Soviet Thrust
RipsApart
German Flank
Twin Power-Drives
Aimed at Heart
Of East Prussia
By DANIEL DE LUCE

MOSCOW, Oct. 10 - up -
A storm Of Russian artillery
fire broke today on beseiged
Memel, German-held port on
the Baltic, while to the South
ward two Soviet armies wheeled
and hurled their full weight into
a drive on the east Prussian
fortress city of Tilsit.
The great Baltic offensive Of
Generals Ivan c. Bagramin and
Ivan Cherniakhovsky, ripping
apart the German coastal flank
protecting the heart of East
Prussia, matched in spectacular
success the sweep of General
Rodion Malinoysky's forces into
northern Hungary.
CUT LINE OF RETREAT
There, after cutting the rail-
way retreat routes behind the
German and Hungarian forces
In the northern Transylvanian
salient, the Russian spearhead
thrust into the outskirts of the
Magyar military training center
of Debrecen. General advances
on the looping front put the
Russian forces within SO miles
Of Budapest.
(Berlin said the Russians were
using nearly 100000 men in
the battle of the Lithuanian
bulge in an effort to isolate IS
German divisions still in the
Baltic area, and to spearhead a
thrust into Germany's eastern
most province from the north.)
Battling fierce Nazi resistance,
the Russians jabbed two prongs
of a pincer north and south Of
Memel. One Soviet column cap

Baltic port, while another took

Must Stabilize Interest Rates

That six billion dollars year must be raised
by taxes before we begin to meet the current
costs of government. We cannot afford sub
stantal rise in interest rates which would still
further increase the cost of carrying our ma
tional debt.
SO one result OF this unprecedented govern
ment debt which now faces us is this; In order
to keep down taxes and prevent the price of
government bonds from falling as they did
after the last war, the federal government is
going to have to keep interest rates stable.
Now, let's take up another vital aspect Of
our life-wages. In bygpne days working men
and women worked for whatever they could
get. When lot of people were looking for work,
wages went down.
In hard times people had to work for lit
orally starvation pay. That was one Of the
brutal ways our society adjusted itself to de-
pressons under the old-time dog dog
economy. Those days are never coming back
again.
They are not coming back because we are
never again going to submit to mass unemploy-
ment. Governments first job in the peacetime
years ahead will be to see that conditions exist
which promote widespread job opportunities in
private enterprise.
There are many means to that end nclud-
ing the creation Of foreign markets and the
promotion of foreign trade If at any time there
are not sufficient jobs in private employment
10 go around, then government can and must
create additional job opportunities There must
be jobs for ALL
We have unemployment insurance old age
pensions and minimum wage laws. They are
here TO stay and we are going to broaden them.
Tomorrow night on the radio from Los Angeles
shall discuss some of the things we need to
do 10 advance our social progress. We have
strong labor unions. protected by law in their
rights TO collective bargaining.

1t has built up towering bureaucracy
which today reaches into the smallest village IN
the country and directly affects the lives OF all
our citizens. Not content to deal with major
economic factors, or possibly because it was
not competent to deal with them, it has sought
to fasten upon the individual citizen, the dead
ening hand of bureaucratic control.
The result is that today we confront two
dangerous alternatives Under one, we may slip
by gradual stages into complete government
regulation of every aspect of our lives. Under
the other, we may become so intolerant OF the
restraints and interferences in our lives as to
take refuge in complete reaction. Either or
these courses would be tragic. Neither Is
necessary.
We have reached point where we must
make a crucial decision. We must decide TINS
year whether we shall reject both OF these
courses and choose new leadership pledged
to attain maximum of security without loss
of our essential freedom, and with neither
malice nor favor toward any group or class.
For myself, ! am utterly confident that
America can achieve stability and lasting pros
perty without the loss of any part of its politi-
cal freedom.
Facing the world ahead and recognizing the
necessity of government active IN promoting
the best interests of individuals and OF indl-
vidual enterprise we should establish three
principles at the base of such action. All three
of these principles are the exact opposite OF the
New Deal.
The first is that government action must be
of character consistent with the American
system of opportunity for all. Its objective
must be not to restrict individual economic
opportunity but to widen 1t.
Government must do this without any reser-
vations as to its faith in individual enterprise.
II must promote fair trade and not consider
trade as something just to be tolerated,
The second principle is that government
action must be administered by men and
women who believe in and understand Amer.

