsday and you cannot find one word
about speedy discharges" 1t is in fact,
statement of the priority in which men will be
discharged after the war 1t does not say
whether they are to be retained in service a
month or years after victory. That will be up
to the next administration. The present adj
ministration, with its record of peacetime
failure, is afraid to bring men home after
victory That's why it's time for a change.

Nation Caught Unprepared

Now had not intended in this campaign
to rake over my opponents sad record of
failing to prepare the defenses of this country
for war. It's all in the pasta very tragic past.
1t has cost countless American lives it has
caused untold misery.
But Mr.. Roosevelt has now brought the
subject up. He seized violently upon the state
ment that we were not prepared for war when
it came. He calls that classification" which
not "even Goebbels would" have attempted.
Now. were we prepared for war, or were we
not? 1t is simple question of fact.
In 1910, the year after the war began in
Europe, the United States was in such tragic
condition that it could put into the field as
mobile force no more than $4,000 men. The
army was only rs per cent ready" Now, Mr..
Roosevelt did those statements come from
Goebbels? Was that fraud or Justification?
Those are the words of Gen. George c.
Marshall, chief of staff of the United States
Army under oath.

RidicuIes Two-Ocean Navy

In 1887 he said:
How happy we are that the circumstances
of the moment permit us to put our money into
bridges and bOulevards . rather than into
huge standing armies and vast implements of
war"
But war came just two years later. 1t was
in January of 1910, that publicly called for a
two-ocean navy for the defense of America. 1t
was that statement of mine which Mr.. Roose-
welt called and quote his words
"Just plain dumb"
Then as now, we got ridicule instead of
action.
The war rose in fury. When Hitlers armies
were at the gates of Paris, Mr. Roosevelt again
soothed the American people with the jolly
comment: There is no need for the country to
be "discomboomerated"
The simple truth is, of course, that Mr..
Roosevelt's record is desperately bad. It is not

THIS newspaper is proud indeed
i that at the national convention of
the American Legion in Chicago last
week the William Randolph Hearst
Americanism Trophy came to
Michigan.
The trophy is awarded annually
to the state department of the Ameri-
can Legion which is deemed to have
prepared and accomplished the most
constructive program of teaching and
spreading true American ideals
among the people of it's state.
This year the Michigan state
department of the American Legion
won handily over the At other states
and departments of Alaska, Panama,
Hawaii, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the
Philippines.
Whether through modesty or a
lack of proper exploitation the fact
remains that all too few persons in
Michigan realize the tremendous
scope of the patriotic functions car
ried on by the American Legion of
their state.
THE Michigan Legion work in
l. cludes yearly oratorical contests

Indisp ensabIe-+o Machines

He is indispensable to Americas leading
enemy of civil lberties-the mayor of Jersey
City. He is indispensable to those infamous
machines, in Chicago-in the Bronx-and all
the others. He is indispensable to Sidney Hill
man and the political action committee, to Earl
Browder, the ex-convict and pardoned Com
munist leader
Shall we, the American people, perpetuate
one man in office for is years in order to
accommodate this motley crew? Shall we ex-
pose our country to a return Of the seven years
of New Deal depression because my opponent
is indispensable to the ill-assorted power
hungry conglomeration of city Bosses Com
munists and career bureaucrats which today
compose the New Deal?
Shall we submit to the counsel of despair
that in all the great expanse of our nation
there is only one man capable of occupying the
White House?
The American people will answer that
question in November They will see that we
restore integrity to the White House so that
its spoken word can be trusted once again.

Room for Freedom. Opportunity

America has not lost its passionate belief
in opportunity. 1t need never lose those beliefs.
For here in this country Of ours there is plenty
of room for freedom and for opportunity and
we need not sacrifice security to have both
freedom and opportunity.
To achieve these detectives we must have
integrity in our government We need new
high standard of honesty in the government Of
the United States. We need singleness of pur-
pose a devotion to the people of this country
and to the gigantic problems we face at home
after this war. We need whole-souled devo-
ton to the building of peoples peace that will
last beyond the lives and friendship of any
individuals. We need humility and courage
With the help of Almighty God we shall achieve
the spiritual and physical strength to preserved
our freedom in the pursuit of happiness for all.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 20 (UP)-The
teTt of Cor. Thomas +. DeWey'S speech:
Mr.. chairman and fellow Americans:
For two and half weeks l have been
laying before our people the program believe
must be adopted if we are to win at home the
things for which our American men are fight
ing abroad In six major speeches / have set
forth part of that program There is much
more to come.
In doing this, have been deeply conscious
that this campaign is being waged under the
most difficult circumstances and at the most
trying time in our history as a nation. Our
national unity for the war and for the cause
of lasting peace must be strengthened as a
result of this campaign. l believe the conduct
of the campaign on our side has greatly
strengthened that unity.
had assumed that every American joined
me in hoping that would be the spirit of this
campaign. Last July, Franklin Roosevelt in
accepting his party's nomination for fourth
term said:
81 shall not campaign in the usual sense
in these days of tragic sorrow, do not
consider il fitting"

