I'VE are In for n profound
revolution; but who also con-
soled us by saying: 1--WE are not
going to use the WHOLE Rus
sian political and economic
system here In the United
States"
There is Francis Biddle who
defiantly shouted:
"No business I'm this country
Is immune from seizure"
CONSTITUTION FLOUTED
And there is Franklin Roose-
welt himself, who once told Con-
gresc TO pass certain law re-
gardles- of doubts, however rea-
sonable, as TO its constitutional
ity.
Executive laws, which Congress
never passed. are so complex and
contradictory that nobody can
understand them not even the
lawyers.
But this does not tell the whole
story. During these past II
years, the President has sought
10 relegate Congress TO a SUBJ
servient role.
Shortly before il expired, the
National Resources Planni n G
Board predicted:
Congress will surrender TO
the Executive the power TO tax.
and while appropriating huge
sums Of money, will surrender
its power Of directing how IL
shall be spent"
In the same manner, the Presl-
dent has sought 10 bend the courts
10 his will. You will remember
his 1887 proposal TO pack" the
Supreme Court.
1 say TO you. people of America,
that the New Deal is not a peo-
pies government. The power it
now exercises has already proved
shackles for the liberties of people.
That is why the New Deal is reac-
tionary-not liberal. And that is
why Thomas K. Dewey must be
elected president OF the United
States.
But there is now an even more
urgent reason why this nation
needs a change of leadership. /
refer to Sidney Hillman of the Pc.
litical Action Committee and Earl
Browder, the Communist and ex-
convict whom President Roosevelt
pardoned.
By boring from within they
hope 10 take over America. Hill
man and Browder have been iden-
titled with the Communist and
radical movements which have
sought TO disrupt our economic
and social life for generation.
RED SUPPORT CITED
Browder just last month at
Madison Square Garden said that
American Communists will in
1914 support Franklin d. Roose-
welt for president OF the United
States"
That is why independent work.
ers and Democrats by the millions
are coming over to the Republican
side in the election.
The Republican party proposes
to end this retreat 10 old world
systems. We propose TO turn this
nation about-and to mach for
ward. a united and prosperous
people. We believe in freedom
and the future of freedom in
America.
We have faith In the economic
system of America. 1t has made
US the greatest and most powerful
nation in the world. What we
have accomplished in the war
proves that. But there is a vast
difference between regulation and
RECOMMENDATION.
MUST PURGE NATION
Public ownership or manage
ment of agriculture. industry or
labor has no place in our free
economy and the public interest
does not require II. The ConSti-
tuition has been a bulwark of pro-
lection of our people against con-
centrated power-economic power,
religious power. political power,
the power of the masses or the
power of the classes.
We must purge our land of the
class hatreds and radical power
of Hillman and his Political Ac-
ton Committee.
We have faith in the Bill of
Rights and our American form of
government. Into them are writ
ten the spirit of the Magma Charta
and the Bill of Rights of Old Eng
land. the written laws and the
great decisions of the courts OF
the common law.
And finally, we have faith in
the future of America. We are
not defeatists. This nation is
truly young and virile nation.
We believe that the best is yet
TO be. For that our sons are
fighting and dying around the
world. For that we till our soil
and harvest our crops. For that
we labor in offices and shops and
factories all over our land.
That faith is liberalism. II IS
the only true liberalism the world
will ever know. May God give
us strength to make it n living
reality.