Character Of Men Vital

There has perhaps never been time IN our
history when the character of the men VINO
compose our government was so important as
it is now.
The temptation to be bureaucratic, to usurp
power to puff themselves up has proved IT.
resstbe to those who have swarmed TO WASH
ington under the New Deal We must have men
in government who have the strength OF
character to resist the inevitable temptation
toward petty tyranny. We must have men IN
office who believe that the preservation OF
individual rights and freedoms is more impor-
tant than the exaggeraton of their own power
Finally we must have new point of view
toward the relationship between government
and the people. The role of government can
not be the purely negative one of correcting
abuse of telling people what they may or may
not do, Government must, be the means by
which our people, working together, seek to
meet the problems that are too big for any one
of us or any group of us to solve individually.
The industrial worker however capable and
energetic he may be, cannot in our modern
society assure himself by his own unaided
efforts continuity of employment. Even the
largest industrial corporation cannot maintain

New Deal The Great Divider

The Judges when called upon 10 apply them,
are violently divided among themselves. There
can be neither freedom nor healthy economy
under laws and DEGREES which are so multi
tudnous that business, labor leaders and indeed
citizens generally, cannot be law abiding except
by doing nothing
The man who has an idea that could lead
to greater job opportunities must feel that
government is AS anxious for him to succeed
as he is himself
That means also that government must
cease to pursue policies which foster antagon-
ism and mutual distrust between workers and
employers.
For too long we have been nation divided
and government has been the great divder.
Now under the stress of war we have drawn
closer together We have, come to appreciate a
little better the part that each of us must play.
Labor, industry and agriculture, each in its
place, has made mighty contribution to the
winning of the war. We must learn to work
together in peace as we have worked together
in war. We must seek mutual understanding

the grinding down OF the wages OF Worklngmen
and women.
So here again we recognize that our econ
omy has become more subject to government
action. The savage old cutthroat adjustments
are gone for good. We simply will not tolerate
them.
Now consider agriculture The farmer, too,
has lived under the iron law of supply and
demand. In wartime or when crops were normal
and demand was good the farmer prospered.
When crops were big and demand was small,
the farmer watched his produce 60 begging
while his children were in need.
But the farmer had no control over either
supply or demand. He might work his head off
all summer long, and then lose everything. He
had no protection from the memorable swings
of the economic cycle, which swept him alter
nately from good times to distress.
All that is also in the past. AS a nation, we
are committed to the proposition that the
prices of ma jor farm crops must be supported
against the menace of disastrous collapse.
We have undertaken that commitment for
the sake of the entire nation We know that
depression on the farm leads to depression in
the nation, just as unemployment and misery in
the city leads to misery on the farm.
In agriculture, in labor and in money, we
are committed to some degree of government
intervention in the free workings of our eco
nomic system. In many directions the free
market which old-time economists talked about
is gone
Now, in all these there exists an obvious
danger to our fundamental freedoms. The
danger is that in accepting the support of gov
eminent in certain broad aspects of our
economy we may slip by stages into complete
government control of our lives.
In other words, in our search for economic
security we may lose forever, our personal and
political freedoms.
Not once in all the past II years has the
New Deal faced this situation frankly and
courageously. Instead, it has sought to buy the
favor of one group and then of another. 1t has
pretended to be the generous uncle for each
group, meanwhile playing one against the other
for political profit.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-23
Freedom Price of Security2

The present administration has failed
utterly to find a solution for that problem.
Saturated as il is with the defeatist theory that
America is past its prime, the New Deal can
see only two possibilities for America-ever
increasing RECOMMENDATION as one alternative,
and reaction as the other. 1t believes that eco
nomc security can only be purchased at the
price of freedom.
That argument is false. Our people do not
want TO see this country dragged further and
further toward complete government control
over every aspect of our lives. Neither do we
want to go back to the reactonary philosophy
of deg-eat-dog.
Neither of these alternatives is necessary.
There is better way. There is an American
way to meet the modern needs for greater
economic stability and individual security
within the framework of free society.
Let's consider a moment where we are
tnday.We speak of freedom, but the farmer
asks Does that mean freedom to go broke
when there are peacetme SURPRISES and the
prices of our crops fall ruinously?" Labor asks,
Docs that mean freedom to walk the streets
in bad years, looking for work at any price,"
These are questions which go to the heart
of our problem No man can be free when he
stands in constant danger of hunger. BY the
same token, no man can be either free or secure
under a government which seeks to regulate
his whole life.
SO what is the solution? Must we accept the
New Deal way of ever increasing RECOMMENDATION
as the only escape from reaction? / think not.
Whether we like it or not and regardless of
the party in power, government is committed to
some degree Of economic direction. Certain
government measures TO influence broad eco
nomic conditions are both desirable and in
evitabe.
Let me give you just three examples
First money and credit. Before we have
finished financing the war our national debt
may be over three hundred billion dollars. The
annual interest on that debt at current rates
will be six billion dollars
That is more than the total annual cost of
our national government in any peacetime year
before the New Deal.