TheChina Disaster

THE war in China has gone from
i bad to worse until it is now not
merely matter of grave concern, as
it has always been, but an almost
irreparable disaster.
The japanese are within few
miles of securing an unbroken line
from Manchuria to the China Sea,
which will split China in two and
virtually end her participation in the
war.
The Fourteenth American Air
Force in China has been compelled to
abandon and destroy the most i'm
portant of its few bases.
Gasoline flown into China over
the Himalayas from India has been
burned, as the only alternative of
yielding it to the enemy.
Time and time again the warning
has been given by military and diplo-
matte authorities who KNOW China
that the only way to keep China in
the war was to supply her.
Now China is almost completely
OUT of the war.
We have given her too little aid,
and the little we have given her has
been WASTED.
THIS is stark tragedy of monu-
L mental proportions.
It is an unnecessary tragedy, al
most a CRIMINAL tragedy.
AS Rep. Warren Magnuson of
Washington, naval veteran of the
Pacific war, grimly says:

Bluntly that fault is OURS, for
as Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
military affairs committee says:
LET us not blame the Chinese.
"They faced more than flesh and
blood can stand.
"Let us blame OURSELVES"
That is plain talk, but it is TIME
for plain talk about the Pacific war.
TT Is true that We have won i'm.

theater.
We have saved Australia.
We have taken back Guam.

Truman BIames Leadership

Again, in magazine article in Nov, 1912,
this statement appeared:
1.-THE reasons for the waste and confusion,
the committee found were everywhere the
same: the lack of courageous, unified leader
ship and centralized direction at the top"
Again, on the floor of the Senate in May,
1913, these words were uttered:
after Pearl HarbOr we found ourselves
wOefully unprepared for war;"
Was that DR.. Goebbels on the floor of the
Senate? Both those statements were made by
Harry S. Truman
Listen to these words:
when the treachery of Pearl HarbOr came
we were not ready"
Mr. Roosevelt, were those words from DR..
Goebbels? The man who said that was Alben
Barley, your majority leader of the United
States Senate. And where do you suppose he
said it? Right in his speech nominating you for
a fourth term.
Now why is it, we were not ready when we
were attacked? Let's look at Mr.. Roosevelts
own words. In message to Congress in 1885,
he said:
There's no ground for apprehension that
our relations with any nation will be otherwise
than peaceful"

and the Carolines and the Marianas
and New Guinea from the japanese.
We have ended the japanese
menace in the Aleutians.
We will shortly retake the Philip
pines.
All this represents achievement
of vast Importance.
But it does not represent the
DEFEAT OF JAPAN.
eve face the grim need of recap
turing China" says Rep. Melvin
Mas of Minnesota.
"Our real tDar LIES AHEAD"
The neglect and abandonment of
China, which we need so vitality for
land and air assaults upon Japan, is
indeed OUR fault.
But who is this collective "our"
which is so much at fault?
The American PEOPLE have al
ways wanted a total war against
Japan instead of a TOKEN war.
The long war of attrition and re-
treat and defeat which once per-
mitted the expansion of the japanese
empire to the very shores of Aus
tralia and almost to the shores of
North America was not public or
popular policy in America.
DEP. MAS puts the real fault
IL into words.
"The fault lies With a president
who is running for fourth term on
his record as commander in chief of
our military forces" he says.
"That record began at Pearl Har-
Dor.
at continued with the blunder of
not sparing enough from Europe to
saUe China and our GUN necks
there"
It is reported from Washington
that American authorities are now
desperately seeking a military
shake-up in China "to prevent the
Allied flank in Asia from falling
apart just as campaigns to Wreck
Japan are developing in the Pacific
and Burma"
The real and desperate need for
shake.up is among the American and
Allied policy makers who deliber-
ately risked such situation, and are
thus responsible for the ominous and
dire problem that has resulted
from it.

Plans But Not Planes

Dec. 7, 1871, found the Army Air Forces
equipped with plans but not with planes"

quote again:
Dec. 7, 1871, l found the Army Air Forces
equipped with plans but not with planes"
Did that come from Goebbels? That state
ment was made in an official report on JAM 4th
of this year by Gen. H. H. Arnold commanding
general of the Army Air Forces.
Does my opponent still desire to use the
words Justification and "Goebbels?" Does he
still claim we were prepared? If So let's go
further
Four months before Pearl Harbor there was
debate in the United States Senate The
chairman of a Senate committee described on
the floor of the Senate the shocking state of
our defense program.
Senator Vandenberg asked the chairman
where the blame should be laid and the chair
man replied
There is only one place where the re-
sponsibility can be put"
Then Senator Vandenberg said where is
that-the White House,"
And the chairman of the committee replied,
Eyes, sir"
Who was the chairman of that committee?

Let us look at the closely supervised words
of the nd-picked candidate for vice president.
He said of my opponent:
"The very future of the peace and pros
perity Of the world depends upon his reelection
in November"
have not heard Mr.. Truman repudiated by
Mr. Roosevelt as yet. He waits to shed his vice
presidents until they have served at least one
term
Here are the words of Boss Kelly Of the
Chicago machine, the manager of that fake
third term draft of 1910:
"The salvation of this nation rests i'm one
man."
Was that statement ever repudiated by Mr.
Roosevelt? Ne, it was rewarded by increased
White House favors. So it was repeated again
by the same man at the same time in the same
place and for the same purpose this year:
"The salvation Of this nation rests in one
man."
And was it falsehood that one of the first
acts of Mr.. Roosevelt's newly selected national
chairman was to announce last May that he
was for fourth term and-that he was look
ing forward to fifth term?
