Dewey 10 Elaborate

Philadelphia Address
Makes Speedy Discharge
Of Troops Major Issue
(Tert OF Coz. De1Dey's address
on Page A-12.)
BY ]. A. O'LEARY,
Star Staff Corresnondent

ON DEWEY TRAIN EN- ROUTE
TO LOUISVILLE, Sept. S.-Gov.
Thomas e. Dewey tonight will
give the country his views on
how to keep the world at peace,
after having revealed in Phila-
delphia last night that he will
make the speedy return of the
troops after this war a major
issue Of the Republican cam
paign.
Opening his two-month election
drive before $4,000 in Philadelphia s
Convention Hall, the 42-year-old
Republican nominee accused the
New Deal of planning to keep young
man in uniform because it fears
another depression when the guns
cease firing.
He pictured the present admins
tration as lacking faith in the future
OF America, and himself as one who
is not afraid of the Nations ability
to prosper and expand in peace time.
But he insisted New Deal methods
had failed to solve domestic prob
lens for eight years, until the out
break OF war put men and women
to work.
Time for q Change.
Now Washington is getting all
set for another depression" Gov
Dewey declared. They intend to
keep the young men in the Army
The New Deal spokesmen are daily
announcing that reconversion will be
dimcult, If not impossible. They say
that relief rolls will be enormous.
They drearily promise us that we
will need to prepare for an army of
unemployed bigger than the armies
We have put in the field against the
Germans and the Japanese. That's
what's wrong with the New Deal.
That's why it's time for q change.
In making the charge that the
administration will demobilize the
Army slowly for economic reasons
when the war ends, Gov. Dewey said
a recent statement by Mai. Gen
Lewis B. Hershey, director Of selec-
tive service, bore out this intention
This basic issue was clearly re-
vealed in the recent announcement
by the director of selective service
IN Washington" Gov. Dewey de-
clared. He said that when Ger
many and Japan have been defeated
it will still be necessary to demobil-
ize the armed forces very gradually
And why? Because, he said we can
keep people in the Army about as
cheaply as We could create an
agency for them when they are
out"
Gov. Deweys discussion of foreign
policy tonight will be awaited with
interest, in view of his recent move.

that musket down and give you bat

1t was so well received that in about
a year he was chosen to lead the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers. Crawford proclaimed the 1912
NAM policy as, We've got Roosevelt
on the run. Well keep him on the
run. Let's spend some real money
this year. What he hell-itll only
cost us 20 per cent, the rest will go
for taxes anyway" Now we begin

velt, anti-labor hysteria unfold Tories,
generally speaking, know no country,
no flag, no god but the dollar, the
pound or what have you.
Let us suppose that trade unions
would insist on complete domination
of all agencies of government, deny
any social responsibility and under
mine any equitable program for unity
in the war effort. Such a policy
would be branded as nazi traitorous.
Fortunately, trade unions reject this
supposed plan or program and are
willing to make sacrifices for the war
effort on the basis of equity. But
the National Association of Manufac-
turers, spokesman for American fl
nance and industry, has encouraged
