 Economic Division
 'Whether we like 1t or not, and regardless of the party in power, government Is committed to some degree of economic direction" he said, Certain government measures to influence broad economic eondi- tons are both desirable and ineVit- able"
 For example, he said, there should be limited government control of money and credit to keep interest rates stable, government work program to take up the slack in enl. ployMent which private enterprise cannot absorb. and support for the prices of basic agricultural products,
 "Government's first job in the peaeetime years ahead will be to see that conditions exist which promote widespread job opportunities In pri. vatc enterprise" he said,
 "There are many means to that end, including the creation of for. eign markets and the promotion Of foreign trade. If ct any time there are not sufficient jobs in private employment to 90 around, then gov- ernment can and must create addi- tional job opportunities"
 Dewey said he did not mean jobs on the federal payroll,
 "If all of us should 90 to work for the government" he began, pausing aS the crowd laughed, T do not need to point out that our system then would be no different from Communism or FaScism,"
 Alternative
 As an alternative he proposed three principles of government ac. ton which he described as "the eX- act opposite of the new deal" He listed;
 Its objective must be not to restrict individual economic oppor. tunity but to widen it."
 2,-"(It) must be administered by men and women who believe in and understand American workers, American businessmen and Ameri- can farmers"
 S-"The role of government can. correcting abuse, of telling people not be the purely negative one oi what they may or may not do."
 Dewey said he recognized the danger of either complete govern ment regulation" or complete reae- ton" in government intervention into social and economic affairs. He charged that the Roosevelt adminis- tration in l2 years has failed to face the situation frankly and courag- eously,
 instead" he said, Tt has sought to buy the favor of one group and then of another. It has pretended to be the generous uncle for each group, meanwhile playing one against the other for political profit, It has built up towering bureau- cracy which today reaches into the smallest village in the country and directly affects the lives of all our citizens. It has sought to fasten up- on the individual citizen the dead- ening hand of bureaucratic control"
